I am pretty damn disappointed MLG....I have no idea how on earth you could think that it's a good idea. Each set is an isolated event. What happened yesterday shouldn't matter today, and 20 other things. | ||

That is crazy. I think the history of past performance goes back way too far. In SC2 you are only as good as you are right now, not as good as you were 3 months ago, not as good as you were a year ago. I don't have the time to put math together to dispute this with numbers, but I know for a fact that's false. | ||

I particularly remember a quote from MLGLee on the SOTG podcast, and I can't quite quote it verbatim, but the gist of it was that they shouldn't use the rule set that has been around for years that other promotions and such use or used because some of them went defunct. I'm genuinely interested how many RTS games they ran over the years. If I'm correct SC2 is the first and only so far. Every other thing has been a shooter or a fighter with exception to WoW. I'm not going to discuss it further, but seeing them get flak for the rule set last year and seeing that the things that people particularly complained about carry over to this year seems rather ignorant. But whatever. Either people will bitch and it won't change or people will bitch and it will change. There's no door number 3 here. | ||

seed 16 has to play 7-13 bo3s to win. yeah, that doesnt make a lot of sense. Advantage is way to big for seeded players. | ||

NOBODY I'VE EVER TALKED TO OUTSIDE OF THE HALO COMMUNITY HAS EVER LIKED THE EXTENDED SERIES. Well it shows real class to not give a crap about the opinions of the players in your events. | ||

They announced over a month ago that they weren't going to change it (State of the Game). I think you make a big deal out of something that in the grand scheme of things isn't. I mean it isn't as bad as the BO1 coinflips scenario at a certain European tournament. By the way the player that is best on the most maps will win, regardless of map order. | ||

Seriously, we have to enter a 256 man tournament where if we're undefeated can enter another 16 man tournament where we possibly can win some money. It almost feels like rolling a dice. You can lose a match in the open bracket and still win the whole thing. If you don't lose a match in the open bracket, you can skip a bunch of rounds by doing well in group play. I can also imagine how boring it will be from a spectator view watching these games... Exactly the opposite actually. Top players play each other on all 3 days. Confusing, stupid and just.... like what purpose does this serve? To give fans something interesting to watch instead of pros beating newbs for 2 days until you finally get worthwhile matches on the 3rd day. While this might help getting better players into top brackets and giving us some better game in the end. It can also be solved by seeds, allowing top tier players facing newbs with no ranking points..... Like what the hell MLG. ..... MLG's top 16 doesn't seem particularly harder than GSL/NASL/TSL. The only difference is that MLG compresses it all into one weekend, so it does take some endurance, but it's not unreasonable. | ||

MLG shows once again that they don't care about the SC community feedback. Two games deciding the champion = retarded | ||

(when i say noob, they are all way better than me) edit: Might not understood shit, will repost if im just stupid, sorry | ||
