This is amazing, such cool news to hear about the scenes spilling over, especially for Lan events.

I'm not too sure about getting put straight in Code S though, Code S is supposed to be an achievement.. I get you have to be good to win the MLG, but I don't know.

Still so cool!

I agree to some extent, but if you look at the past MLG winners, their talent is not lower. They have all been in Code-S other than Naniwa (IdrA, HuK and Jinro respectively), and after Naniwa's run in the TSL and going undefeated through the open bracket to win MLG, it's hard to say he isn't at least deserving of a chance to throw down in Code-S also.

edit; I don't expect the MLG winning incumbent in Code-S to be a slouch.


The thing with Code S is that it's 32 players around 25-30 of which are top drawer, top 10 at their race in the world players.

So even if you're good like Naniwa is, it's really easy to get crushed in Code S and find yourself in up and down looking like a chobo as MVP, San, Jinro, MC, Nestea, MKP and other quite clearly phenomenal players have done.

Winning Code S is extremely difficult as there's so little room for error. Look at Jinro, his only crime was losing to Nestea twice and he went to up and down. That's how unforgiving the format is.

MLG has some great players but a lot of not so great, and it's double elimination.

There's a big leap in the consistancy of talent between the two tournaments, so predicting anyone to win or reach the latter stages of Code S is really unpredictable, foreigner or Korean.

If you add up the minimal code S salary that about doubles the MLG 1st place prize.

I am genuinely interested, I bought a pass for mlg dallas and if the streaming gets better, I will buy one for the next event.

Hope someone at MLG responds.

GOM must be so sure about a Korean winning MLG so that a free Code S spot wont belong to a foreigner, which would cause much dispute in Korea

considering that top 4 now comes with a free trip to Korea, I'd say the prize pool is larger now.

MLG, eliminate CoD and give their prize money to SC2! Nobody would complain!

We are releasing all of our post Dallas improvements, fixes, and just general information very soon. It will cover the streams, commentary, and the live event.

We did not hide our heads and hope the issues went away. We went out and did everything we could to make sure it never happens again, and improved a lot of things along the way.

To offer Code S status don't they have to kick someone out of Code S? I wonder how that is going to work.

Seen alot of questions about this. Stay tuned for announcement next week about new streaming stuff. Sundance wasn't kidding when he tweeted that we were revamping the whole thing and bringing in a bunch of new infrastructure. It'll be solid. More news to come.
