Let me explain some things here for those confused of how MLG's groups work, how these specific groups came to be, and certain players are in the championship bracket.
The Championship Bracket Pools and Open Bracket Pools are dependent of your seed going into the event. Going into Dallas, seeds were based on the total points standings at the end of the MLG 2010 Pro CIrcuit season. Going into Columbus, seeds are based exactly on the final placings/points of the Dallas event, with NaNiwa coming first, KiWi coming second, SeleCT third, etc.
For every player of the top 16 seeds (Championship Bracket seeds) that don't show up to Columbus, the entire field of players moves up one spot. Top 16 players are required to check-in to MLG to claim their top seed for the next event. Currently, HuK declined his spot to stay in Korea for the GSL Super Tournament, and Socke declined his spot because the EPS German Finals are the same weekend. With those two spots open, Sheth (15) and Gretorp (16) are now in the Championship Bracket.
Now with the GSL partnership in place, the four Korean players are placed into the Championship Bracket Pools based directly on their GSL points (which can be seen on the Super Tournament page). LosirA is the top ranking seed, while Moon is the lowest rankings seed.
I hope this helps people understand better!

Good God. Can we get every game in Pool C broadcast please? That's like an all star league in and of itself.
|
Wow. Group A and D look relatively weak, each with a couple of stars. B is pretty good. But holy shit, C is stacked.
Idra and Ret? Bomber and Select? some epic TvZs inc
|
Pool c is staacked damn...all players there are amazing
|
Bomber #1, you can do this BOMBAH!!
|
Naniwa has the ez group and group c is group of death!!!
|
Also...Idra has pretty bad luck with pools, doesn't he? Dallas, NASL, Columbus. They're all so tough.
|
I'm scared for ret  (( I hope the real ret turns up and he should do fine.

group c is more group of death than what group d was of the current msl.
|
Group C is gross in the best way possible. Also poor Inc and Machine hitting each other in pool play.

He has a tough group, but I believe. Ret fighting!

lol at Pool C. i mean there is no easy pool. but i think you can go 0-8 at pool C and not be ashamed.
Pool A seems relatively easy. Nani will probably maintain his undefeated mlg boX record.
Pool B seems fun.
Pool D has a lot of storyline. Incontrol vs TLO grudgematch and of course the perennial mlg flagship matchup , incontrol vs machine is back!
|
This is going to be incredible. Naniwa for a continued streak?
C group is the group of death... IdrA and Bomber on top is my prediction.
|
o wow.... Group C!! Bombers gonna all kill that group and Losiras gonna all kill his group.
