Yeah, only the first event of 2011 - Dallas - used points from the 2010 season for seeding. For Columbus onward, 2011 season points are being used for priority seeding, as drewbie said. Though it was in the competition format explanation for Dallas back in February, this seems to be one of those tidbits of information that was overlooked by a lot of folks (probably because it wasn't part of the OP's in their press releases posted on TL, I'm guessing).

So yep, if you skipped Dallas, you're starting from zero.

Group C is jaw dropping. I would back SelecT and Idra to advance

Predictions


Group A
Naniwa   4-0
Slush    3-1
Moon     2-2
Drewbie  1-3
Gretorp  0-4

Group B
Kiwikaki  4-0
MMA       3-1
Sjow      1-3
Sheth     1-3
Moonan    1-3


Group C
Idra    4-0
Select  2-2* 
Ret     2-2
Bomber  2-2
Tyler   0-4



Group D
Losira    4-0
Incontrol 3-1
Haypro    2-2
TLO       1-3
Machine   0-4

I don't know if you've seen MMA and Bomber play, but MMA won't lose to KiWiKaKi and Bomber certainly won't lose to SeleCT or Ret (I could see him losing to the Gracken). Also HayprO isn't nearly as good as Machine in my opinion, but that's not a big deal. Other than that I agree with what you posted.

Pool C - Drools .......

Sad that there will be a few liquid teamkills, and pool A seems rather weak except for Nani, but this will be interesting depending on the open seed positions.

yeah he beat mvp in a tvt losing to select just won't happen unless he gets owned by jet lag.

mma is my pick to win the tourny. best ace in gstl and gstl is unpredictable for matchups and maps and thats what mlg is.

Yes. At least for Thorzain - he's confirmed.

DeMu said that he was practicing hard for MLG on his stream, so he is confirmed.

I would pay 10 bucks just to see group C have a mini tournament. I live in Columbus and can't freaking wait to go see all of the players I watch stream. Any tips on what to do when you get slightly aroused by Idra in real life?

Dear lord, when you talk about groups of death, Group C certainly comes to mind. IdrA really doesn't have good luck when it comes to groups.

At least he still seems to dominate anyway. IdrA fighting!

Hope IdrA and SelecT make it out of C.
