That is so lame! And of course if you don't make it through the open bracket this time you'll be way far behind cause the seeded players are guaranteed a high placement every event and the points will add up! So get used to the open bracket for the rest of the year. | ||

Also, lol@Group D just having ppl travel all the way to ur event to have them play in a qualifier is ridiculous in itself, they should run the qualification tour online in the future | ||

Good attitude mate, stop blaming tournaments people!!! They are doing great things, would you rather go back and play for 10-50$ in broodwar? Could the format be better? Sure, as of now it is the way it is and you just have to cope. | ||

Is that really such a hardship? You get at least five games in pool play to prove yourself. If you end up doing terribly in pool play, you can advance far in the bracket and then earn enough points to make it back into pool play in the stop after next. Seems more fair than what the current situation is. | ||

We love Ret and Tyler, But Ret went 1-4 in Dallas with his only win over a 1-4 Haypro. Tyler went 2-4 with his only win over Vibe and Agh(not really top tier pros). Honestly, none of these groups are stellar. With the way the system is, every group is seeded with two players with winning records in MLG play. Group play is turning into a lot of games with seeming walkovers if you go by past performances of players in the last six months. Bomber is probably the biggest threat from Korea. Idra and Select recently took top 3 IPL. Everyone in the group is 4-1 or better in NASL except for Tyler. Ret hasn't participated in any tournaments since moving back to europe, AFAIK. I think both group A and D are walkovers compared to group C. Group B is pretty decent, but not as scary as C imo. | ||

So get used to the open bracket for the rest of the year. Gretorp lost his group play matches, but won 2 rounds in the losers bracket (optik zero and i forget). Then he won placement games for the ranking against AhhBoxxah and such. He is there because he finished there not because of some random crap they pulled out of their ass. | ||

People just shouldn't be rewarded so heavily for being seeded. Maybe give players byes for being seeded instead. Skipping 80% of the competition is plain dumb though. | ||

Sure, as of now it is the way it is and you just have to cope. What kind of ignorant comment is this? At least in broodwar people played out of genuine love for the game and not just for the money -_-. Obviously Titty will pass up the opportunity to miss one MLG to play in a big tournament like he did. Sure the MLG format is great from a production standpoint, but it's absolutely horrible for the competition, which should be the priority -_-. | ||
