Seriously, you guys act like this is some mystifying force illogical behaivour that MLG does just to fuck with your heads. Its really simple. | ||

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 -_-. Sorry if I came of as a douche but I'm raging because foreigners are so defeatist because of the koreans etc when they have had some great priveligies to play in Korean tournaments. Like with TT1 being invited to play in the friggin Super Tournament (dunno wtf happened there but fnatic wouldn't send their players due to short notice or something) and the World cup (he went there and did a good job for the foreigner scene) first time I laid an eye on TT1 in Sc2. I don't see why that still can't be true, you shouldn't have the money in focus when you play, you play to compete you play to win if the money is 10 or 10,000$ even if there's no money! just look at Naniwa he wanted the damn MLG trophy more than the money and that is fucking awesome and I'm not saying that because I'm a Naniwa fan or a Swede I'm saying that because it's the right attitude. All this bitching about tournaments doing this and that wrong should just stop. If you have feedback to give MLG give it to them, whining about it on the forums doesn't help is just my two cents. | ||

Maybe Gretorp beat him, but how many did Boxxah beat that Gretorp didn't? I agree. He took the match, but did him taking that match off him mean he did more in that tournament? Gretorp underwhelmed badly. I understand the rules. But, I think it's a shame that's how it ended up working out. Hopefully Gretorp proves me to be an idiot and does work this tournament though. forget about that man, i bust my ass all season long last year to get top 3 and then because i have a huge opportunity presented my way and decide to miss out on the 1st mlg of the year im already forced to deal with a huge handicap, top 4 of the open tournament get seeded in the main tour and the rest of the players from the open bracket go to losers, so even if u do make it from the open bracket and dont finish in the top 4 ur pretty much screwed off the bat, while the rest of the players in the champ. bracket pretty much get everything handed to them(not putting any of the blame on them the blame is to be put on whoever came up with this retarded format) this fucking tournament format is the stupidest shit that ive ever seen, goddddd sorry for the negativety but it makes me so mad.. had to vent out somewhere edit: then seeing mlg giving out free invites to the kors while they pretty much tell everyone else to go claw their way throught the tournament(and all the future tournaments) is the icing on the cake ^^ so classy | ||

If you don't make it out of your pool you're done @ MLG? every pool has one winner, who goes to winners semi-finals. Every other player from groups gets seeded into losers bracket, as many as like 3 to 7 games from the finals, depending on their final place in the group. There is a huge difference between each place in groups, so its much better to finish 3rd than 4th, 1st than 2nd, etc I think MLG will change their format next season, this is a whole new way of doing things for them, and they like to experiment, but they hardly ever change mid-season. Remember that the National Championship is no pools so there wont be any arguing about it then lol. And TT1, MLG always favors the players who show up the most, it was even more unfair in halo for years. Its their model I guess. | ||

Group A: Naniwa- probably won't have to much trouble with Moon, slush, or drewbie if he prepares well. Group B: Kiwikaki- MMA seems like the strongest competition but I don't think he is as solid as kiwi. also hasn't been doing well in TvP Group C: GROUP of DEATH- Idra is my top pick cause hes been playing so well recently but its hard to rule out select or bomber in the mix becuase they are both so strong. In fact i hope that select has a good showing in matches with bomber, hes one of the few westerners i think can play in korea. Tough group, you can't really rule out anybody they are all strong. Group D: Losira: playing very well, ro8 in gsl code s last season. Incontrol and TLO are strong but I don't think they are good enough to beat a top 3 in the world (in my opinion) zerg. | ||

They want to use their dumbass format, and the players don't; how is this changed? By having large numbers of players/team managers insist that they adjust to a format more suitable to RTS play. If they won't do that, there are a LOT of other SC2 tournaments for players to enter. | ||
