If you don't make it out of your pool you're done @ MLG? 1st place in each group advance to Winner's semifinals, and everyone else gets dropped down into the losers bracket, no one gets eliminated from Pool play | ||

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. The format is suitable for RTS play, the downside is in order for it to really flesh out it takes a lot of tournaments and games to get people seeded where they really should be. As it stands, there haven't been a huge # of tournaments/games at MLG to really seed people properly. edit: Which obviously makes it less than optimal given a relatively light seasonal schedule, but quite frankly I've yet to see or hear a single tournament that people didn't complain about the format in. People just complain about MLG's, for instance, a lot more than GSL's because they think there's a chance it'll get changed. | ||

Seriously, you guys act like this is some mystifying force illogical behaivour that MLG does just to fuck with your heads. Its really simple. Only because some people didn't show up. (Including Huk who ultimately did end up showing up.) He wasn't in the Top 16 actually. | ||

I hate you with every actine fiber in my heart. On a serious note, are they streaming pool games? If they are, will be it at the style of NASL (stream event) or are they releasing just the VOD's later? Thank you =) | ||

Or how is that broken. The higher seeded players didnt show up, so he was bumped. That is exactly how every other tournament would work. What would you suggest? They randomly pick people from the pool? Or just pick in choose players that they thought were good? Boot him out when a person shows up at the last minute? That is far less fair. | ||

Second of all, they could leave the spot void. | ||

I echo the sentiments of the HOLY FUCKING BALLS reaction to group C, that is a straight up scary group. At least nobody is eliminated from pool play. | ||

So assuming Huk didnt decide to come to the event how would you seed that spot? Or should they just operate under the impression a random high seed player may or may not show up? | ||

Seriously, you guys act like this is some mystifying force illogical behaivour that MLG does just to fuck with your heads. Its really simple. And some bad players got seeded into code S in Janurary based on GSL 2010 points. However after that code S is only determined by placement in the last months results so they get pushed out while MLG will guarantee a high placement every time so their points will go up every time and will be harder to knock out every time. Placement in the national championship is mostly determined by the results of the first tournament of the year. (witch had the problem of seeding people based on 2010 points, and the time from Dallas to the championship is also a problem for determining current skill.) TT1 can get a few places higher then gretorp this time, but still not get seeded next time due to his point lead.Though adding 4 Koreans each time might push them out anyways depends if they keep coming after the invite. | ||
