I like the results from the polls so far!

But one thing that bothers me is that every matchup but one is with Zerg and then we get this:

9:30 PM
FXOmOoNan vs. FXOSheth
SjoW vs. MMA
IdrA1 vs. LiquidRet - Feature StationStream
LiquidTyler vs. Bomber

10:30 PM
LiquidHayprO vs. Losira - Main Stage Stream


Two ZvZ's (worst matchup for spectators by far imo) in a row Would like to see Sjow vs MMA instead.

I don't get why we are seeing the same players over and over, let's just look at the main stages, polls not included.

2 IdrA
2 Bomber
2 Ret
2 iNcontrol
2 Losira

and with the poll we get :
3 IdrA
3 Losira


If we have a look at the matchup we get to watch :
2 TvZ
3 ZvZ
3 PvZ

With the poll we get

4 TvZ
1 PvT
3 ZvZ
3 PvZ


No TvT, no PvP ? 4 Toss matchup, 7 zerg matchup and 5 terran matchup ?

I feel those numbers are quite uneven, that + the fact that I can't see Tyler plays


i dont understand the point of what you are saying. you want a community vote to give exact racial and player balance, and not what people want to see?

Just think about it: What would be the end result if IdrA was available for all slots? He has the largest active following and thus the most votes whenever he is up to be voted on. Would that make "all IdrA games" a good schedule? Not really, because choice / variation is also a good thing to have.

Going always with the top vote only is kinda like the british electoral system, where the guy with the most votes gets the seat in parliament and all the votes for other people dont count towards anything anymore.


That is called democracy. It has only been used for thousands of years by most every prominent civilization. If you have a better idea, I would be glad to hear it. Idra may have a huge following but so do all the players. It's no one's fault but the fans, if they don't support their favorite players by voting.

Well there is no "one true form of democracy". If you had read the comment about the british electoral system you might have noticed that. In Germany we have TWO votes in our democratic system. One will elect a candidate and the other goes towards a party and I will still be represented in parliament. Thus even if my candidate doesnt win he only takes "half" the electoral potential, because the other part will directly go to the party. This should be enough to show that there are different ways of doing things - even in democracy - unlike you seem to claim. I think there have been times in Britain, where the ruling party had less votes in total than another party, but due to the nature of the seats they still had a majority ...

A "good system" might be to give people more than one choice and to vote for favorite players. Then you take the total number of votes and go through the matches while looking for popular players, BUT once you have had a player on the central stage he would be moved to the last spot of the selection. Obviously there arent all possible combinations of players available, so some compromise has to be made, but I think that might be a good way to give every player a chance to be on the central stage instead of only the popular 3-5 ones.

In any case I dont think that it was a great idea to let people choose matches, because this will kinda "take choice away from MLG" because they are under pressure of public opinion now and people will whine "but match X vs. Y was more popular" whenever they have to schedule something differently. Thus voting for player popularity removes several problems:
- popular players getting voted for more than once
- MLGs choice of matches being forced

I dont think specific matchups should be listed for the main stage, simply because this makes the schedule too dependant upon the speedy play of some participants. Imagine if there is a long series - off stage - with one contestant who is scheduled for the main stage next. All of the games are 45 minutes long, thus there would be a delay of at least 30+ minutes for the main stage stream. Now add the whining of kids for their "most popular matchup" I mentioned above and you have bad vibes which are the result of "promising" to show a specific match.

I hope this helps with finding a "better system" by pointing out potential flaws in this one ...


Actually there is a "one true form of democracy" it is the pure democracy in the greek sense. Where everyone who cares to vote has an equal vote. Which is what we are doing here by time slot. The american and british systems are variations on the theme of democracy.

MLG obviously doesn't think it is taking away their options, well at least no so tying their hands that would prevent such a system. they are only doing it for friday night not for the entire tournoment

This is good, giving the viewers what they want, and thereby ensuring the majority who voted will be satisfied with which games are being broadcasted.

I can't possibly see why you would argue that this is a bad thing.

Votes might put other people on stream more often, but so far you are on the mainstage more than Idra.

Haha :D

Erhm, is it just me or can you vote unlimited number of times in the same poll? I just tried voting for TLO vs. Losira 10 times, results changed, or at least appeared to have changed.

You might want to fix that so you don't get trolled
