Machine 530 I would assume that MC and MMA's respective teams will probably be sending them to Anaheim, and they have the points to be seeded into group play. Maybe even LosirA will be sent as well. | ||

Does that Yes mean Slush, Nani and Ret have accepted? My question is: who is going to Code A via MLG opportunity? | ||

I think he's referring to If they do not accept, will they simply go down the line until someone accepts? MLGLee said (Twitter) that they'll announce the code A invites when all 3 people interested in going confirm. | ||

Technically they could, though I would imagine there is going to be more interest from all teams to get one of their code a players into Anaheim because of the Code S slot. Maybe they can have a mini-tournament or something? That would be a cool way to pick the representatives instead of GOM just picking without parameters. | ||

It seems kind of ridiculous he might have to go through the open bracket again how high would whitera need to place to get seeded in the next MLG? Is it even possible for a foreigner with no or few points to get seeded now unless they can beat the Koreans for the top places?(maybe even more than once?) It seems like sort of a ridiculous "snowball" system in which the seeded players have a better chance of getting a strong showing, thus getting more points and being seeded higher. I think they could alter the system by giving more weight to recent events (like, Columbus is worth 1.5x the points of Dallas. After Anaheim, Ana pts are 1.5x, Columbus is 1x, Dallas is .75x, etc.) This would make recent results more important than past results and give a better chance to newcomers. | ||

- Tyler - Drewbie - Gretorp - Sheth - moon + Socke + 4 korean invites Socke enters (hopefully), but by placing 6th in Dalles he was invited to Columbus anyways. He just couldn't make it due to the Esl finals. Instead of Socke, Sheth got a shot into the pool, but sadly failed to get himself a seed for the next MLG by "only" placing 14th (making him top 10 non-Korean in that event). Tyler, Drewbie, Gretorp and Moon will make place for 4 new Korean invites, Moon barely failing to get a seeding by "only" finishing 8th place and losing to Machine by 10 mere points. By the way, just wanted to note that the fears of MLG being flooded by Koreans is unreasonable. The farther we are into an MLG season, the more points you need to get a seed. In Columbus, placing 8th wasn't sufficient for Moon to gain a seed and in Anaheim, placing 6th or 7th might not be sufficient either. | ||

I know Huk had to play in the open bracket. When he had more points because of his late sign up. Seth (17th place before Columbus) got into the pool, because Socke (6th place before Columbus) couldn't make it. | ||

I think they're trying to reward players who show up and work hard for each event to make it deep into the MLG final event (rewarded by favorable seeding) but it is true it makes it very hard to break in, especially for someone deserving like thorzain  | ||

MLG Pool play is 16 players Code A or S are 32 Having 3 / 4 Americans to come over to participate in a Ro32 is fine as it doesn't clog the bracket up with non Koreans like the problem we're seeing now. MLG should really just invite 2 Koreans to pool play and then let CSN or whoever have their Open bracket guy (should they do that again) but of course the problem could end up the same 8 MLGs down the road when they could have possibly slowly all clawed their way into the Top 16. | ||
