I don't know, seems to be doing fine to me. I mean those people fighting through the open bracket, sure they do well, but the players seeded are playing like 10 times harder opponents, so them "failing to perform" can just be a question of "I'm playing slightly to hard players". Sure they still get some points for it, but in general you can see the people that failed to perform drop out of seeded. Moreso, the people that did perform all got above or very close to the people that failed this MLG. Am I correct in that the seeds reset again in end of 2011? 2012 etc? | ||

It was already stated in the thread about the exchange. Also i wonder what will happen to Tyler gum contract if he under-performs next MLG also... | ||

MLG had a really nice mix of players from different countries and I hope that MLG always will have the healthy mix. It is actually the only "global" lan tournament where we can all see NA/EU/SEA/Korea duke it out which is awesome. Dreamhack has that mix as well, and I dare say that Dreamhack summer will be alot better than MLG Colombus. | ||

Nestea July Losira DRG Moon MVP MKP MMA SC Nada Boxer MC Alicia San Squirtle Ace How much would this suck to see a live event with these 16 players? Probably need to invite 4 non-Koreans like Idra, Huk, Naniwa and Thorzain. So is this the worst case scenario for MLG? this might be a troll, i can't really tell. i don't think seeing a live event with what could be the best 16 players in the world would "suck" at all, in fact i think it would be the best event possible. do you people really hate koreans this much? | ||

Its funny cause if the Top 16 looks like that it will look like that for a reason. Not to be mean but regular Olympics draw way more viewers than Special-Olympics. So if non-Korean Pros will not keep up with Koreans i will be happily looking forward to a Top 16 like that. Worst case for MLG will be that they only allow 4 Koreans in the whole tournament to protect the non Korean players. Would only lead to a stagnation in skill. | ||

A live 3-day tournament with those players in the pools + some foreign pros in the open brackets would be a lot better than ... basically anything. Sundance, move MLG to korea, you know it makes sense. | ||

1. It's far-fetched due to scheduling conflicts and the fact their teams would have to fly them out. 2. How can you say it would suck when the entertainment value of the games would far exceed that of anything we've seen thus far? 3. I tell those people to get a grip and stop being poor sports. 2 years from now, there's a possibility that these guys will compete in fewer international tournaments based on the fact that OGN/MBC might get deals with Blizzard to start their own leagues and the Pro League will continue to get longer. They simply won't have time for us, so ENJOY it while it lasts and stop being d-bags about it. | ||
