Maybe someone smarter than yours truly can it figure out. It depends on who show up. If the top 16 don't show up all but 17-32 do, then those will be the 16 players in pool. the only thing that is certain is if anyone in the top 16 show up, they will be seeded. Anyone at 17th or below may or may not be seeded. For example I think Gretorp was 17th or 18th before this MLG, but because Socke/someone else didn't show up he got pool play again. | ||

MLG is almost entirely not worth it for Korean players if they don't get sent. If you think of plane ticket+hotel+food+long trip+jetlag you're looking at much too much cost to battle it out in a tournament where the top prize is 5k. MC does it because he apparently loves interacting with foreigners and has made his money worth every time, but it's just not the same for most Koreans. I wish MLG got more money from their sponsors or more sponsors so the prize pool could be bigger, making it worth it for more people to come, but I'm sure that's really difficult and they're doing all they can. It's just kind of a sad prize pool for the effort put into each event and the great results that said effort yields. I don't think it's even worth it for Europeans to come over for MLG. With that said, back to topic. I hope GSL keeps sending players and I hope they get the points that the previous players earned because having to play through the open bracket at MLG is brutal. | ||

Just like GSL give one code S stpo and 3 code A, MLG should place one Korean into Pool Play (maybe two) and the others should be seeded (highly) into the open bracket. | ||

imagine you are MC you can spend $10k (and that's probably a high end estimate, don't really know how much a flight from korea to US and back is) flying out to every MLG, continue to increase your seed, and stand to have a very, very good chance at clinching that $50k prize at the end of the rainbow you have to think of it as a long term business investment, because the regular season events prize pools are small, but the seeding for the championships has a lot of value in and of itself what would honestly be pretty amusing is if all the european and korean powerhouses who haven't shown up to mlg yet all decide to fly out for the championships resulting in the most insane open bracket of all time | ||

A code S slot is way more prestigious then an MLG pool spot, just as a code A spot is way more prestigious then an open bracket spot. It would be utterly stupid to ditch the likes of MC, MMA, Losira in the open bracket for day and having them tear through all the lower level players off camera. | ||

I was very impressed with how many players finished in this last event.. it would be great to see a real rankings system, using other event results as well. Obviously for CSN.. we would have loved to have seen July go further. Considering the Koreans were the only one to knock out koreans.. it was bound to happen. Just some interesting numbers to consider.. July played 12 MATCHES and lost 2 and finished with $0 Idra played 16 MAPS and lost 3 matches and finished with $1.4K cheers.. | ||

Guess they'll have a good run at the open brackets anyways, so GL to them at annalheim. I'm happy that ThorZaIN didn't fail to impress though and the Koreans proved what they worth. Gretorp and Tyler out of the top 16 is actually an indication that life IS fair LOL. If you suck for that many MLGs in a row, you don't deserve to be at the top. And sadly enough, I don't forsee either of them making out of the Open Brackets alive at Anaheim or beyond unless they get a massive boost in motivation & performance. | ||

We may need to exclude the Koreans from the list if they only show up for 1 MLG event a year. The MLG format is way too confusing and has major flaws to take as a serious rankings system. A points system in which players are rewarded points for their finish based on the number of events they attend is extremely flawed and does not reward players for how well they do in the events they actually attend. I was very impressed with how many players finished in this last event.. it would be great to see a real rankings system, using other event results as well.

I agree the ranking system and format is flawed. The logic behind the point system is to add incentive for all players not to miss one event or else they get fucked. That's their logic anyway. As for the prize pool. Sundance said he's working on it. Next season the prize money will certainly double. | ||

I thought I had an answer for this but I don't, seems off to me too. Edit - NM, Vibe isn't in, the OP just said he is moving up. Tyler is out of the top 16 but still ahead of Vibe. | ||

The main reason he didn´t went to columbus was probably the EPS finals, he already said before that his sponsors care alot more about him doing well in the EPS and I mean he was in the finals. I´m curious tough how many koreans will be invited to the next Mlg. Are they just inviting the 4 players with the most GLS points or are they first asking if any of the others in pool are coming back? Edit: MLG is almost entirely not worth it for Korean players if they don't get sent. If you think of plane ticket+hotel+food+long trip+jetlag you're looking at much too much cost to battle it out in a tournament where the top prize is 5k. MC does it because he apparently loves interacting with foreigners and has made his money worth every time, but it's just not the same for most Koreans. Well you have to consider that they also earn points for the national championship which has a much bigger prize pool. The first place is about as much as winning a Code S season. | ||
