It might make sense to give some bonus points for making it from the open bracket to create slightly more natural re-cycling of groups and to give more incentives for players playing from the open bracket. Given how much harder it is to go far from the open bracket I really think this makes sense and I think it's hard enough that even if the points were given a 20% bonus no player in a pool would volunteer for the open bracket. | ||

(well Moon might), so I don't think Machine, Sheth and maybe even Tyler have lost their seeding for the next MLG. Edit: The no-shows would make it just like how other players (i.e. Gretorp retained seeding). I'm pretty sure in the aftergame interview, MMA said he would come back if invited since he enjoyed MLG so much. | ||

I hope the team sends him if MLG doesn't invite him. MMA probably wants to fire off some kamehameha's and have his name chanted again. | ||

Devil's advocate here. The people Gretorp lost to in Columbus are ranked (according to Liquipedia, so not yet adjusted for Columbus tie-breakers): 1st 4th 16th (based on only 1 tournament, with an 8th place finish - so this person deserves better than 16th) 17th 22nd and 30th (based on 1 tournament, with a 17-20th place finish - so this person deserves better than 30th) In Dallas, he beat someone who is currently ranked 31st (and who has played in both tournaments). Based on that, doesn't a ranking of "somewhere between 22nd and 31st" seem almost, well... fair? | ||

Losira and MC are only 2 players apart, so they should be in different groups, shouldn't they? edit: Btw. the Koreans need to place top 5 or above for this trip to become economically viable to them. Even though I think they are capable of doing that, we might not see some of them returning. :sadface: | ||
