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: LosirA is 7, MC is 10 in the overall rankings. This is how the groups would be: Group A: 1, 8, 9, 16 Group B: 2, 7, 10, 15 Group C: 3, 6, 11, 14 Group D: 4, 5, 12, 13 That puts losira, mc and idra all in group b. Again this hinges on all of them showing up. Well really you just need everyone ranked 11 or lower to show up. If that happens all 3 will be in the same group. | ||

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? It's not fair that he doesn't even get the chance to play lower seeded people. He didn't win a single match in columbus, yet finished in 27th place. What other tournament allows you to finish in the top 10% by losing everything? In columbus I only lost to a player who was ranked 23rd, and beat someone ranked 29th. Does that mean I should be ranked somewhere between 24th and 28th? | ||

If I remember correctly, they won't reinvite (meaning they'll pay for plane tickets and stay) a korean previously invited, but anyone is free to get there themselves and get seeded with the points they got when they were invited. That means it would be possible to have 8 koreans in pool play next MLG if MMA/MC/Losira/Moon fly in along with the 4 new korean invites. | ||

So it will not work the way, that with each tournament there will be four more Koreans seeded. (Not that I would be against it) Sorry, if that was already posted. | ||

For example: It has Sjow at 250 for Columbus because at the time it was unknown if he finished 13th/14th/15th/16th so they gave him the minimum of 250 for a 16th place finish. However, Sjow finished 13th and earned 340 points. Also, TLO did only earn 60, but Haypro earned 460. So Haypro will be ahead of TLO by 10 points. | ||

What other tournament allows you to finish in the top 10% by losing everything? How about the world's oldest association football competition... the English FA Cup! 762 entrants in 2009/10, but the Premiership and Championship teams don't enter until the 3rd round proper and can't possibly finish below 33rd-64th. BOOM, I WIN! In columbus I only lost to a player who was ranked 23rd, and beat someone ranked 29th. Does that mean I should be ranked somewhere between 24th and 28th? Shouldn't that be my first guess? I'm sorry the system let you down - it sounds like you kicked ass. (takes off devil's advocate robe and wig) Look, I'm not saying the system is perfect. I think it should react far quicker than it does. I'm just saying that in Gretorp's case it is at least consistent. And it means that MLG can make videos and compile stats for a few big name players, so for them - it works. | ||

It is sort of like if the GSL gave 6 Code S spots away to foreigners every new tournament. GSL did give 4 foreigner code A spot last time. Unfortunately, none of them survived except Huk. GSL could easily give like 4 spots for foreigners in code S, but no offense, it seems impossible for them to stay in code S. Plz name 4 players in MLG who had won 2-3 games v.s. Korean (coz this is minimum required winning number to stay in GSL code S, not to mention Moon and MMA is not current code S player). Wow, I'm sry, the result is none. | ||

U cant expect MLG still have same shit level of players while it growing. Their system is stupid enough to keep horrible players stays in the pool. If u cant even stay with this current system, it only indicates u are far beyond horrible. User was warned for this post | ||
