Hi everyone, MLG does it's groups by points, they've outlined how they do groups months ago before any of the events. There's no conspiracy. EG and Liquid have lots of players in the MLG Top X. Teamkills are inevitable.

Losira/MC don't have enough rank points to be seeded in top 16 after taking 2nd and 3rd at Cbus? Or did they just decide not to come?

Edit: Looks like they just don't get rank points? Not sure that I like that.

As has been said multiple times, they turned down their seeded spots because they would have had to pay their expenses out of their own/teams pockets. I vastly prefer there being only 4 seeded koreans every MLG, so I think this a good development. It would be fun to have some going through the open bracket through.

why ThorZain is not on the pool list while Huk is? Huk apparently has less points.

Do you know what is happening to Bomber?

I thought he was supposed to go to MLG Anaheim :0

Startale manager said that he would send Bomber to MLG Anaheim for correcting his 'visa' mistake in the past.

If GSL choose Bomber, it would be very lucky for him. (Because he's so ready to go MLG!)
But if it isn't, ST manager will send him as promised unless Bomber advance to GSL July finals.

Also, I understand Losira/MC turned down the Championship seed. They definitely want to focus on GSL and their journey didn't end right now. I feel they will face the same issue like Bomber, depends on the result of this GSL, they may choose to attend MLG Anaheim or maybe not.

Oww. Groups could have been better. Bad luck there.
Anyway I just bought the golden membership.

MLG is worth it.

I am very disappointed to see Group A. The only thing that could make it worse was if MC took the GSL spot in that group. Then we would have the best three Protoss in the world - MC, Naniwa and HuK - in the same group - which is totally unfair. Pools C and D seem very weak in comparison.

anyways ya everyone but naniwa and MC would be in trouble.

there are no teams at MLG, juts individuals. It sucks sometimes but it is a fair way of doing it. I think MLG should look into the GSL method though, it would be fun, even if it was done online behind closed doors.

Awesome to see TLO going. Should be a very exciting MLG once again (Boxer!!!). Also, please stop asking the same questions that have been answered in this thread already...please read & search before you post questions.

No respect for Europeans. Last MLG Sweden was spelled Sweeden, and now poor Socke has become Sockeh in the brackets.. >.<

The spellings of all the players in the bracket are based on what they signed up as. That's why you see things like GosuHuk and IdrA1.

Stop bitching about Team Kills, It's not a Team League it's an individual tournament so of course there is going to be team kills it's not liquids fault they all have similar MLG rank points so they get put into the same group, isn't that how it works? Even so TL have a lot of players in the top 20 and that being said who really cares. Since it's an individual tournament it's the best player wins not the best team.

Seems like pool B will be dangerous if DRG, MMA or MC go in there.. I'm not too sure about Boxer though, I feel IdrA, Sheth and Sjow to easily destroy Boxer.. I think Boxer has a good chance in pool C only really.. Ret will probably be the hardest for him there especially since MC said that his toughest opponent in NASL was actually Ret. Pool D is catastrophic for whatever Korean goes in there, SeleCT and KiWi are favourites in D, tbqh after the GSTL Moonan is a free match, and Machine could be tough depends if he takes IdrA's advice to the T or not. Pool A looks fairly one sided for Protoss, so hopefully no more P's in A because that'd make 3 P's which means.. that's right.. A ton of Fail v Fail.

Predictions for top 2 of the current list:

A: Nani, HuK
B: IdrA, Sheth
C: Ret
D: KiWi, SeleCT

I don't think Drewbie Sockeh or Slush have what it takes, but Sockeh might suprise us.

Actually, I'd live to see a Zerg in Pool D. I really hope they send DRG, Clide or Sage. Especially last nights showing that Sage.. is no doubt good, and just needs to step up his micro. July and Zenio might be good options too.. All we can do is speculate

You do know it was Socke himself who spelled it that way when he registered on MLG?

Happy to see HuK play again, I wish tyler was in this but oh well

interesting choice by TL to send huk but not jinro - probably the right one, I guess.

Interesting brackets, I wonder if they'll be the same at the actual event (depends on everyone showing up or not showing up). While I think it's a bit weird that MMA gets a lower seed through the program than he would through his own ticket, I understand it's done to make it simple and to not leave holes.
