EPTSC2 MLG groups for Anaheim are out! - Page 14
| Forum Index > SC2 General |
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. | ||

EDIT: I guess it's a bit fair in a sense... since they were given free invites to the Champs bracket. You didn't read the whole thread. Losira/MC would be placed in pool play but they would have to pay for their travel/hotel expenses b/c they aren't considered one of the 4 GSL invites for MLG Anaheim. They declined on going to MLG. These pool groups are permanent so if later Losira/MC changes their mind and decide to go, they would be placed in the open bracket. MMA is attending as a GSL invite so his travel expenses are paid for by MLG. If MMA decided to attend MLG on his own as the #3 seed in points then he would have to pay for his trip. MLG invited MMA b/c they thought it was fair to allow him to defend his title. But MLG wants to invite different korean players each time. | ||

- So many good players! That said, TLO and Haypro aren't on the same level as the other guys right now so it should really come down to the Huk/Nani/Korean triangle. Group B is good: - Should be between Idra + Korean. Sjow has fallen off a bit lately it seems so I don't see him being a threat (+ his vZ is bad), and while Sheth is good I don't think he'll beat Idra in a ZvZ, and wouldn't favour him vs the KR invite either. Group C will be interesting: - 3 players I'd consider very good but not great in here, I expect #1 to be between the KR seed and Ret, but Socke's had a bit of a resurgence lately. Should be a tough fight for the top 3, with Slush looking to sneak in there as well. Group D is meh: - Kiwi and SeleCT are both good, but as a top 2 for a group they feel a bit week. Moonan can play great (as seen in his MLG Dallas run and recent NASL qualies), but he's also prone to getting stomped (as seen last MLG and yesterdays GSTL). Machine has been a non-factor in forever. This should be the most favourable group for a korean to be seeded into. The way Boxer plays into things will be interesting, since he's likely to be the weakest invite and while he's still really good I think he'll tend to be more beatable. | ||

 I hope not to see top3 koreans this time.. Would also be really nice if KiWiKaKi managed to win finish on high position. I really like his playstyle. | ||

MC, LosirA and Moon would've had enough points to be seeded in pool play, but they all declined (this time they had to pay for the trip themselves). If July comes, he must go through the open bracket once again, he's only 24th in ranking. | ||

Will there be one Korean for each group every MLG now? | ||

There could be more in a group though if non-invited koreans, who have enough points for pool play, come over on their own expenses. | ||
