What?

He's a lock for at least 2nd in his group, depending on which Korean he gets.

Wtf why is everyone writing about groups.. that aren't the groups, that are POOLS and out of these pools the groups are going the be generated. It's like a seeding. If those are the "groups" i would like to eat my sc2 cover.

Those pools are the groups. They are based on points from previous MLGs. However, nobody gets eliminated from the pool. However, the winner of the pool will go to the winners bracket semi finals. And all the other players will go to the losers bracket (the better you do in pool play, the higher round you will start in the losers bracket).

That is incorrect. Everyone is eligible for the Code S spot, no matter the nationality.

Only the 4 (not 3) Code A spots are reserved for non-Koreans.

Losira and MC declined to go to MLG Anaheim? They would have been seeded into chapionship pool play, which would have been very good for them. I'm very surprised that MC decided not to go. He's been going to a lot of international tournaments.

For 5k its hardly worth it , i mean a flight probably costs a 3rd of that plus hotels etc thats like half your money right there.

Im surprised so many people critisize code a and then not MLG , mlg is almost as bad for prize pools (the difference in the total prize pool of the 2 is only 2k, MLG is just alot more top heavy) but with korea its more about the experience you get a month all expenses paid and it only takes 5 days to know weather your in the round of 8 for the up and down matches or not then you can choose to stay and practice or go home. Honestly though for MLG its not like koreans are going to gain a bunch in terms of training experiences their team houses are much better for that, so the only thing going for MLG is the prize pool and if it hardly pays your expenses for first then it surely isnt worth it.

Obviously the same can be said for travelling on your own to try and qualify for code a, but at least you have a place to stay for free, and you will get training experience unmatched anywhere else in the world

Like alot of the players travelling to korea have said, "its a time investment in me as a player to get better"

How come MMA isn't seeded? Not sure exactly how many points are awarded per rank, but with only 2 MLG's this year, he should only be behind Naniwa?

MMA is seeded third (http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2011_MLG_Pro_Circuit/Rankings), behind Naniwa and Idra, though I have no idea what means going into Anaheim. Are koreans not allowed to enter MLG because of their seed, seeing as MMA is not seeded, but he's going as an GSL invite? Or is there something else to it?
