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.

He didn't like playing at Columbus.
He's heading to Korea same time as Naniwa, so if Nani can come, Thorzain could as well.

He's being sent back to Anaheim. Will the top 16 change?
He'll take up a GSL spot so his trip is paid for instead of SlayerS having to front the money.

TLO is still injured, no? Tyler is next in line to move up, though. :p

groups are determined by a point system it just happened to end up that way, not mlgs fault....

I didn't blame MLG, I just think its a damned shame!! - However, TLO won't be ready probably, so it's not _that_ bad really
Looks like MMA, Losira, MC, Moon and Thorzain weren't seeded into the top 16. Inviting MMA again seems pretty dumb considering he was already third seed. MLG is paying him to fly over again but wont give him his seed? I hope we get some clarification from MLG so this sounds a little less stupid.
The koreans didn't attend MLG as actual players they where invited into the event and don't get seed points at all.
The top korean gets re invited to the next event thats why MMA is returning Boxer is the second invite and we don't know on the other 2.

He said multiple times he disliked how the tournament was run (very few breaks between matches, unsure when your next match will be so you can't really leave the venue) given how small the prize pool is. I'm sure he'll come back for like, Providence for the 50,000 but for the circuit events, will be doubtful
They need to fix the nationals and not make it an open tournament.
Looks like thorZain missed the cut for pool play by 30 points if I understand the ranking correctly?
That sucks.
Edit: I shoulda read above... damn.
Still, certainly excited for this... Group A Fighting!!! (Especially Huk... and TLO... and oh god I just don't know who to cheer for here, this is a catastrophe! I hope they all make top 4 lol).

Please provide a source on that. I find it hard to believe they don't get seed points, because they get seed points.

Do you have an MLG source for that?
MLG's own site shows their ranking points. Looks like Losira and MC declining their invitation to me.
I like MLG so I won't even entertain the thought of them posting the lineup without asking the Korean returners first.
