I mean the score just transfers over to the playoffs from the group stage,so if player A and player B were 2-0 in group,their match will start from 2-0 if they stumble upon each other in later stages. So will it? You mean MLG's patented, ground-breaking, innovative Extended Series™? Yeah probably will. If Halo does it, then it's probably ok. | ||

It's likely that, heading into Anaheim, Tyler will be the top-seeded Open Bracket player. If he can make an undefeated run through the Open, he'll be placed into the same pool as DongRaeGu and his other teammates. Just thought I'd stack a little bit more hype on here. You can think the MLG Commissioner Anakin for pointing that one out. Full Open Bracket Roster should be released shortly. We're just waiting on confirmation from a few final players. There are several big names that no one is talking about who will be attending and playing through the Open Bracket. Hey Kyle, If Liquipedia is right http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2011_MLG_Pro_Circuit/Rankings then MMA would actually be the #3 seed, right? Is there any particular reason why he was given a generic "invite" seed as opposed to the #3 seed that he earned from MLG Columbus? I am just wondering what the official word is, as that would otherwise change the groups quite a bit. cheers! | ||

MMA is not considered the #3 seed b/c he is attending as a GSL invite. If he took the #3 seed, then he would have to pay for his flight/hotel. MLG only pays for invites (invites are considered the last 4 seeds in pool play). If MMA didn't get an invite, he might not even show up to the tournament (like MC and Losira declined, even though they could have been in the pool). MLG gave MMA the invite b/c the winner deserves to defend his title. Also note that the pools are permanent. If for some reason MC, Losira, Thorzain, etc... change their minds and attend MLG Anaheim, they will not be given their spot in the pool. They would have to play in the open bracket. | ||

You can see just from his playstyle and decision making that he is ahead of most other Zergs. You don't need results when you just play better on paper. Not to mention LG.. But it's like claiming you can't tell if Koreans are really better than Foreigners because they haven't played each other enough... just look at the playstyle. It's pretty clear. | ||

Sorry Nighthawks, I was not sure whether that was your speculation, or if that was based off of official word, I meant no disrespect. Too often people talk loudly about things they don't know, you understand. Thanks for the confirmation. Looking forward to Anaheim! | ||
