Prize money seems a bit small when you take into account the popularity of it. They must make a gigantic profit from it.

Everyone talking about the prize pool need to remember to take into account the fact that the bigger importance of these events is in gaining rank points to seed well for Providence which has a significantly larger prize pool which is as follows:

1st $50,000
2nd $25,000
3rd $15,000
4th $10,500
5th $7500
6th $5250
7th $3750
8th $3000

Granted, I agree that it should be a little bit bigger for the the "smaller" events, maybe something like 10-15k for first place to put it in line with Dreamhack, Assembly, etc. However, you can't ignore the bigger picture entirely. And please everyone, don't start talking about fairness in regards to how rank points are awarded; it's been talked to death and Sundance has even tweeted that it will change in the future.

On the liquipedia Raleigh section, it says that the top 16 players as of right now are seeded into pool play. Does that mean MMA, Boxer, Losira, MC, etc. are seeded as well if they make their own accommodations to get to MLG, and not with the GSL exchange program? It's only fair, right?

Yeah, I believe it's confirmed that if they get over here by means other than the GSL exchange program, then they are seeded according to points they've already earned. It was speculated that this wasn't the case in the past (and I thought this was the case) but it was refuted by a tweet from someone at MLG. I think it was MLGLee, but someone else can correct me on that, if I'm wrong. At any rate, I'm sure about the actual content of it.

EDIT: I don't believe many players will do this since none did it for Anaheim, but SlayerS has shown they are willing to send people through the open so MMA and Boxer might go. MC also has the deal with SK which might pay for him to go. I don't think he will do much in the way of international events until his GSL results pick back up though. This is all pure speculation on my part, fyi.

On Thursday, August 25th from 6-9 PM ET, we will be doing spectator check-in at the Raleigh Convention Center outside of our event hall.

You'll be able to pick-up your spectator pass if you pre-ordered online, and likewise, if you are purchasing at the event, you'll be able to purchase your spectator pass at this time as well.

Hope to see the seeded Slayers guys and MC returning on their own funds (or that of their sponsors)! So MvP and Bomber are already confirmed, right? It would be great if the other two players would be a zerg and a protoss. Maybe as zerg... dare I say it... IMNesTea?

I'm hoping for them to invite 2 relatively outstanding players that aren't already in the GSL system that might stand a chance of winning the entire thing and head straight into Code S. That would be such an awesome reward!

Ideally Leenock, because I can't bear to see him fail in the up/downs again

too bad the current policy is to not reinvite past MLG-GOM partnership players unless they won the previous MLG

although MVP is still in GSL so he might not end up attending MLG Raleigh

Does anyone know who will be casting SC2 for this event? On Inside the Game, DJ Wheat stated that he wouldn't be able to come due to PAX, so that would leave maybe Day[9] and ??? Not sure if Husky could come out for it, and Mr. Bitter is in Europe... sooooo......

Just curious.

They will never have my financial support again.

Following lengthy discussion it's apparent they only care about hard $ and nothing about customers.

Seems like its possible Tastosis will be coming out (I'll cross my fingers ), and Husky co-casting with Day9 seems like a possibility, or maybe JP will step up and do more casting.

Can you perhaps explain why you feel that MLG does not care about the customers? I feel we do everything in our power to ensure that the customers have a good experience when either watching from their homes, or actually attending the events in person, after all, ensuring that our customers are happy is our primary goal. The only way to better our Customer Service is to hear from our customers, so please feel free to PM me with your criticisms or opinions so we can assist you. If you just go on the forums to bash MLG, without providing any explanation, there isn't really anything we can do about it.

Thanks!

Not yet. The SC2 Pools should be released soon, and the full player list will not be released until closer to the end of registration which is Monday, August 22nd at 11:59 PM ET.

What if it's your responses on the MLG support forum that have exacerbated the issue?
