MVP already has pocket change! He doesn't need to go to MLG to fetch more. He tried this foreign thing once and it was way too easy! So he decided to stay in Korea and not let his skill decline by playing inferior players like MC did lately...

Does anyone know why MMA isnt coming?


He's still in GSL, same with Mvp they're playing at the same time as MLG is and they have good chances at winning GSL + really tough opponents. Polt for MMA and Nestea for Mvp so, can't blame them for not giving an rat's ass for some 5k dollars on the other side of the world.

Does MVP have enough seed points to be seeded into Providence, is that why he doesn't bother coming back for a chance at $5000 and instead is focusing on Code S?


His next opponent is Nestea....yeah leaving and not practicing....sounds good to me :\

MVP not gonna defend his title? Well, NADA!! Pool D looks very nice!
With an average game length of 7m36s over his 6 games in GSL3, this is a no-brainer. BitByBit pulls more SCVs than yo momma at a club on Mar Sara. ♞

The koreans this time are somewhat weaker than the previous occasions so this is the best chance foreigners will have to beat them - bomber himslef has said that tvz is not his strong matchup so idra has a good chance of beating him and taking rank 1 in that group. Also what happened to MVP i thought they said that the winner is always invited back??

MVP declined his invite. We wish him the best of luck in #GSL Code S and hope to see him soon at #MLG. @draxtar86


Can someone update the OP with this?

So if I'm reading this right a foreigner pretty much just has to finish above DRG to get the code-s spot??


Pretty Much or another Korean that isn't in Code S(Liquid Hero). Every other Korean will already be in Code S assuming Tester doesn't play in the up/down matches and Rain is banned from GSL for 1 year.


Rain can play in the next GSL

Rain does NOT want to play in the GSL... thats why he LEFT- he lives in New York now and studies at some Ivy league school like a boss. So obviously even if rain gets the code S spot- he will refuse it- stop being retarded people.

I wouldn't say this group of Koreans is weaker. They don't have as strong a heavy hitter, but these players are more consistently good.

I guess MVP is too busy winning GSL to come to Raleigh.

and wooohoooo DRG again! Is complexity funding him for this?

great player selection in my opinion.

Open bracket apparently is run so it is pretty hard to get adequate toilet and refreshment breaks, problems with getting food because you have to be on standby, and just generally really bad playing conditions. That's the impression I've got from reading a few blogs about it.

I think he has overreacted to one bad experience and it's a shame.

Yeah. He went through the open bracket in Dallas, which was probably the worst event, especcially for those in the open bracket.

The problem is that by not going to Anaheim he lost his seed, so now he has to go through the open bracket if he decides to go again, and with the open bracket getting harder each event I can't see him going through it again this season if he turned down a seeded place already.

Or it could be Mousesports. It seems odd that Morrow hasn't come since Dallas either, but maybe they both just didn't enjoy it.


There's plenty of weekly cups and tournaments in Europe to play in if they want to play tournaments. It almost seems wasteful to spend thousands of dollars to fly over to America for MLG. Gamescom is next week so maybe they don't want to play in a tournament every weekend.

I mean it's very expensive and a huge hassle to try to make it through the Open Bracket with all that discomfort for what is at the end of the day scant chance for reward in terms of seeding points, prize money, so it's quite an understandable position to at least weigh the pros and cons of returning from Europe for the Open Bracket.

Heh, these Koreans don't look as scary. I'm looking for DRG to take this one as no one seems to be spectacular this time around -.-

Huk should take his group, IdrA has it easy but for Bomber -.-

So MMA was invited even though he would've come with his own (sponsor's) funds, hence occupied one invitational spot needlessly, but this time MVP is not invited because he comes on his own funds and thus does not occupy a slot? Can anybody explain that to me??
And machine>rain make me sad. Too bad the rules say so, why not decide by past finishing like "pro"-player if tie between online points??

Nevertheless definitely looking forward to this event, but I hope somebody can answer.
