Is it me or aside from Korean invites, this pool never changes.
The only guy I miss from Columbus is Gretorp.

Well that's the MLG system for you, people who actually deserve to be in there for going through the Open bracket couple of times, just don't get in. Oh well after a couple of MLGs these 0-5 jobbers should be out of the pool.

Luckily, MLG is overhauling their entire points system next season, so hopefully we'll get improved pools next year.

Anyways, I'm VERY interested to see NaDa finally come stateside. His play is so solid, and his body is so alluring. Will the screams of fangirls fill the hall? Or will the screams of the fanboys drown them out. Always great to have these BW legends at these events.


So is there a possibility that MLG will expand the amount of players in the group stages for next year, or will it be a complete different format that Tyler will have to figure out again?

Great groups. Pool A&C group deaths imo!

Yep, and a bunch of players went 0-5 in the last mlg's and are still in pool play.

Not that i like cruncher one bit, but the system is retarded.


-.- To be fair, Cruncher only beat one person in pool play, but yes the pool is really beneficial for those already in it. But its really really hard to remove them fairly in a way that makes sense with the ranking points etc.. And it does provide a measure of protection, so no 6 pooling troll takes out DRG or Huk
Remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

Couple of others are knocked out too: I can think of Tyler and Drewbie.

Sigh, so much TvZ for Bomber

Good group for Ret, he'll beat Nada np np.

Super pumped to see Coca coming, couldn't care less about Tester though =p

Awesome to see DRG making the trip over again, I'd kind of hoped Boxer would too but oh well =(

Can't believe Machine is still hanging around in pool play lol

Over/under on total wins by EG players in group play?
Less money for casters, more money for players.

Pool A is insane, with Nani grinding it in Korea it will basically be 4 Koreans and Incontrol. -_-

Ret can definitely top his group if he brings his beast mode to Raleigh.

Idra with the easiest group again. Standard.

Idra has had a lot of hard groups since SC 2 even had tourneys. Don't know about your standard comment when it's not even accurate. Plus being with bomber and haypro is easy?

Unfortunately, there don't seem to be much specific information about the point system change other than some Tweets from Sundance promising that he'll change the system for the 2012 season.

No offense to Machine and Incontrol... but how are they still in pool play? So many deserving players. How many times do they have to lose before they are out.........

This system really needs to be revised.

The rest of his group will depend on how well prepared Nada comes.



Ret probably can't beat Nada, pretty sure Nada is better then Rain. (who ret lost to)

Its just retarded that CrunCher makes it trough the open bracket twice but he wont get to the groups , while incontrol and machine just keep going 0-5 and still they can keep their seeds.
Holy check.

4.5

(Idra will get his 4 wins with a loss to Bomber most likely... will anyone else from EG even get one?)

I think everyone thinks the same tbh, and MLG agrees too. They are going to change the points system for future MLGs I believe.
