Finally get to see the matchup I was waiting for at Columbus: Idra v Bomber. Nani and Huk in the same pool again makes me sad. =\ Lol, poor Incontrol. DRG coming back is cool. Lets see how well he does this time. Nani/Huk for pool A, Idra/Bomber B, Tester/DRG C, and Kiwi/Nada for D. Not in 1st/2nd, cause I doubt Kiwi will beat Nada. | ||

Pool B is pretty easy. Bomber shouldn't sweat during a single game. Idra or Sjow for 2 but i'd give idra the edge just based on past MLG play. Pool C is a good grp. DRG and Tester are world class obviously and Slush is no push over. Pool D is the easiest grp. Anybody can win that grp with Nada having an obvious advantage. | ||

Lol... Naniwa is going to have a lifetime Code A status through MLG  as much as I like Naniwa, I do think this is a little unfair, I hope next season they allow Koreans to take 1 or 2 of the Code A spots and leave 1 or 2 for the top foreigner placements. | ||

I bet it's because if MVP wins his match vs. nestea wedensday, which is the last playday for koreans before they leave for MLG. It will be impossible for him to train up for the RO8 which is august 31. I also think this is the reason nestea is not coming. MLG folks has been tweeting about they would love for nestea to come, and I bet that for every event, an invite for nestea is ready if he wants to. But the schedule is not there. So no underlyeing story behind, just MVP wanting to win Code S more than MLG. | ||

He only 'kept' his seed because 7 people ranked HIGHER than him aren't attending. This doesn`t excuse the fact that they sill are higher seeded than players who have been performing better, which is a system flaw. I agree that MLG format makes no sense, specially the seeding for pool play. Incontrol and Machine are getting and incredible advantage from an average finish from an earlier, easier MLG event and than simply showing up for the remaining ones. Boxer not coming back makes me sad. That said... NaDa!!!! Should be a great event anyways, but their whole format needs to be rethought. | ||

I think DRG or Ret can take this entire thing. And probably naniwa by then. | ||

Wouldn't worry about that with MLG, considering it has the lowest payout of any significant tournament. $5,000 lol | ||

Naniwa: 7 - 1,29 - 1,43 Idra: 1,33 - 1,25 - 2,6 Slush: 2 - 1,63 - 0,69 Kiwikaki: 3,75 - 0,8 - 1 Ret: 1,43 - 1,57 - 1,22 Select: 1,6 - 0,46 - 0,54 Sjow: 1,17 - 1 - 1,1 Huk: 0,9 - * - 2,2 Incontrol: 0,78 - 0,64 - 0,27 Haypro: 0,64 - 1 - 0,58 TLO: 1,63 - 0,27 - 0,67 Moonan: 3,33 - 0,58 - 0,67 Machine: 0,5 - 0,55 - 0,42 -_- And now with MLG/GSL player transfer deals the numbers are only gonna get worse. Imo EVERYONE <1 average should be in the open bracket. Make starting pools smaller (only players with >1 average + Korean invites), and increase the max players that come from open bracket into pools to fill the pool of 20/24 players. Why is a "losing" player getting special treatment? If they played poker they would be broke (or playing lower limits), just saying. | ||
