LOLOLOLO incontrol beat one guy and got 130 points while demuslim fought trough the open bracket and got 6. WBC got trough the open bracket and got some win at the losers bracket and got only 140. So we only need about 100 MLGs for wbc to get to the pools.
Well put... they definitely need to change the system.

finally some decent race distribution!

Yea, so pathetic. Anyone going 0-5 in pool play doesn't deserve shit, they should be eliminated from the tournament right there instead of being allowed to continue to championship lower bracket. You lose 2 sets in open bracket and you're out of the tournament but just cause you did good in one tournament months ago with no koreans you get a free pass to pool play for 2-3 tournaments after that, losing 6 out of 7 sets and still getting decent points and keeping your spot in pool play so you can get more free points.
Not to mention Machine, how the hell is he still in pools, he never does anything.

I can see why IMMVP declined.
$5000 is a disgrace of a prize for such a strong field.

Looks like group A is gonna be absolutely sick. I gotta say, though, that it's an absolute travesty that players like Incontrol and Machine are still in pool play. Nothing against them personally, of course... They just don't deserve it after having very mediocre performances for the last two MLGs.
MLG really needs to change its format.

Hey hey, let's not be disrespectful of player's accomplishments. I don't see you being Idra's roommate!

iNcontroL is going to drop out of the pool if he goes 0-5 again right? Given his pool, it's highly likely he's going down 0-5.
you can go 0-5 in your group and still win the tourny. groups just determine where you are placed in the championship bracket

Huk won DH with a comparable pool of Korean players, I don't think it's too big of a stretch to see one of Huk/Naniwa/Ret in the top 3 at this MLG. Did you see the last MLG? The only amazing player at this one is DRG. Without other incredible TvZ koreans there i see him getting farther than before. This should be easier as a whole because no offense to the invites but Tester and Coca arent amazing. Nada's done good in the past but is no MVP/MMA
Umm... did you really just say the only amazing player is DRG? Did you really? DRG just lost in the second round of code a to some no name protoss in straight up games- DRG is way overrated IMO. We have Bomber, Coca and Nada coming- all of which are extremely solid players- especially Bomber.

OMG they finally decided to send a protoss go Tester <3 Hope he does well!

Wow this is getting FLOODED with koreans soon we wont even have foriegners in our events... I'm sorry but why do we have to give all our money to koreans? Because foreigners don't practice enough. It's their fault if their skill level is not up to par with the Koreans. If they want to become better they have to stop being lazy and practice 8-12 hours a day. To win money you have to be one of the best. aka broodwar sweatshop hours is what people are going to demand.
Wow, what's with this guy? It's like an Idra doppelganger.

Yet he destroyed the foreigners that this conversation was about? I agree Bomber is good. Cocas good too but nothing special imo and im pretty sure Nada hasn't done that well in Korea recently?
In addition he's also done incredibly well in GSTL and hes like 17-4 out of his last matches, that must've changed with the new match against JYP though, i havent seen it yet

Incontrol will never drop he just gets so many points just for getting his seed to the groups.

wow Liquid guys in pretty tough groups. T.T Huk and maybe one of the TL zergs will make it...

Bomber vs Machine
Battle of the titans, i cant wait!

Machine will be in the open bracket after this one I fear

To everyone sayiing going 0-5 in your group should get your eliminated
the people in the pools are spouse to be the BEST, and over time they will the best, but its a young game and there havent been enough seasons to cement the best players in the pool (gsl had horrible players in code S for a while)
The thorey is even if you go 0-5 you lost to 5 players who are "better" then everyone in the championship bracket
lets say there are only 4 korean LEVEL players at the event and they were all seeded in to Pool A. Does the loser of the pool of death deserve to be eliminated?
PS: do you guys think korens will stop paying their own way once they get CODE S? i feel like they are just using MLG to get into CODE S

well Tyler got knocked out, and DRG/Rain game to ONE even and they are in the Pools. meaning Incontrol is at least 2 spots down

Tester is pretty good too. Not insanely good but hes not bad. Coca is good too. I love his banelings.
I dont think koreans just use MLG for code S. MLG is a great tournament. The prize pool is just a bit too low but the atmosphere is amazing.
