You know Haypro earnt his way in there via the open bracket initially right?

Where are all the koreans???
Are they screwing over MLG too now?

what i would do for a nada stream... and i think he has a good shot at taking this with the koreans that are joining him and boxer's performance at mlg

since rain cant play in the gsl for a while ( i think thats right) and DRG is the only other korean player in group play, does that mean DRG only has to place above any koreans that make it through the open bracket to earn his spot in code S? Code S is available only for the winner of the competition. Code A is available for the best non-koreans. but mma didnt win the last mlg and got a code s spot so... That was because IMMVP(the winner) currently has a spot in Code S, hence the spot going to MMA I am pretty sure MMA got his code S spot from MLG Columbus, not MLG Anaheim because the group selection was the same day that MLG was finishing so they had no way of knowing MMA would finish second, meaning Boxer will get a code S spot because he finished 3rd. Also, FUCK YES NADA!!!!
you're pretty wrong then

Yea hopefully they'll change how it works next year.. You basically get handed a top 25 or something finish just by being seeded into pool play based on tourney results months ago and the fact that you keep getting points even when you go 1-6 for the tournament like inc...

You might be interested in reading this. The whole thread really, and the recent vVv Loser's Bracket Podcast with Sundance on it. Lots of information on next season's overhaul of the MLG season structure.

Wow iNcontroL is gonna get smashed hard during pool play :E As is any other foreign player that is not one of the following: Ret, Huk or Naniwa. Idra also has a good chance. Idk, didn't look all that amazing at Anaheim. Got manhandled by Boxer for example.
A lot of people were man handled by Boxer >.>, If you don't remember, he was 3rd place, and had blueflame upgrades.

Only one Teamkill situation for TL, but if Tyler goes through the Open again, there might be another one. Pool A and B are probably the hardest. I think you can tell at least two clear favourites for every group though.
Go IdrA! there's only two Korean Terran so far! ;D

Don't forget about Hero and Jinro  .

Kiwikaki seems to have a somewhat easy group besides Nada. And oh dear incontrol will be stomped so hard.
|
MMA, Boxer etc aren't invited again so if they came the would have to pay for themselves.
|
Looks good! A lot of match ups to look forward to! Ret has really been impressive lately. I am no expert but it really seems like he has improved his game in a big bad way. I'm curious to see how he performs. I'd bet that iNcontrol has had some time to practice and if he has he may surprise some people. Idra is Idra and could win anything anytime anywhere. Great lineup!

I think MMA should go for open bracket if Polt beats him again I feel like its not an MLG without MMA. These batches of Koreans for this MLG seem weaker than the past ones I don't really foresee a top 3 all Korean MLG this time well maybe DRG will be in top 3 at least. They should send GuineaPig and JYP next time

MMA has the #2 seed after Naniwa so there would be no reason for him to go into the open bracket.
I really think MMA and MVP should go and grab their free money.

don't get me wrong but why do you have to hire Husky to cast along side Day9?
Husky does a great job entertaining the bronze-gold players in his "instructional" vods (though the music videos entertain us all!) but he is not suited for this job. He lacks the level of understanding that is required, by alot. Same goes with DjWheat. Great guys but not suited for the job.
It's a shame really, I have to watch the blue stream muted.

Yet another uneducated rant about a decent caster.
Look, if you feel like you are the top notch of starcraft 2 players and casters then go cast yourself, or at least bring solid arguments, but without any prove(and you guys NEVER brought any) Husky will always stay a decent caster. He is way better than many others and you guys are just completely RANDOMLY hating on him.
Because thats what cool master league players do, right?
The hipser starcraft 2 player has to
- hate koreans
- hate husky
- hate attacking before 15 minutes and calling the player all ining scrub if he does.
@Topic:
I don't like that there are so few koreans. But thats how the system works, I guess. At least some guys will be worth watching; I hope MLG will keep inviting more koreans! :3

Looking forward to seeing Tyler and HerO making it to the Pools, and hopefully Jinro as well Good luck to everyone competing!
