what the hell are you talking about, they're just making the pools according to previous results, the points people gain from previous MLGs...

So DeMusliM got a really high ranking for somebody in the open bracket last MLG. Why the fuck isn't he in the pool?

Another korean top 6 is pretty much guaranteed considering these! I can really just see Idra sneaking in if he doesn't go on tilt and had the time to figure out how to beat Boxer! Or maybe Ret if he's on fire... but groups B and D are going to koreans, no questions asked.

lol Machine is fucking unbreakable.

Super easy group for Idra. EG clearly paying off MLG to guarantee he at least gets a Code A invite =p

Bomber and Puma in the same group is awesome...and absurd.

HongUn should be able to handle his draw fine (also Hongun!)

And then Group D is off the charts sick. omg

Pool D is insane. Also pretty crazy how many koreans are in pool play this tourney.

Because he is not in the top 16 of players attending Orlando.

The seeds are what decides the pools. The pools have been populated the same way since we started the LXP.


No there's a mistake with the 8th and 9th seeds being the wrong way round in the pools.


It's because Boxer/Bomber/Hongun/July are seeded into pools separately because they are part of the Exchange Program.

still don't get it; is there a flaw in the seeding or whats the hidden math behind this:

Pool A: Seed 1, 9, 10, 15, 18
Pool B: Seed 2, 7, 8, 11, 17
Pool C: Seed 3, 6, 12, 16, 20
Pool D: Seed 4, 5, 13, 14, 19

why would you seed:

A: 1, 8, 9, 16, 17
B: 2, 7, 10, 15, 18
C: 3, 6, 11, 14, 19
D: 4, 5, 12, 13, 20

like they did for Halo: Reach, etc.?


You probably have to consider that the Exchange players are not seeded the same way because they want to put them in each group.


Thats likely, thx for clarification. So Bomber and Boxer were seeded to bottom of group B and A, but moved up, because they already had points? Lucky for TL and bad luck for iNcontroL ...


Even if thats the reasoning behind it it seems a very odd system. If a player is being invited they shouldnt really have their rank points considered at all because its a completely different means of entry. And its obvious been unfair to the other players who have had their groups shuffled around to accomodate

Edit: Thats actually what theyve done and its perfect, makes total sense. I got my "Who is an invite" mixed up ,too many pesky koreans

B and D are stacked. A looks the weakest, I think Idra can win that.

Incontroll is so boned. So boned. Idk... maybe he said one too many sharp things to sundance.

Puma I think he can take but it'll be tough.
Bomber...
Sheth mnn maybe?
Kiwi Maybe?
I mean this in the best way, but Incontrol is the only one in the group who hasn't won a major tournament. Qualifies for Darkhorse treatment?

Kinda sad no one could spare a Toss for Idra.

Group D well if only we could trade socke for rain we'd have a nice diverse groupadoom.

Might be a sick event. Here's to hoping either a DRG/July madrun or the patch coming out before the event to spare us the usual composition in the top 3.

MLG needs to be more flexible, and willing to fix their problems mid-season. I don't see any downside to eliminating and revamping the current point system.

I doubt the players hurt by it would complain.



We would never announce a rule and qualification set and change it mid season. It would not be fair to those that competed at the beginning under those rules.

Next year we are revamping the seeds completely.

Wow I cant believe number of ignorant people who decide they should post in a MLG thread and criticize their system when they refuse to do their own research and actually learn about the system first.

Theyve had the same system practically this entire year. The seeding is based on points, its not random nor is it a popularity thing. Spend some time on liquidpedia or something and learn about how MLGs are ran before you make blind criticisms.
