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


They aren't considered. If you take out Boxer/Bomber from the rankings, then the seeds fall exactly into place like it's supposed to. They just sorted the groups by points after the fact.

everyone makes it out of a group

the higher you are just means you get farther in the winners bracket

Top of each group is automatically at LEAST top 6.

MC looks like he is gonna get his free ticket back to Code S, which is obviously good. Really want MC to win MLG, because players who win MLG often go on to do well in GSL (MMA reached final, MVP won GSL, Bomber is probably gonna do well too...).

1 person makes it out of each group to compete in the semi finals. The rest are moved to the lower bracket with the 2nd place person from the group only needing to play one best of 3 before they can play the loser of the semi finals.

I'm once again amazed by the amount of mediocre players in pool play.
I really hope they fix that next year.

No it's seeding everyone makes it out but first gets automatic high placing.

Well, MMA got knocked out of Code A immediately after winning MLG, and MC has already proven he is a top player.

Definitely going to be a good time! It's only going to be a matter of time until all the top 20 are koreans :D

Ouch shit ton of koreans in the pools and hardly any of the top foreigners are coming. Going to be the most korean dominated MLG yet. But there is still some good news.....

God I hope a bunch of foreigners beat HongUn, can't stand the way that guy plays. It's just so dumb, and insanely risky.

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.

Yes, that's why you need to be more flexible. I understand that you view the entire circuit as a season, and that each junction in it should be 100% equal, but that's not how anyone else views it and it holds your product back. We get an inferior product (worse pool play) because of it.

You have a bad point system. You have a relatively small prize pool. It's a new event, not game 5 of a 5 game season. You should make the jump and correct those shortcomings. No one from game/events 1-4 will seriously complain about improvements being made mid-season.

It's the same kind of rigidity NASL showed last season when they used the wrong map, and forced everyone to play out a bad map for 2 weeks. Adherence to rules and regulations should only go so far. As an admin, it's your call to make if you want to adjust. If you're uncomfortable with it, you could even ask every pool participant if they would mind. I guarantee you'll get 100% yes, for reforming the system mid-season.

lol Incontrol is gonna go 0-10 in pool play again. I can not wait to watch Group D action. That is one ultra sick group.
