If he wants to prove he deserves his seed, he'll perform well in it. If not then well, it'll be a 3rd consecutive 0-5 in a row and he'll still be seeded in the top 16 lol. Gotta love the MLG system haha. | ||

It's good to see such a strong showing by the Koreans too, so we should end up with some really good games to watch :D HongUn FIGHTING!!! MLG's system gets so much shit. Its why they announced they are changing it next season. I think MLG's system is the most criticized out of any major tournament. Even incontrol said its broken. | ||

iNcontroL seems to get shafted time and time again, too, but that might be because he isn't in a form that puts him into the top20 in the first place. Now maybe he's gotten back to where he was at Broodwar by managing to reap the benefits of the EG house to the full extent. That's certainly something I like to & am excited to see. IdrA's group on the other hand looks like a cakewalk, haha. There's no challenge at all if he's put the presence of DeMusliM to good use, to prepare to return the favor to Boxer after he had to admit defeat the last time they played against each other. The encroaching number of Koreans and their unequal distribution among the groups is threatening to make MLG less appealing to me than it used to. But changes to the points system were mentioned and the players in pool play are rather variant, so we'll see how it turns out. | ||

Hate us for bad seeding, fine. You would hate us more if we made changes at will. This has been a standing policy since 2003. Next year will be the first time in MLG history that a calendar year will be treated as multiple seasons. Unfortunately this year, 2011, is not afforded that luxury. Consistancy is a good thing. It's not MLG's fault that the players don't show up to every tournament. That being said, i think the qualification system would solve a lot of problems including players spending a ton of money in order to travel to compete in the open bracket. That said, I think you should expand the brackets to 8 groups of 4 with top 2 advancing similar to the world cup style. No extended series rule. In the world cup, if you win against a team 2-0 in the pool play, you don't start 2 goals ahead in the playoffs. Also, the points system should be a little less top-heavy. Consistancy is more important than getting #1 all the time. | ||

Gotta love the MLG system haha. Well, Socke has recently won 2 SCI's in a row, and usually produces good games. His group is much harder, but he'll probably at least not bomb out after constantly doing failed void ray all-ins. | ||

I think MLG's system is the most criticized out of any major tournament. Even incontrol said its broken. I think GSL should get more criticism, but people keep saying "it's just like OSL" and thus that means it's ok? But yeah, I actually like the general concept of MLG's system, but I do think it needs a little more shake up to keep the pool players relevant as top players. On that note: "they announced they are changing it next season" <--- did they announce what they would change, or just that they are changing it? | ||
