LOL. No offense to incontrol but why is incontrol in the pool play and hero in the open bracket? It must be based on points and not on previous tournament standing? I am actually happy to see incontrol in the pool play though. I want to see him be successful | ||

I'm still surprised he's in pool play. He hasn't done well in any tournaments in the last 6 months. Same to machine. | ||

I can easily name 2 others in Pool Play that don't belong there but that's just how the points system works. Good thing they're changing it up next year. | ||

Last MLG was Hero's first and he is 40 points behind Drewbie, the player in groups with the least amount of points). | ||

His group is much harder, but he'll probably at least not bomb out after constantly doing failed void ray all-ins. Hey now, that's not fair. They'll be DT's thrown into the mix in a couple of series too. And it's not Socke's fault that he's playing much better. I'm sure he'd love to trade groups with iNcontroL if he could. That group D is... :|. It's a dog eat dog world, time to step up Mr iNcontroL. You'll never have a better chance to prove people wrong. I'm not really excited for this MLG at all compared to past ones. Not many good foreigners compared to the past ones. Koreans will dominate even more. The system makes me sad. I think i'm going to have to sit this one out until the next one or until it gets fixed. | ||

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. I like this idea! World Cup style is awesome and yeah no extended series. Semi-final and final make it Bo5. Pool A I hope Idra wins it so he is guaranteed in top 6, he can definitely take on Boxer but I think its 50/50. Just practice 24/7 against Puma and I don't see him losing to the Emperor. Well, even if it's a Korean top 8 there are embres of hope still w Dignitas training in Korea. Look fwd to how they do @ Providence. Pool B Don't see Bomber or Puma losing to anyone other than each other. Pool C Ret has a decent shot at this, go Liquid! Pool D I hope MC tops the Grp and goes on to get Code S come on!! | ||

Okey their is a a small, small chanse of foreigners doing good. Espically Idra which is in the by far easiest group, if he "only" can win against boxer he is a great spot for taking first place in that pool. The other "real" foreign hopes Kiwi, Ret, HuK + (Sheth/Socke?) are all going to need to put up their freaking A-game every game if they are going to make into top 6-8. Espically if you consider that players like MKP is coming from the open bracket. I try to be optimstic about foreigners but this time it look gloomier then ever for the foreign community. The fact that so many of the attending foreigners in the pools are not even like top 50 foreigners is still a joke though. Sometime I think this tournament is designed to make foreign community to look bad. I mean Haypro, Slush, TLO, Machine, inControl, Drewbie... Are u freaking kidding me?  Like when was the last time any of these players put up even a decent perfomance in a any semi large tournament. And to be honest I dont understand why all Koreans attend at these MLG:s, I can only assume that the code S-spot/the global attention is the main reasons. Cause people ask why the top Europeans dont attend, and to me it is only logical to be honest. To start with is the price pool is almost comically low, like the winner of shoutcraft invititional, which is 75% for fun weekend tournament get 3k, and the winner of MLG get 5k? To go to a tournament which is have hundreds of players and you have to through an open bracket and then you have to play against like 10+ top top Koreans in the end. Even if you are on freaking fire and you step back and look at it for a moment you have to realise that the chanse for winning that tournament from a pure statistical view is really low. You are going to need to win a lot of freaking hard matches so you better not have a bad 10min play cause it is going to cost u the tournament. And then it is the air plane ticket forward and back to europe, food and other stuff, I guess it would land around 1.5k? So we have a large investment to join and tournament which packed with fierce competion and if you actually amazingly manage to win you get like what, 3k+ if you withdraw the expenses. The more I think about the more weird it actually seems, I for sure wouldnt go if I where given those odds ^^ | ||
