The disbalanced pools this time and the general problems of MLGs seeding/ranking system are two completely different things. The groups are random. MLG points don't seed the groups.

That's the dictionary definition of intransparent. Some people may ask why HongUn gets the group he got and Boxer gets the group he got...and there's also the fact Boxer is friends with the MLG brass. It raises red flags. Imagine the NBA draft if the commissioner went behind a curtain by himself then emerged and told everyone who got the #1 pick. I think a few people would take issue with that kind of system.
They are seeded off rank points. The Koreans are seeded off GSL rank. Hongun's GSL Rank >>>> Boxer's GSL rank

Wow, great group for Ret. I think he's finally going to show results worthy of his skill this mlg.

Except they seed the groups? Many people dislike MLG's system, but this is the first time I have seen someone claim that they aren't seeded at all. That is what the MLG rank points are for.

poor poor iNontrol. That is one hell of a group.

Also, whom did Incontrol piss off. Another terrifying group.

Didn't know they used GSL points for the Koreans. I thought they placed them arbitrarily/randomly. Okay, fair enough. That doesn't make for the best groups (as evidenced here) but at least it is fair and not improper. I was wrong.

Stephano is going into open bracket right?
|
Looking it at the ranking its a shame hero barley missed out on pool play 
or If tyler would have beaten haypro and placed in 21st like he did he would have snuck into pools instead of drewbie
ooo well ... fighting in the open bracket ^_^
Top 4 Open Bracket Players:
Hero
Tyler
Fenix (is Fenix going?)
CrunCher
If Fenix doesn't show then "Devil Terran" DeMusliM is the 4th ranked open bracket player :D

Super Super excited for this got flights/hotel room booked; spectator pass bought. Gonna be repping the AK in Orlando next month. 
EG fighting!
foreigners fighting!
|
How is this... I don't even know.. How could group D be real.. that's like the semi finals or top 5 candidates right there! That is batshit insane
Group B is very strong too, I feel A is going to be EZPZ for boxer. All depends on what happens with the Open players who make it into pool play I guess.
|
Ret won't win his group. People just need to realize if they attack before 10 minutes, they win.
|
PuMa sure bet for code s?
|
I swear the groups get better with every MLG. Lets just hope the games are good! Pool D looks amazing and I think that Ret might surprise a few people in this tournament.
|
I love how it seems that every mlg boxer attends, he's placed in a pool with Idra. Great storyline hahaha
