I would imagine a top 3 of Bomber/DRG/PuMa in no particular order (Bomber is the clear favorite though). July could be 4th or higher if he manages to get a good bracket | ||

If anyone can reply with a few pointers, what to bring, whether or not it's worth competing as a Platinum player, that would be great. Thanks TL community!!! Well you are definitely not going to win the tournament as a platinum player. But if you were to get lucky and have good cheese you get make it a few rounds in the open bracket. Although, I thought the competitor passes were sold out? | ||

I also don't know what the deal with the Korean invites are however I do know that these are definitely true: Incontrol should be in Idra's group, Sheth has been moved, and the other Korean invites have been moved. I don't really want to start a conspiracy because I don't really think it matters that much, but if it was not 'altered' there would have been a lot of team kills for EG. There is no conspiracy, the graphics in the OP are just misleading. Bomber and BoxeR aren't seeded by their MLG Points, as invitees they are seeded separately by their GSL-Points, with the highest ranking player to group D, and the lowest ranking player going to group A. So basicly Bomber isn't seed MLG 7 but seed GSL 3. | ||

Maybe they want to *gasp*, give the foreigners a chance at getting Code S. I love how you act like there aren't foreigners in the tournament though. | ||

This doesn't quite make sense to me; if the Code S players weren't invited then it would be even easier for Boxer to regain Code S (though I think they said that they don't let Korean players get the ride to Code S but instead give it to the highest foreigner?) Now if they did invite all Code S players, then Boxer would have to work his way up through them to get to Code S. btw i love how they keep inviting Boxer, they really want him to get back to Code S eh  jkjkbut please boxer don't surprise us and somehow do bad but seeing as you're the most experienced programer, we probably don't have to worry about that  please rape idra super hard again xD haha | ||

Bomber/DRG/July can all nab top 3 but Boxer would still get the Code S spot if he was ranked 4th. The biggest contenders for this MLG's Code S spot other than Boxer would arguably be MC/PuMa. | ||

No, Code S MUST go to one in the top 3, or NONE AT ALL. | ||

But assuming if all the top 3 spots in Orlando are taken up by Code S players, how will this affect the up/down groups for the next GSL? EDIT: Hm, this link (http://www.gomtv.net/2011gslsponsors3/news/6529) says otherwise: Code S status will be awarded to the highest placing player, regardless of country of origin, who doesn't already have Code S status. | ||
