Honestly it's a poor move from MLG...

Seems like 1st seed (Idra) can get a pool that highly favors him, no protoss ? when there's 3 in group D ? only 1 korean ? when all but one of group D are "koreans" ?

c'mon don't tell me you think this is good, we could have had 2-3 koreans per pool and at least one of each race... seed system is broken imho, previous MLG were total awesomeness but this one doesnt get me excited at all....

Holy crap, I looked at A and was like "yeah that's a really really tough one", then looked at B and was like, "shit thats group of death", then saw C as was like "Who the heck is gonna win that one?". Then saw D and was like"SHIT, thats mega-ultra group of death." So in summary, dis tourney be stacked yo!

You're crazy, how can anyone not be excited by Group D? Nobody is out after pools, if a player is good enough they can get far even if they come last in their group...

I do have to wonder, where's Hero? Is he coming through the Open bracket or is he not coming at all?


Looks like he missed the cut. Looking at the full rankings:

The lowest seed that wasn't a Korean invite is drewbie. If he had beaten Puma in the 5-6th place match at Raleigh he would've gotten a spot.

The seeding system has been the same throughout all the MLGs. Tweaking the groups just to please the audience rather than rewarding consistent performers would be incredibly stupid. Also, even if you are seeded high, you can end up with a tough group, stars just happened to align this time.

Let's say MC gets in the top three.

DOES MC GET CODE S THEN?

It's held before the up-downs but after Code A Ro16, so MC will likely be 'in' the up-downs by that point. Would he have to play out the up-downs or just be guaranteed Code S? If guaranteed, wouldn't that be unfair to someone like Puma if they were also in the top 3 and MC gets it but would have got it from up-down anyway?

yes, koreans can get the code S spot


You didn't read. What if he's got a place in the up and down matches going into Orlando? If he's given a spot direct there's a chance he could have just got in through the up-down matches in the next few days and hence denying the Code S spot to potential lower MLG finishes.

What races are in which pool arent decided by MLG but by rank points. The reason this is shocking is because the Koreans took there invites(specifically MC wanting to get back into code S) which actually makes this player pool insane.

They would probably have a round robin between the 9-16th to determine who goes to the up/downs in there place.
