Well this MLG looks like a Korean top 8 for sure. Bomber, MKP, Polt, Puma, July, MC, Hero are all favorites to beat basically any foreigner there with relative ease, so the only way I see the leaderboard not being dominated by Koreans is if they knock eachother out. I agree, only Stephano/Idra/Ret/Huk and possibly Demuslim can take a game/series off a korean. The overall level here (from a korean standpoint) is actually higher than IPL. I think you could add SaSe to that list. It's still a very short list, mind you. Show nested quote +On October 12 2011 23:03 icarly wrote:On October 12 2011 13:08 ValhallaDude wrote:
Hoping MKP, Polt, and alive don't end up eliminating each other. Also hoping to see stephano get eliminated. He is a good player, just don't like the BM. i.e. "that was a stupid question" lol European players sound like they are bming a lot of the times when they aren't. Their vocabulary isn't as big as a native English speaker so when he said stupid he could have been trying to say weird or confusing. Yeah, that remark was merely miscommunication, and certainly not intended BM. ValhallaDude, you should not assume that everyone as the same command of English language as you do, being a native speaker. Stephano did troll Huk (during the Bally's panel), and that was intentional, I'm not sure whether that should really count as BM though.
Stupid and stupide mean the same thing, wether english or french. No miscommunication here in my opinion. Maybe he did, but you can't assume he meant something else.

Where's all the Swedes?
I can see Haypro... But where's MorroW, Nani, Thorzain etc. ^^
I didn't see Sase. So ok some Swedes question still remains though Morrow has no points since he never(?) participated before. The trip would never pay off for him due to the tiny prize pool. Naniwa is already qualified for the finals and needs no more points. He probably feels he'd be better off training in Korea. Thorzain had a shitty experience last(and only) time he attended an MLG and decided not to return this season.
Incorrect, Morrow was at MLG Columbus.

wow, Open brackets are gonna be better than group play =p

Well Stephano, PuMa, and Polt will be there. Guess that means toss won't win.
|
Wow, the playing field for this MLG is ridiculous. So much talent out there. It's amazing how the Koreans are slowly coming in full force to these foreign tournaments. Truly we're starting to have integration between the two scenes.
I'm excited. I hope I have time to watch this tourney.

Ridiculous lineup.
I hope polt/mkp/stc/stephano don't bump into each other too soon and knock each other out.
Would love to see all four make it out.

I'm in the pool, quite clearly I'm notable. Plat. player, ready for his break out!

They are just sticking with it for last two events of this season. Also... a 4th place + 3x22nd place (approximately) is not unreasonably out of the top 16 in MOST ranking systems.
Ahm.. 3 x 22nd is in no way reasonable for a 16 seed even with one 4th place IF 22nd place is basically one of the very last places your even able to get as long as you attend  . The sad thing about the MLG system is/was... It would not even have been good if no Koreans would have been invited. It was/is just horrible to the core. Inviting Koreans just made it (way) worse ^^. Well.. I guess it worked for Halo . What you seem to be forgetting is that not all the players who placed above his 22nd place did so consistently, which is why it is perfectly reasonable for a player with "4th place + 3x22nd place (approximately)" to remain in the top 16.

when do the points balance out so the people who've been doing bad in seed can finally get knocked out and back to bracket?
hate seeing people get good points just because they are seeded over and over yet never show up. Yeah, I dunno how it all works, but the result is quite weird imo... Like inControl, for instance. He takes last place of his group with 0-5 twice in a row, gets a quite poor 22nd rank (for a pool player ofc) THREE times in a row, and he's just still there... I don't get it ! MLG announced that they're going to change the system next season, but will not change the rules in the middle of a season. INcontroL is ranked this high because even after losing his group several times he still won matches in the champion ship bracket afterwards, justifiably placing him above those players. Oh thanks, great news, I hadn't noticed ! Did they provide more details or did just annouce a future change ? I think they wanted to go for a more dynamic, less protective system. I think I found the thread I was referring to: Show nested quote +On August 12 2011 09:45 MLG_Adam wrote:Also to respond to those that are not happy with our points system, neither are we.

We are well aware of the short comings of our current structure, prizes, etc. For next year, look for more direct avenues into our seeding system, more immediate opportunities to crack pool play, more online activity, less forgiveness of poor showings (e.g. no tenure for players that do not do well), GLOBAL feeder systems, better prizes....I could go on and on, and I'm very excited to announce details when we're ready, but the bottom line is: We are addressing, and hopefully fixing, many of the complaints/suggestions that we read from the community in an effort to truly represent the SC2 community. We learned some lessons, as we have every year in nearly 10 years of doing these events, and we're excited to apply to them to all of our titles for next year, especially sC2 
Very good to know, thanks again
I'm wondering what he means by "more online activity", will there be some online qualifier like the ones for IPL3 ?

More Stephano action please =)

Training in a mountain. A new and even more rugged Naniwa will be the Blizzcon champion.

oh MLG weekend how I've missed you!
The hype and talent that comes out to MLG's for $5000 is incredible. Every stop on the MLG tour feels like a super bowl.
I can't waitttttttttttttttttt.

Milkis please open up a reddit donation thread for ForGG, I will drop 4 figures right now.

Lol it's so funny to see some of the names in the open bracket that should really REALLY be in pool play over at least a few of the players there..
