This is just way over top in my opinion. | ||

We could see that MC after 6x bo3 with Rain, Ret, Puma, MKP, Idra, StC all was played during 7h most of them was 2-1 and he was just tired in finals, and HuK played 2 bo3 during this 7h. Long story short, format heavily favor seeded people. | ||

I like how one bad match doesnt totally screw you (obviously it semi-screws you). Its nice that people can fight their way back. I would really like it if the final 4 rounds were not BO3 though (or the extended bullsh...) | ||

I would love it if MLG fully supplied housing for any players who wish to come. Obviously htey dont need to be extravagant, but it would be nice if the players had their transportation and rooms taken care of. Even if it was just a gymnasium with a bunch of cots on it or something. Obviously the players who are rollign in money would be able to buy a nice hotel, but this would help even the non-pro GM players who drive for 5 hours to come to this event. | ||

The fact that incontrol has a 8-25 record in all MLG events and was just now removed from group play is concerning and shows that those that continue to do well have a very small chance of 'earning' a good seed for the finals. I would also think that the finals would be based on a mathematical breakdown of points earned from all of the events. It appears that that is not actually the case here. I would love to meet the person who thought this process up. There are actually much easier to understand and competitive ways to lay this out that are also more in line with real world sports. however.. it will be a killer finals no matter how you slice it. my 3 cents.. | ||

Winning 4 Bo3's to take the entire championship is ridiculous. Awful tournament format. Would not be surprised if MVP declines to come back to focus on GSL Ro8. I really doubt he'll show up. Combine all the factors of GSL, his CTS problems, IM's financial capabilities, and no seeding, means there's little incentive for him to show up. Yeah the prize money is great, but will that be enough? Also, I get that MLG's system was created to reward frequent attendees, but not giving automatic seeding to former champions (in the relevant MLGs) is stupidly crazy. | ||

What better do they have to do? Grind out ladder games? If a tournament setting (with a huge prize pool) isnt a great place to train, I dont know what is | ||

Seems pretty fair. Nope, sorry but even Sundance has acknowledged that their ranking system is awful, and that they're planning to address this for the next season. | ||
