Remember Incontrol did get 4th in the very first event (dallas). So that's why he is so high. 4th place = 800 points, 1st place = 1200 points. Incontrol only has 1270 points because he got 4x really bad places for another 470 points. | ||

Holy shit, what awful luck for him (even though everyone else seems to be able to crush MC) I don't think this is likely at all to be honest. I think Bomber can beat MC no problem, and you have to assume whoever comes out of the open bracket will be a major threat as well and could easily get to Idra too. I'd predict seeing Idra/Bomber before Idra/MC. Either way, I don't like making the comment, "bet Idra didn't want the #1 seed now.." It is random who you end up with, so you always want to be the #1 seed if possible sometimes luck doesn't always work out but still. Plus if he beats MC, the theory is his next round should be an easier game than if he was the #2 seed. Either way, a tournament like this when you are down to the final 8 or so players they are all hard games. | ||

I'm sure the only reason he went to that sole MLG and won it is so he could qualify for Providence as a top seed, otherwise the 5k$ prizepool is laughable for a player of his stature. Now he doesn't even get top 16 due to poor point system (imo). I doubt thats the only reason he went. I think it has much more to do with the fact that his entire trip was paid for and he wasn't in the GSL anymore. Why the hell wouldn't he go, see some of his fans and maybe win some money? | ||

Now he doesn't even get top 16 due to poor point system (imo). I doubt this. He was invited, his expenses were payed for by MLG, he got to attend a tournament in another country for free and won the top prize. Just because he's won a lot of money doesn't mean attending a $5k top prize tourney for free is laughable. Not to mention exposure for himself and his team. I'm also sure he could figure out pretty easily he couldn't get seeded into the finals only attending once. ALSO he got first place which means MLG invited him back for a second one and he declined so he had the chance to return for free which would have basically guaranteed him a spot in the finals top-16 so I doubt he's "pissed right now" | ||

And this deal with the points seems to say that it's more important to MLG to make sure that people who show up all the time play in the later rounds instead of people who perform really well. Especially since the level of talent in the whole top 16 and the players we would expect to play in the open bracket will both be very high, so I don't see a need to make some people in the open bracket play 10 extra matches to have a chance of winning the tournament. | ||

There's not going to be a lot to see of the top ranked players because this bracket is substituting out pool play, that exists to keep the main stage content high from day one, for direct seeding. Seeds 1-4 won't even make an appearance on stream until Sunday. That's going to make for a different experience both at home and at the venue this time around. I hope it's not going to lead to a total anti climax of an event - as most MLG Grand Finals have been so far. I will be very surprised if one of the top four seeds doesn't take top prize. IdrA, HuK, Naniwa or MMA have only to win four (or five) Bo3s to take $50,000 - let that sink in. | ||
