bittersweet for mvp not being able to get top 16. he would've been guaranteed top 16 if he just came once more, but he couldn't because he was too busy being the best player in the world and completely owning gsl.

The question I have is that it seems that Providence will also be awarding points to players. Is that true or did I hallucinate? Was it just true in last years? If it is true, will the $50k prize be awarded to whoever has the most MLG Points from the season? Or, are they just planning on using the points for seeding next year (or thinking about it)?

Well, being in the pool guarantees a finish of at least 24th. That, plus the exponential point distribution means that it's difficult to fall out of the pools.

The top 4 barely have to play any games, lol. Wonder what they'll be doing for 3 days before they play their games?

So since ranked players are seeded, I guess this means the first day of Providence would be streaming the 256 open bracket players. Any idea on which matches they are going to stream or at least how they are going to prioritize which match to stream?

The #1-4 seeds have to win 1 Match (upper or lower bracket) to earn 3k. That ain't bad!

Well BoxeR gets in, so I'm happy.

Ret has a pretty good seed to!

Idra seems to have the worst of luck, but I'm not sure MC will necessarily take out Bomber.

man, just a few hours since MLG Orlando finishes and I'm already hyped for Providence.

Pretty sure its top 28, not 24

Question: What is the format for the Open Bracket Tournament?

As of now, you have the top 8 from the Open Bracket get seeded into the different Loser Champ bracket slots, and then the bottom 8 from the Open Bracket playing each other... but if the Open Bracket Tournament is played until you get top 4, won't the bottom 8 already be playing each other? So does this mean that the Open Bracket Tournament is basically the same set-up and blood bath as other MLG tournaments?

Yeah, it's just a double-elimination bloodbath. Fun times.

It will be very difficult for anybody to make it through the open brackets - but I suppose this tournament is designed to reward those who have performed well in previous tournaments. To be perfectly honest though, I would rather prefer more evenly distributed prize pools at tournaments rather than a series of smaller tournaments and then one mega-large one.

He won't be playing Puma, do you mean Rain?

Still pretty tough competition for number 1 seed.

Pretty much a guarantee no one from the Open Bracket is going to win this event due to the huge difference in amount of games needed to be played.

I think this format is a little too favorable towards the higher seeds. Basically, for an open bracket player to win the tournament, they have to win 5x the amount of games that the number 1 seeds have to win. I just seems unfair to me, especially since many of the seeded players are definetly weaker than some of the open bracket players who will be attending. I can't understand at all why Idra would be unhappy about the number 1 seed. Perhaps he wants to be automatically in the finals??

I really hope they all go. Incontrol would be the next and frankly he just doesn't deserve to be up there with the rest of these players and be guaranteed such a spot.
