Basically, if your one of original people in pool play, and you show up to every event, no matter how badly you do, you are guarenteed to keep your spot... -_- | ||

But Idra would have to face them at some point, and to be fair Idra will be fresh while doing so I think his seed has gotta look pretty good to him. Does anyone have the info on what prize placements coincide with which positions on the bracket? I.E. is finishing in the L.B final second place or third? Is winner's bracket finals 3rd or 5th, etc? | ||

It make sense, since it's (League) and not a tournament. It should reward and count for all past event from this years. | ||

But I also think Boxer will have a good chance to beat Select, Slush and Naniwa, and perhaps make the improbable run into the semifinals. But it depends on who gets the #3 seed from the Open. | ||

There should be a way where previous MLG champions of that particular year are guaranteed Top 16 seed for the year end MLG National. | ||

There is such a small chance that MVP would actually come anyways. Around MLG Providence he will be heavy into GSL focus mode. That should be roughly when the RO8 starts. So yea... he'll be busy with that since we all know no ones going to eliminate him lol | ||

Anyways...good format. Reward those who actually attend and place well. Top 4 definitely have less games to play, but their opponents are going to be some of the toughest ones. Also, MVP not being in top16 after winning ONE competition is a little ridiculous but I guess that's the system. Hopefully MLG fixes it for next year. Good competition, can't wait for Providence. edit: I see that they are still going to invite people from GSL. Can MLG invite MVP again? or is it a one time thing? Hopefully NesTea gets invited. Clide would be huge too. | ||

Idra is hoping Bomber & MC are in the Ro4 for GSL November and can't make it. InControl is hoping beyond hope that MMA is in the Ro4 and won't come out that weekend. (Because he'd get that spot, lol) And Naniwa really, really doesn't want anyone above DRG to drop out, moving him up a rank, lol. | ||

Its the national championship for the whole season, so why should the season not matter that much? I think its just about right | ||

He truly is the hero we need. Also this format means for the first few days we'll see new faces on the main stage instead of Idra and Huk twelve times. | ||

The circuit events were meant to put on a great show for the fans all year long and the championship is designed to reward those players who performed best throughout the whole circuit. It is not an isolated event like a Dreamhack. For people concerned that we won't see big names until the very end: consider that MLG Orlando is probably the most stacked event outside of Code S and that's just because people were trying to get points to better place themselves for this event. Providence itself is likely going to be stacked with world class talent from start to finish. | ||
