Someday i will find out what kind of drugs they took when designing/deciding on MLG's tournament and pointsystem (and to invite Koreans whiteout also changing the point system)..
And from that day on my eyes shall shine and glidder and sparkly flowers shall follow me around wherever I go (or something like that) .

Everyone talking about how stacked the top16 currently is... but imagine how stacked the open bracket will be just cause of the prize pool, never mind the fact its MLG...
so many koreans...

I can't wait to find out what kind of drugs you're on.

So the top 4 players only need to win 4 series in a row to win the entire tourney? I knew it would help to have done well in previous tournaments, but that is a pretty sick advantage, especially considering some open bracket players would probably have to win nearly 20 in a row for the same title.
I mean, this bracketing just seems like the regular MLGs, except with pool play removed. So instead of pitting the top16 seeded against eachother for spots further in the bracket, they are just automatically decided by previous performance.
This seems kind of a recurring problem with all of MLG's bracketing practices, extremely bottom heavy overall. By that I mean, the worse you are playing, the more games you have to play to prove yourself. I can understand the concept behind it, but has just seemed excessively light on the top tier players with the extended series advantages, the previous MLG's constant 2-game-long grand finals, and now a plausible 4 series MLG championship.
edit: Why is it that when MLG wants series and events to be more epic/important, they start taking games away and handing out advantages? This seems so counter-intuitive to me, lol. I mean, I'd still prefer this to GSL's system (we can see what that lead to), but I feel like there has to be a better way of doing things.

Havent been a fan of the previous advantages pool play give people (and even more so how hard it is to drop out of pool status), but this is gonna be even worse. If I was some high level EU/NA player not on the top16 list I could definitely see myself not going. There really no chance at all for anyone except possibly a VERY high level Korean (I could think of maybe 2-4 people or so) to have a solid chance to place in a top spot from the open bracket.
MLG keeps going on about how previous high placings should give an advantage and how they want the same players to return over and over again, thats just hurting them in my opinion. Isnt it more exciting to see new and fresh players be able to go on amazing win streaks and place high even though its their first MLG? Isnt it more exciting to see the best players compete for the highest spots, rather than the ones who has attended most stops that year. GSL, DreamHack, IEM, nobody else does anything which even resembles this kind of advantage.
Really hoping for a better format next year.

Ugh. So now we have another king-of-the-hill style bracket for the championship winners bracket as well as the champ losers bracket. Sure its the easiest bracket to make but I really don't like how it works.

Your link states that they have their travel expenses covered, not that they are seeded in the top 16. There is no pool play and thus no "invite spot". These four either are seeded like is explained in the OP or can play through the open bracket.

D; looks like Nestea won't be coming to this one yet again. Arrrghhh
I doubt MVP is going to want to play a shit ton of games either only to then face the likes of MC, MMA, huk, idra, Bomber, puma etc at the end of the road. Although there is quite a lot of money for first, and sure to be a huge audience so maybe it will attract him.

I don't like this seeding system. Why?
1. We get less games from the top seeded players
2. Top seeds don't get rewarded with an easier side of the bracket, since not everyone(koreans in particular) attends all MLG events to reflect their capabilities. The best player in the world can attend twice and be up against the no. 1 MLG seed.
So what do the most dedicated MLG players get? They get to sit on their ass and wait for their series against a GSL legend. And if they lose that match, they're one series away from elimination.

WTF. They made this even more favored towards seeded players. Why is mlg so evil to freshies...

Naniwa would have been first if he actually showed up, so luck worked in his favor.
