If the players who gained all those points during the regular events didn't gain an advantage it would be messed up, and would make those regular events meaningless. | ||

I've just loved MLG and it's tournament format. It's not perfect I know, nor fair to players who can't make every tournament. but as a viewer it's really exciting for me to see who's going to make heroic runs from the open bracket etc. Providence should be absolutely amazing, would love to be there! | ||

I'm guessing that if any 1 of these people don't show then incontrol gets in? But I don't know why any of those top 16 wouldn't show.. Maybe a Korean might not if they have some Code S/A stuff is going on that they MUST attend. | ||

Remember the NASL where basically every match in the entire tournament before the finals was meaningless and the grandfinals were the real deal? MLG is preventing that, and this is good. Puma winning the NASL was, as exciting as the series vs MC was, a joke. Top seeded players having a big adventage is perfectly reasonable. | ||

Top seeded players having a big adventage is perfectly reasonable. puma had to go through more players and he had to win them all. MC actually dropped sets in pool play, and it's obvious that Puma had the harder road to the grand finals. How is every match before meaningless? If you don't place top 16 in in the pools you don't get to go to the grand finals period. The order in which you place didn't really matter, that's all, but the difference between being first place and 16th and being forced to win 4 more series is just dumb. Also consider the fact that in no way shape or form are the rankings indicative of higher quality players, just those who have attended more MLGs. | ||

So someone like Haypro who made like 15th place 4 times is more important than gold medal? | ||

The thing is a culmination of a CIRCUIT and as such if you can only turn up to one event it is perfectly fine that you don't get seeded I mean MLG doesn't have a great format, but it is MILES ahead of every other tournament | ||

Yes, but it's not really fair because getting 1st place is much much harder than going to all MLGs and doing mediocre results. 1st place winners should get more points so they are guaranteed to be seeded imo. | ||

It could be a rule for MLG 2012, where winners of MLGs get automatically seeded to the final, but honestly, for this circuit, it's not that big of a deal. MVP could easily go through the open bracket as well and then plough through the losers from the seeded group. | ||

Of course that would require a very organized body that creates and tracks rankings very well as well as sanctions events and tournaments that would count towards those rankings. And such a system would also be complicated by the korean/foreign divide if they were not weighted appropriately or counted separately. Still, I'd love to see the major tourneys working together and coexisting in the same way the Grand Slams do, and setting up something like this would work very well for that. | ||

Maybe I'm pointing out the obvious, but your seeding/ranking system is far too rigid. | ||

Still mind boggling how a player like MVP can be below ranking points than a player like iNcontroL, jesus. Can't wait for next season. | ||

Incontrol only has 1270 points because he got 4x really bad places for another 470 points. The fact that '4x really bad places' are worth 470 points is just further evidence why this system is fundamentally flawed. | ||
