Still baffled at how I could be discluded while being in top 100 of rank points, top 50 na ladder all the time, and winning thousands in online tournaments and LANs :/
I mean, I went to four MLGs and they already screwed me over at Columbus, telling me the wrong time and then walking me over when I was less than 15 minutes late.
Great format and season though... really excited! I'll definitely be making it to Columbus and Raleigh, I'm gonna guess that the June one is Anaheim to which I'll hopefully be making it too

And this is exactly the problem with invitational tournaments that have no open qualifiers.

I'm still kinda baffled as to why the big open tourney is in Ohio while the small studio event is in NY. Everyone I've talked to would rather travel to NY than Ohio, lol.

Apparently you missed the part where Adam said that the first online qualifiers would be invitational due to time constraints (i.e., time between Winter Season announcement and first qualifier too short) and that future qualifiers would likely be open.

Are they bringing back MLG Anaheim?

I live about a hour from Columbus and love going to MLG, but serious why Columbus in Febuary you know there could be 2 feet of snow the second week of Febuary hope you have a plan if weather is a factor.

FWIW it will probably snow that week just because its Columbus and it likes to snow in late March/early April.

Having a paid for trip to the tourney plus seeding into the pools is an overwhelming advantage that isn't available to poke bunny because MLG doesn't think he's "good enough" or one of the cool kids.
They've said they're going to open it up, it's just a shame they didn't do it sooner.

Really glad to see these dates announced! Thanks MLG!
