well, to be frank, does anyone doubt that the winter classic winner will be one of the 8 Korean finalists?

Nightend, Polt and ToD are... not sure they "should"... since if they qualify (top 8) they'll be forced to pull out of one of their commitments.

GL Snute
Babyknight


I also feel that chinese players should've been invited to the Korean/taiwanese qualifier.



How do you know they weren't?


Why would they decline an invite to a qualifier that pays the travel to the tournament? doesnt make any sense. And also there are alot more EU players missing, even if you dont count these.

Assembly is a better tournament and closer to home with good prizes and they get guaranteed spot. Why any European who got invited to Assembly chose MLG is beyond me


MLG is a way better tournament. You're such an absurd fanboy of anything European.

In what way is MLG a better tournament? Normally MLgs are good tournaments but this won't even have a crowd lol


Because the player pool is around a million times better than Assembly's. I will watch both but it's not at all comparable.


The player pool is the koreans. We lacking all the best foreigner players. I normally watch GSL to see koreans. Im not gonna watch this "Mlg event" where the koreans gonna stomp NA and midtier EU players. pointless


Mid tier EU?

It has (assuming they all qualify) Sase, Thorzain, Naniwa, Morrow, Ret, Sjow, Socke, HasuObs, White Ra, Grubby (plus Huk, Sheth and Idra as other foreigners)

The only massive names in the EU scene missing are Stephano, Nerchio, Kas and Dimaga.

I realise you are Stephano's number one blind fanboy but if you won't watch a tournament because four guys aren't playing when 99% of the worlds best player are then that's pretty damn sad.

Yes. The only massive names in the EU scene missing are the highest-earning SC2 foreign player, and the top 3 foreign players in the first tournament of the year. No big deal right ?


Well as none of them are in the top 20 players in the world anyway it doesn't matter.

This is the worst tournament qualification system I have ever seen. Invitations based is pretty much the worst thing ever (prevent upcoming players from even having a chance), but having "regions quota" is equally as bad.

But the thing annoying me the most is that the majority of the community doesn't seems to have a problem with it. I'm very disapointed.

Get real our top EU players can and beat koreans they done it so many times. Its only the very very top koreans that dominate


Eight Premier Tournaments in a row won by Koreans now.

I discounted AOL as no foreigners competed.

Because basically anyone who's anyone has been invited. There's loads of lesser known players on the invite list.

Every established players were anyone who weren't anyone before being established.

How likely do you think it would have been for Thorzain to be on this list if TSL3 has used this system ?

This looks more like a TV show than a actual competition.

The new MLG system makes every tournament in 2011 as well as the Blizzard ladder a Qualifier for MLG winter 2012, ppl who couldn't make the cut have the open bracket. This is a more global system compared to last season's, This is also a better system since it brings the best out of each region.


THIS SYSTEM IS ONLY FOR MLG WINTER SEASON 2012

it will be different for the next 3 seasons.

I really hope MLG goes with an open qualifier for the spring. How can the next Thorzain, Feast, Elfi, Killer or Gatored get discovered with this system? Just impossible

New account created today just for this post?
    you're scared to post on your main acct?
    your main acct is (temp) banned?
    this finally got you to make a TL account?

I think (like streaming) there should be a delay for making your first post..

Open bracket won't really help since it's not really feasible for an up and coming European or Korean to fly to US with a horrible seed and really small chance to win. If MLG doesn't go with online open qualifier for the spring I'll be really disappointed in Sundance. Do you guys think that Stephano would have been at IPL3 if there weren't an open online qualifier? No chance

I don't like the invitations system either. But they don't have a 'regions quota'. Every player can decide in which qualifier he wants to compete. For example Morrow an Naama are playing NA qualifier.

Why don't you just allow everyone higher than 1000 masters points to join.
having an invite qualifier is kinda defeating the purpose of the whole qualifier idea imo
Favorite players: Stephano, Mana, Polt, Lucifron, Nerchio
