If it happens once or twice it can be due to accidentally overlooking an event or scheduling difficulties, if it happens all the time, it's a statistical fact. | ||

MLG is trying to grow the industry, not squash opposition. (maybe eventually, but not yet). It takes a LOT of operational concern and logistics to run something like this- why would they schedule something during a competing event when it would demonstrably reduce their viewership (thus revenue generation)? | ||

Also full previews of MLG/DreamHack, Naniwa's triumph in GSL, and MLG's Adam Apiacella hinting at HotS and BW pros being featured at MLG Anaheim. All starts at 7:00 PM EST/01:00 CET with myself, djWHEAT and SirScoots at http://www.Twitch.tv/OneMoreGameTV PS. I will have my own special announcement to make tonight, as well :O) It's night somewhere, whats the news?  | ||

Cross-seeding this way gives player X a lift in Tournament B just because of how well he did in Tournament A. If the Tournaments were very isolated in who plays in them, that might be one thing, but the top 30-40 players of SC2 tend to get to all the major tournaments, and getting Seeded in an MLG event because you did well at DreamHack or vise-versa feels unfair to the other players imho, and pro-players have been known to echo my sentiments. What I'd LOVE to see is the four finalists from each of these tournaments (throw GSL, IPL and NASL into this mix) have a World Championship for SC2 to determine the undisputed heavyweight SC2 champion each year. Now that would be EPIC. Cross-seeding just looks like two organizations fake hugging each other to get shared audience, and is unfair to the players involved. | ||

Remember last season MLG tried this with GSL and it didn't produce great results. Some MLG players who went to GSl expressed that they didn't feel the seeding was a fair trade and that GSL players got the better end of the deal. | ||

Guess it just sucks that a 8 man mini event steals the attention away from a big tournament like Dreamhack with over a hundred players (both korean and foreigners). This would of been so much better if they didn't collide on the same date. | ||

GSL this week had commercials for Dreamhack eizo invitational running between Code S matches, so i don't really think they are directly competing against eachother just yet. | ||

A GSL/Dreamhack cooperation would be cool. And instead of winning a Code-S seed it would be much cooler if the winner or top contenders could win like a month of training in korea or something. | ||

As a viewer we lost one European at the MLG event, unless Koreans fail to win Dreamhack. Dreamhack seems to have gained nothing in particular from this. For MLG it is pretty much the same, perhaps an extra Korean to fly in for the event. | ||
