Makes sense as MLG is based primarily in the U.S (for now). The biggest issue will be time as it is a 64 player, with double elimination, on top of a championship.

Awesome! I hope this makes more NA players play seriously (even more so if this will be a yearly event!)

Then maybe we can see more good foreigner competition! The Europeans could use some backup, NA! ;-)

Really don't like to see two tournaments on the same date, this is going to be so hard for some players.
Questioning Blizzard intentions, with fatigue players and maybe casters this won't exactly be a great tournament.
Yes I'm calling it now, sorry

Players are already saying it's really hard to come from the open bracket and battle your way to the top, now they will have EVEN more matches if they want to compete in both tournaments.

Hope to see a IPL/DH stream with full HD and 60fps.

No Extended Series?
FUCKING YES! <3

Well... IEM are having LoL and the ESL is doing !!! 12 !!! events for the Blizzard WCS... not just 2 events.

So I doubt that Blizzard tries to influence the MLG towards not having LoL in the circuit with this deal...
Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.

I'm wondering when they are going to announce who has already been invited to nationals. The most notable names (Sheth, Idra, Axslav, Nony, KawaiiRice, Incontrol, etc.) have been missing from the Playhem qualifiers.

Maybe the announcement will be a patch that includes extended series into the ladder!

Like if you lose to a guy on the ladder, then next game you play against them and win, doesn't actually count as a win, but exists to cancel out the previous loss. Blizzard have you ever considered adding Extended Series to the Ladder?

That and also the fact that MLG just had a meeting with the CEO of Riot games, and are already in talks with Valve on their titles to be added to the circuit.

I couldn't agree more with this player fatigue is going to be a major for these tournaments and will probably end up leading towards lower quality games.

Disappointed Blizzard insisted on doing these tournaments simultaneously but perhaps it will save them $. I pray that the WCS becomes so gigantic that they will have seperate events next year. At least a seperate event for Continental Grand Finals.

Thank you for no extended series!
Time is a great teacher, unfortunate that it kills all its pupils ...
