Recently, the open brackets have been more interesting as you mostly get to see the same names in pool play. I hope the coverage of the open bracket will be improved this time. As for pool play: Go Socke!

Pretty much as good a pool as Stephano could ask for. He should win against Alicia and Ganzi. Polt will be very tough and is probably a tossup, but he can win.

some good matches coming up. Looking forward to these, looks like we'll have a pretty Korean heavy group of finishers though; I have a hard time imagining Socke or Grubby winning their pools and Stephano would still have to play his absolute best to get out in 1st.

MLG? It's from qualifiers (the spring arenas) so it's not really MLG's "fault".

Stephano vs. Polt is becoming some kind of classic, like Brazil vs. Italy in soccer.

Socke pulling the small stick on this one. Well, wish him the best!

Stephano vs Polt will be awesome cause it has been some time since they last met and both have evolved.

The Zergs are pretty good. So I think one of them will win!

I feel like MLG is becoming more like GSL with the super powered koreans getting "seeds" an only a couple foreigners barely qualifying for one. I enjoyed it alot more when there were maybe a few koreans in group play while all the others were in brackets though that's just me :/ I would rather see more foreigners get through the polar opposite of the GSL but oh well guess that won't be happening any time soon :/

Not a single player was given a subjective seed. Every pool spot was earned through online qualifers then Arena placement.

I wasn't trying to imply it was subjective in any way so if it sounded that way I apologize ffor my misuse o words :/. All I was really trying to say is I'd like to see more foreigners get through/win is all

wtf is the huk?

HuK is in the Open Bracket, because he did not place in the top 16 in MLG Spring Arena 2.

It's actually a wierd/different pool that I am used to see. Normally there are a bunch of Koreans and a few Americans, but now it's like even more Koreans and very few Europeans. There are actually no Americans at all in these pools. o.o

Grubby is going to take the whole thing.
