There were about 55 people vying for just 6 spots , while EU had 17 people playing for 9. I think theres something inherrently wrong with that. MLGs reason is that NA players perform worse, but Violet won last Arena and he came from NA. I think it sucks for NA players who did well and cant get a chance to play here. blehhh! I can only echo what the previous posters said, the only reason we even talk about this is because the format MLG uses is incredibly stupid, it discourages not only competition, it also prevents existing skilled players from participating in Arenas and MLGs and in turn lowers the skill level of competitors at the events. If you're halfway decent and get into an Arena once, you have almost a free pass to the next few events, because new good players only get into the invite only qualifiers very, very slowly. In the last qualifier, the system resulted in the ridiculous scenario of seventeen players (in reality fifteen players, two of them didn't even show up) fighting for nine spots and paid trips. You show up, win two BO3s, maybe just one, if you're lucky with a walkover, and you're qualified for what's supposed to be a really prestigeous event. The system works for NA because NA players attend the MLG events and play in the open bracket, so there's like 50 of them in the top 80. You can't honestly expect that from EU players. Just make a really open qualifier, seed the Arena players into later rounds if you have to, but please raise the amount of players allowed to participate, so there's a bit of pressure on the other guys. And announce the dates earlier for god's sake, even the "open online qualifiers" were not really a success because so few people actually had time to play in them. | ||

Korean quals dont look so stacked, the same with European one. Too bad a lot of people in Europe are good enough to take games/series off of top people in Europe, but (probably) not good enough to take 2-3 GSL level koreans in a row. Rooting for every one of them though! Especially rooting for SaSe, Nerchio and First! | ||

My hope is that one day MLG can up there office and allow a very small number of spectators. Would be a good excuse to travel to NY. | ||
