When will they finally hire someone to make these decisions who follows the scene and knows what the fans want to see? Who makes these decisions now anyway and does he know noone likes what he does?

I can't believe they still have extended series after 2 years of bad matches due to it and angry fans.

Well, they did get rid of extended series in the Champ bracket, for the people unable to figure out why it was needed. And it's limited in the previous two stages.

Though Champ brackets will be a bit shorter now since, well, you lose once, you go home.

In the lengthy Losers Bracket, it's gone (since the resuts from previous stages no longer carry over), but it can happen in the Semifinal Matches (either from the loser of Winners Round 1 winning in Losers Round 8 and earning a rematch, or otherwise from the Losers Bracket player winning the initial Bo3 in the Semifinal to bring it to an extended Bo7).

They are old, VERY old infact. But thing is so is the entire mappool.

The current map pool has lasted twice as long unchanged than the average ladder pool. That is the real problem.

I don't really mind the gold bases. Blizzard fixed those a long time ago.

I like the switch to two double elim brackets where the winner of each have a grand final. While that pushes the "bad MLG finals" syndrome over to both semifinals, at least the ending can feel a bit more exciting than a properly done double elim finals normally is.
Bad manners are better than no manners at all.

I think he knows.



About 17 minutes and 40 seconds in is when they talk about MLG's league commissioner for a minute or so.

You guys should listen to the fans, update the map-pool, it keeps the action fresh and interesting.

Besides that the changes are finally starting to come, slow decision makers at the top of the MLG.

How out of touch can MLG really be? The community doesn`t want those ancient maps. I am sure the players don`t want those ancient maps. How hard can this decision be? There is new maps integrated in other tournaments successfully.

Making an huge change in the format of the tournament, but not updating the maps is weird.

Yea, lets just hand out invites to people who failed to even qualified to MLG arena. You dont see the problem giving out invites to fan favorite foreigners that lose to other players who qualified to MLG arena but coulnt qualify to the next MLG?
