- Goldminerals on Antiga need to go ( perhaps the map too ) - Shakuras and Taldarim are too old. - Get Ohana in. - Stop modifying maps, there's a reason mapmakers make them like they are. ( metropolis island ) | ||

( metropolis island ) Are there really still golds on antiga? I thought everyone had fixed them to blues a long long time ago. | ||

Anyone else wondering about this? I'm thinking it might be 8 kespa guys (in fact I'd be willing to bet that it is) but still, not sure how I feel about this if they're invites and not qualifiers, which it sounds like is whats happening EDIT: Because mules are no longer rediculous on gold bases I don't think its necessarily bad that theres still gold bases | ||

Much simpler than the confusing shit you're doing with the championship bracket and much more exciting for the viewer. | ||

Because then the open bracket becomes a complete mess and would take a long time to complete. | ||

Not really a point to a partnership with KeSPA if MLG isn't going to bring over their players. I'm guessing one player from each team minus Ace. | ||

Sundance and MLGAdam have said multiple times that they don't want to see nothing but Koreans because it does hurt them viewer wise. | ||

Shakuras and tal'darim already weren't acceptable 6 months ago Gold minerals should already have disappeared from any acceptable map pool a while ago | ||

Because once you lose once, you are eliminated from championship bracket. The loser's bracket then plays alongside the Championship bracket. | ||

The only problem I have with the new system is if one part of the bracket is way more stacked than the other, meaning the finals might be pretty lackluster but they mostly are anyways :/ Tal'Darim and Shakuras, really? I think Testbug should have a place then aswell Oh and I just noticed "MLG Metropolis - Island expansions removed" HAHA WHAT?! | ||

Just play the open bracket till 16 players are left. These 16 players then go into a normal round robin groupstage with the top 16 from Arena. | ||
