On the other hand, i agree with most of the people here that the map pool could use some modifications. Like gold minerals on antiga or shakuras in general. Also, don't like TDA in tournaments because of the positions and pvp on that map. not to mention extended series.. Overall, mlgs are getting better and better, so no hard feelings  | ||

Having Cloud Kingdom and Daybreak as your only decent maps in a pool of 7 is rather poor on MLG's part | ||

I am getting a little tired of the same maps all the time as I'm sure a lot of people would agree. not even that we're tired of seeing them, its the obvious fucking imbalances in them. i dont understand how they can fuck this up so bad. just take gsl's maps or something. but tal darim altar? shakuras? omg.... | ||

You can't get eliminated in group, you just get seeded lower in the championship bracket. No idea who invents these systems for MLG, but they're horrible. You know why all the other tournaments use normal systems? Cause they work and are exciting to watch. | ||

Your current map pool makes you look like you're stuck in 2011. | ||

I'm guessing one player from each team minus Ace. It could be somewhat merit-based, as in the best performing players from PL in SC2 or a mini-qualifier for only Kespa individuals. Sure, it's still giving them preference because they only compete with each other, but it's not too different from how Thorzain was invited to an Arena for winning a Dreamhack. No one had a problem with it there, right? Edit: I don't think extended series is quite gone. Within the different stages there might be extended series (though since rematches can't happen in Open Bracket, only stages 2 and 3 might have them). I think that's the whole point with match history not carrying over from one stage into another. ie, if players A and B meet each other twice in Stage 2, then there will be extended series but if they met once in stage 2 and once in stage 3, then no extended series. It's pretty nice. | ||

It is not really gone, but it has been limited to only functioning within the stage where the first match occurred. I guess it would be analogous to MLG in two years time having all good maps, but modifying them with having all gold bases, blocked thirds or some other feature not seen in any other competition. | ||

i guess its their policy to not change a mappool for a whole year, in that case its time to change that policy | ||
