So when the high profile players they were planning to invite don't show up, what does MLG do? Do they find equally high profile players, or as close as they can get, and give them the invites instead? No, they give the invite seeds to a bunch of no-names who couldn't even make it through the weakest region of their arena qualifiers. Yeah, that makes so much sense. The rules for seeding non-Arena players. Of course, they were going to break their own procedure to allow for the KeSPA players (and, in fact, the new Group Play format seems tailor-made to accomodate the extra eight players, but that's just my opinion). 2. The Top 24 Summer Arena Players will start in Group Play and be seeded #1-24 based on the Summer Arena Standings. If Summer Arena Consolation Matches were played they will be used to break ties. Ties that can’t be broken by Consolation Matches will be broken by MLG Rank and then randomly. 3. Players will be seeded #1-208 for the Open Bracket based on the following criteria in this order: Summer Arena Standings, Summer Invite-Only Online Qualifier Standings, Summer Open Online Qualifier Standings, and MLG Rank. If Summer Arena or Summer Invite-Only Online Qualifier Consolation Matches were played, they may be used to break ties. Ties may also be broken using the next available criterion or randomly. Players who didn’t participate in the Summer Arena, didn’t participate in a Summer Invite-Only Online Qualifier, failed to finish in the top 32 of a Summer Open Online Qualifier, and have no MLG Rank will be seeded randomly. | ||

It's probably just they know each other and he asked the other guy to boost his points. at high GM it's normal to keep run into same person 5+ time in a row, especially during odd hours. I remember seeing MKP run into JKS like 7-8 time in a row on stream. | ||

I didn't expect it but I've been trying my best since finishing high school and moving to the compLexity house for the summer so I hope I can put forward a good result to prove I'm worth the spot. It's also incredibly likely I'll just go out quickly depending on who I play, but I'll try my best! | ||

No one's going to give you shit for trying to pursue your career and passion. We are mad with MLG. Anyway, good luck! Your group is definitely doable lol. | ||

Nothing against those guys obviously, if they produce good matches I couln't care less about how they got there. | ||

I can see him crushing the open bracket and then meeting Taeja in the finals. It would be a toss-up between these two players to take down the championship in my opinion, but I may have to give the edge to chief Panda because his PvT is godlike. Is that refering to the fact that he's a Snorlax? OH NO I DI'INT | ||

The Blue stream will begin with Winners Round 4, and Premium 2 starts with Losers Round 3 (losers get eliminated in 13th-16th). | ||

It's also incredibly likely I'll just go out quickly depending on who I play, but I'll try my best!As others have said, the anger appears to be more at the organization than any particular players. Even so, I don't think anyone is uspet at your inclusion in Groups, as you went to Arena, took a game off of Alicia, and beat Sheth. Your placement at the Arena put you among the next-best qualified players to get into the Groups (regardless of whether or not EU and KR players could have attended the Championship), and nobody can take that away from you. Good luck in groups! (It appears that your first match will be against Goody). | ||
