@Pinski ,vthree
I understand the situation very well. That's why i suggested on page 1 to give the remaining seeds to the highest open bracket finishers.

sad days for MLG. Sad day for the community that so few ppl even notice that.
Never thought that seeding would get out of control like that. I always was against seeding ppl who didn't qualifier for it and don't have any other proof to legitimate seeding them over other open bracket players.
What's next?
Do we have a raffle at next MLG to get some fans seeded in the groups?

To be clear: i don't have anything against those invited players like Binski and Caliber, and its definitely not their fault that they are invited! I also like that the local players gets supported but this is NOT the right way.



You need to calm down. Maybe do a little research before posting?

binski and Caliber were seeded as they are from their results in the Summer Arena American Invite-Only Qualifier. Caliber was a single game away from qualifying for Summer Arena (losing to Sheth 1-2 in the final round) and binski was 1 round away. giX was in the same position as Caliber.

And just FYI, they all made it farther than HuK.


Can you link me any source for your claims?
I read the official announcements. I can't remember reading anything about that.
I trust in liquipedia until you give me your sources:
Seeds:
Top 16 players of 2012 MLG Summer Arena are seeded into Group Play.
A further 8 invited players are seeded into Group Play.

If it is true what you are saying it is even more confusing. Why would you seed players who actually not even qualified for the arena. This wouldn't even make sense or be fair in any way. You could take the top 24 players from the arena or smth like that.


MLG Arena players 17-32 are not given free trips to MLG -- so very few/none of them accepted their invites. Then MLG goes down the list of the next highest people (I.e. binski / caliber who were both 1 round away from Arena) and they got invited. Since they were going to be at MLG anyway, they got the seeds.

I don't get what's so hard to understand, there's no reason for you to be a massive dick.

I'll agree the lineup is abit light on Europeans, but other than those it's pretty solid as far as Koreans go. Taeja Hero Ryung First Oz Violet Leenock MKP, plenty of talent to go around.

Only players I'm actually disappointed not attending are MC and Sase.

Lineup isn't bad, but I'm admittedly disappointed we won't see any KeSPA players there (how ironic I'm saying that when I was so wary when this deal was announced).

I'll still watch (it'd be silly not to as it IS still a good lineup), but yeah - not quite as hyped as I was before I read this thread.

The top 16 seeded players are good, but MLG will have to explain how they chose the 8 invited players... It makes no sense.
Also, Stephano and Hero got screwed

Crank, DeMusliM, Flo, Suppy, JYP, ThorZaiN, HuK, IdrA, Heart, SeleCT, TheSTC, MarineKingPrime, NonY, Axslav, Spanishiwa, TT1, desRow, Beastyqt, gaulzi, kiwiLighT, LookNoHands, and MaximusBlack?

Man, thats a killer open bracket, not just in terms of talent but in terms of community names. I don't think anyone expects MaximusBlack to take it versus MKP or whathaveyou, but its definitely nice to see his MLG appearance wasn't a oneoff, and he's trying again. Flo being in there is good, I hope she goes at least a few good rounds. NonY being back on the scene after what seems like forever can only be good. ThorZaiN, DeMusliM, IdrA, Suppy, InControl and HuK making a showing is also fantastic.

Also, I'm really happy to see LookNoHands and Crank in there, those guys are fantastic.
In retrospect, I don't know how you can play StarCraft without swearing. - Eifer

They actually dont have to explain anything... and how did hero and stephano get screwed? If they wanna win the tournament, they gotta go through the best players anyways.

Weakest MLG talent wise in a long time, but still a strong line-up.

Since they were going to be at MLG anyway, they got the seeds.

This is a explanation that makes sense to some extent but you don't link a source either. Is this your assumption or did you hear that from MLG?
In the sources i trust they still state that there are 8 invited players.
They are also a lot of other scenarios that seem possible to me.
I guess the Kespa players would not have payed for their flight tickets on their own. As a result you can also argue that MLG could have flown in some good foreigners. But this is not the point i was making. I am just saying that this seems to be the worst sulotion and i listed some ideas in further posts that are better imho.


I don't get what's so hard to understand, there's no reason for you to be a massive dick.

Like i posted before its nothing personal against players from LighT.
Did I get personal or insult you? Or is it normal for you to call random ppl out to be a massive dick?

Ofc, it was a way of saying thing. Meaning that I'd really like to know how and why they chose those players.

The most disappointing about this is that Groups A-C have already determined the Championship Bracket.. Ryung should smash Group A being so many Terrans closely followed by Taeja and Alicia should smash group B at place himself at a nice round in the next round
