I dunno man, only 3 Europeans. So it will basically only be Korean vs Korean, American vs American and Koreans stomping Americans.

MLG is North America's premier tournament so at least its a good opportunity to give many of those players a shot at the big leagues.

That's not the issue. I'm sure they wanted to come, but it's super crucial games in PL for every single team except Ace and KT, and Ace can't go anyway.

Bummer, I was looking forward to this, now its just.. to quote:
This MLG went from "must watch" to "might watch".
He had the same don't-give-a-f*** attitude from his stream, where he all-ins every game and shamelessly plays three ads.

Well I am confused by some people getting seeds in pool play, but i guess this is good for NA scene. Only 6 people form EU is kinda shame, oh well.
Nothing to add.

MLG conflicts with the last matchday of Proleague I think (or at least that's what I read). So Kespa players not going to MLG is probably for the best.

Although feel free to invite any of the ACE players. =P

Why is Qxc in this? He went 0:4 in the Summer Arena. On which system were those seeds determined?
edit: nvm, not apparently all spots are Summer Arena seeds.

Edit: Cool Binski AND Caliber!!! LighT fighting!!!


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.

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?


Well, your raffle comment was kind of insulting. Yes, there are other ways to handle the extra spots but MLG chose this one. If you ask 10 diifferent people, they would have 10 different 'fair' solutions...

And have their invites turned down as ACE doesn't care about anything but Korea considering who their major sponsor is.

And for us foreign fans, MLG might be a huge event. But PL is much more important to the Kespa players.

Well, sadly not everybody is part of a team who is wealthy enough to send you overseas to compete in a tournament.
Even though you yourself might be better than a couple of players on that team. :-/

Seed 3 & 5 and 4 & 6 together. Why?

By any logic, 3 & 6 and 4 & 5 should be in the same groups. This is an disadvantage to seed 3 compared to seed 4. It makes no sense.


you're right that does seem strange

The raffle idea was a exaggeration. I think (at least i hope) most people don't believe that i expect this to really happen.
I don't see this insulting Xeris so.

This is true. I just expressed my opinion that i think it was the worst solution. If you think it was the best solution you can throw in some arguments and we can have a nice discussion.
Or we just agree on that we have different opinions depending that matter.
