IPL had 1 really tough event. WCS is only super high level in Korea (and this is the first iteration?), and Dreamhack is nowhere near as competitive... very few koreans attend, and the ones that do arent the DRG/MKP/MVP's of the world. Soo what was your point? | ||

Not the super tournament seeds all turning their offers down? Not SC2 Confederation (or whatever the organization was before ESF) pulling out of NASL2? Inviting more North Americans in this particular MLG is the worst thing that has happened to the competitive sc2 scene? | ||

To be fair I would like to see even qualified players being able to compete. Even if they wont get a spot they could get the money or something added if they win. | ||

Nothing to do who got invited its about going from a competitive sc2 format where the best players will qualify and will deserve there spots to some kind of socialistic format where some players will take a pool spot even if they placed much lower then the other players. Its a joke. Lets talk about a scenario. Stephano and DRG gets 3nd place and 4rd place in this tournament. Now this is an incredible good placement and should be rewarded however since MKP won the tournament and Naniwa took 2nd. Stephano and DRG will not be able to qualify to pool play. Instead 2 top 20-25 will get there spots. If this isn't fucked up I don't know what is. And MLG Adam you wrong its a disgrace to any competitive sport. Invites and unfair seeding based on country and popularity got no place in any professional sport. Lets just call MLG what it is: Entertainment . Because now its surdenly not a competition or a sport. Thanks for making a mockery out of the sc2 scene MLG | ||

It's unfair to give one group of players an advantage in a competition. I don't care if there are three times as many ESF as Kespa players - if that happened in a system that was biased towards Kespa players, it means that the ESF player group as a whole deserves even more spots than that. No one is going to take MLG seriously as a sports-like competition if you don't take yourselves seriously first. Imagine if MLB gave the Yankees a 10 game handicap during the regular season because the owner of the Yankees refused to play under any other conditions. That's the same thing that's happening here, and the fact that the reaction against it isn't stronger is very good evidence that esports isn't a true sport yet. Please don't compare ESF players to the Yankees they don't have the money or the talent. Yes, this system will eventually bias the direction towards KESPA players and even now it does. So, what? Eventually KESPA will buy the talent off of the current ESF teams, so in the end the best players will be playing most regularly in MLG. | ||
