This might sound silly, but If the NA scene was absolutely dead with zero competitive players, I could understand MLG insisting on having 8NA 8EU 8KR, just because it's equitable and a good way to analyze where each community is at.
But very blatantly forcing more NA players than far more competitive communities for no legitimate competitive reason is, simply put, stupid. How did someone think this would be the right choice? Having 8 participants from every reason is already favouring NA. Having more is just tomfoolery.
8NA 8EU 8KR makes more sense, as it is equitable.
6NA 12EU 6KR makes more sense, as it provides more foreigner vs korean games without drastically reducing the competitive quality of the matches.
6NA 6EU 12KR makes more sense, as it would provide the highest quality of play.
12NA 6EU 6KR makes the least amount of sense possible. I don't see how it could be a sponsor thing. Would having
Socke, Dimaga, Whitera, Goody, Bly, Nightend, etc.
instead of
tt1, goswser, hawk, etc.
really have a negative impact on sponsorship exposure to target audiences? I really don't think so. If there's another reason for the NA favouritism I'd really like to hear it.
All that aside, this is going to be fucking awesome.
Yep this pretty much sums it up. MLG, it is not too late to reconsider the distribution of invites, do the right thing!

24 Kespa players vs max. 6 ESF players...
So Kespa does get off a final fuck you, after all.
|
Wait I don't get it. So is it kespa vs. kespa and na vs. na first etc? Or do you just play an open tournament and then the best 4 kespa players etc. qualify!?

Online league, the competition is just too widespread (12 NA players? cmon) and we don't need this online league anymore to watch these KeSPA players. We already have OSL, GSL and Proleague. On top of that we also have WCS, WCG, Dreamhack and other tournaments running so close upon each other that you get fucking sick and tired of the game (at least I do).
And my guess is that you will have to pay to watch this, or at least pay to have decent quality, no? So it is just another thing to pay for. Will probably just watch if there is some really big match, but ye gl everyone.

wait all proleague members will be kespa sanctioned?
what if top 4 is non kespa koreans?

It's taken from the current Proleague top 24 Starcraft II rank. next season might be different, but this is the first iteration of the MvP program.
Also, to clarify, KeSPA plays NA/EU/KrT and vice versa. There's no inside a region play until the playoffs. More details on format and such later. We'll also be announcing the NA/EU/KrT players as they finalize. That list is pretty solid too.
For those folks bashing NA players. Come on, show some love.

The top eight will include four KeSPA players, two from North America, one from EU and one from Korea/Taiwan. So are the KeSPA players actually playing against the NA, EU and KR players or are they just playing each other? Otherwise it'll seem a bit silly to have somebody who goes out in the first round make the championships, just because they were from NA and all NA did badly. They all play each other. So if all the NA pros go out in the Ro48, 2 players from the Ro48 qualify for the Fall Championship group play? That seems a little silly. I agree! I hope this is not the case - i'm quite confused about this format, particulary that line you originally quoted. Hopefully this gets explained in full detail. Otherwise, this looks really cool and i'm really looking forward to it =) Fun idea heh
I am pretty sure that the top eight that they're talking about in Yonnua's quote are the online qualifiers and that the top eight from this MvP tournament also gets a spot in the Fall Championships.
Could be wrong though.

I think cross-server play might be a problem for the kespa guys, because they are not used to it.

Agreed, I think there is some really good players,
Scarlet, Idra, TT1, Huk, Vibe, Select, Major, Slush, Illusion.... Plus Catz always makes for entertaining games =P
im looking forward to it.
Plus MLG is an American Tournament for an mostly american Audience, and lets face it, whether you like it or not, tournaments get more exposure when there are local players playing. But its going to depend entirely on the picks, Scarlet is far and away the best NA player, but she hasnt played in any MLG's this season so I'm not sure if would qualify.

LG-IM MVP... MVP DongRaeGu.... MvP tournament lololol.

Sick news and just yesterday I bought tickets for Dallas which will be my first live esorts event  .

Agree with GTR, bit disappointing for the 'secret project', but it should still be really interesting.
|
What happened to the MLG Fall Arena which was supposed to start October 5th o.o
|
This a north american league, i'm ok with more NA people in their league, it makes sense!
Come one.. doesn't ROG, Dreamhack, ESWC etc. have way more euros?
|
SO many snubs...
No Leta...No Sea..No Light, No reality...No Snow....
Where's the love for the terrans!?
|
Will this be replacing MLG Arenas seeing as it is providing seeds for the groups?
