You know every player is playing every other player, right? There are six matches today with six more match days to follow. That's.... that's not 19-32 games, is that that is. Plus there are playoffs, which is eight additional match days.

am i too naive to think that MLG is still keeping friendly relationship with Gomtv?

can they just write news depend on real material and investment, bad job to make that kind of news even if they are true

Wow great job by ESF players. They were basically MLG's best friend, then MLG found kespa and just sold out and think they are too cool for ESF. I guess this just proves that nice guys finish last.

People don't like the automatic seed into the MLG procircuit without any qualification process.

Well too be fair MLG and GOM was not in the best relationship since Naniwa thing, and certainly after GSTL final @ IPL4.

Technically they did the qualification process through the actual format. so perhaps we should edit your post and remove the automatic seed with format with regards to your distaste for the process.

I personally have no opinion either way. But I certainly see peoples criticisms of the fact that an invite tournament provides seeding into the MLG pro circuit. Especially since the invitees haven't even played at a proper MLG tournament prior to this invite tournament.

mlg players have mlg experience, that was the point for their invite afaik. proleague players have their proleague experience and this tournament is merging of the two. why are people splitting hairs about this? as if these proleague players are no name scrubs.

Their problem is with the format.

MLG made the qualification part of this tournament. To say they have no qualification process is folly because it's part of the format.

Once again, we're talking about misplaced criticism.

I have more problem with # of seeding given out than anything else. It is a cross server glorified online show match involving 48 players, no matter how qualified they are. And I think most people agree it is not a bracket well suited for determining player's skill level. MLG is giving out 8 spots to group play from it somehow, which is 1/4 of total group spots if same format as previous championship. 2 I can totally agree to, 8 just seems a lot more like a publicity stunt than anything else.

Depends on how much significance you place on the competition from the hybrid proleague. Splitting hairs over 2 or 4 or watever seeds doesn't really matter to me; MLG can do what they want. ESF players can also feel like it isn't worth to them in terms of time and money and whatnot. The amount of interest will be shown in the viewer numbers.

EDIT: I personally am not going to watch this tournament because I don't think a cross-server tournament will show good games. The only reason I purchased the MLG arenas is due to the FPV of the players, since that isn't available, I don't think the tourny is worth the price point.

For your last point, Lee said on Lo3 that that would be available at some point, I think. I don't remember exactly, but he definitely brought up watching a match from Jaedong's perspective.

I'm sure these KeSPA players won't be able to make it out of the open brackets if they didn't get automatic seeds.
Since open brackets @ MLGs are so packed full of talented players and MLG players are dominating this tournament. lmao


The reason for the free seeds is to attract KeSPA players to MLG events. Why would Flash want to waste time preparing for the GSL or OSL to compete against minor league competition? He could probably find better competition at a random PC room.
