This reminds me of the first time Pride fighters came to the UFC. Not sure why.


This is much like how I feel about UFC. Without fedor UFC doesn't feel complete. This tournament doesn't have MVP therefore somewhat incomplete.

I hope Rain takes this. This is going to be very different though. 5 hours of continuous competitive gaming is no joke. He's going to have to maintain his focus and keep his fundamentals strong.


5 hours is an understatement. I wish that it was only 5 hours lol... I competed in MLG raleigh and day one took almost 6 hours. and then day 2 took almost 9 till I was done( i didnt even make it through all of saturday before being elimed)... And its not easy getting food and staying focused from match to the next, especially when all my matches ran long and didnt get much of any break in the end. I say this because people underestimate the amount of strain an event like this and what players go through to make that attempt to fight it out of that open bracket. Im hoping rain prepared for something grueling like that, as I really want him to go deep in this. Same with all the other tosses like SSON and MC. Been watching SSON's stream alot and im just not sure how well he will do in an event like this, he has the potential to go far.

This.

MLG's Open Bracket is GRUELING. After the first 2/3 rounds (once it's all done in one heat) it becomes a literal marathon. Players barely have time to use the restroom, let alone eat. It's really really tough on even the most seasoned players.
Dallas is a stacked field and EVERY match will take something out of the players.

Whoever makes it out of the Open Bracket into Pool Play has huge amounts of respect from me.


Leenock won MLG Providence straight from the Open Bracket.
He won MLG summer from group stages.

Only person to do so post-Korean invasion.

both were open bracket
