Good  Didn't really expect it to occur anyway (at least, for the main championship events). MLG Adam, does the streamlining of the competition structure imply that MLG may finally get rid of the double elimination + extended series format? Or that, in general, DH, ESL and MLG will all share the same format for their tournament (whatever that may end up being)? | ||

Great to see them come together. Imagine the sponsorship opportunities and the ways in which this will help the teams and players grow.. Great stuff! Haven't we all? | ||

I can say with 99% confidence that extended series will not be present for SC2 next year. Stay tuned for details. | ||

Hoping IGN and NASL will come along later, even if they are more online league than offline events organisations. | ||

Wow!! Seems like a complete reversal from the 2012 model ... a really welocme change! There are 2 points that I would love to see more detail about. First would be how this will affect HD passes like MLG gold membership? Will there be a global pass or will each tournament still administer that individually? It also seems like MLG will be changing their tournament format. Could this be the end of the marathon open brackets and the end of the extended series? | ||

About god damn time that SOMEONE tries to fix the problems of tournament overload, both for players and for fans. Hopefully they put this all up on a public website so we can all see the schedule, etc. :D | ||

Double elimination is the bane of SC2 right now. To many games, to hard to plan, do difficult to broadcast. I would rather watch 50 awesome elimination games in a weekend than 250 games, some that are not broadcast. It hard to follow, brutal on the players and just leads to generic, run of the mill, substandard games. | ||

Stay tuned for more soon. does this includ every game from the open bracket? if so, this gonna need alot of stream | ||
