Flash and MKP. I think he mislabeled a player.

I'm glad you invited Flash for more terran's and he is Flash but it does lookout of place compared to what everyone else has done, winning a meaningless show match qualifiers you :/ Looking forward to some of the match's, sad Parting/Life got a team kill. | ||

Not to keep defending Flash but he did have these MLG results: -Won the KESPA Anaheim Invitational -Made it to the Quarter Finals of MVP losing to eventual champion Soo (with a 39-9 regular season record) -Placed 4th at MLG Dallas, winning his initial match up against eventual champion Life before being knocked out by him in a rematch, and taking out the following players: Grubby, Thestc, Naniwa | ||

This is the first foray into more frequent FREE high level competition. I'd recommend looking at the NASL and IPL formats; they do a lot of content frequently along the nightly program format. (Yeah, I know, they are competitors, but they do a lot of things right along those lines. Ya'll do a great job with major LAN events. There's room for improvement everywhere, and I'm sure you could come up with interesting differences and touches to make MLG an attractive choice for viewers.) The pre-show with Axslav is a good start. Plus, you have access to a very well known player pool. Hoping to catch some really awesome games. Question - VODs available too? :D | ||

But there's not a ton of rhyme or reason to how the players were selected. I get that it's a bunch of people who won MLG events and the one KeSPA event and the one Blizzard event. Yet it's a little silly to call Flash a champion when there's no mention of viOlet who won the Spring Arena that anybody cared about. I mean, this is great content, and I'm sure it'll be fun to watch, but it doesn't mean anything. Anyone can give out X amount of money and find players who are champions of something to play a tournament. What does this tournament mean? Does it crown a champion of the 2012 MLG Season? If so, why is it such a low key event? Does it kick off the 2013 season by giving out seeding or something? Clearly not. So what is it? It's a time sink. It's a way to get eyeballs on your stuff with minimal effort or interest. People will tune in, if you guys are lucky there'll be good games, and it'll get more attention. But I (personally, I'm not speaking for anyone else here) am really exhausted from events like this. It just cheapens the real tournaments. If DongRaeGu and Flash meet in some LAN, it's that much less epic because tournaments like this essentially say; "Hey guess what, we can just pick whoever we want, get them to play each other, and be done with it." This is the one night stand of tournaments, except it takes three weeks. | ||

January 2013 we'll be rolling out a very awesome league related broadcast schedule | ||

I actually prefer online tournaments in HD over offline PPV events. Seems like a lot of wasted money to fly in all the players for a small event. | ||

I could spin this the opposite way from how you painted it, but I don't think it will do any good. I will say that we're incredibly excited to hold this event and we do feel it is a valid tournament with valid reasoning on why the competitors were selected. | ||
