I'll definitely enjoy watching this, one heck of a lineup! Appreciate the free HD. I'm hoping that each night lasts for at least a few hours....those 5/6 ET starts are hard for us west coasters...

This is modern SC2, 1 week in advance, a 7000$ tournament ! Crazy world 
|
It's Flash, man. Even after the recent MLG people still underestimate him but he's getting stronger every month. It will be great match for sure.
For Europeans the time is a bit late, maybe you'd get more viewers with restreams next day like NASL does. Finding some time on weekdays is always problematic but I'll make sure to watch at least few games.

Maybe change the title of the topic to some more internationally understood format. This "12/3" looks really weird and I totally didn't get what it meant before I read the first post.
|
Sounds like some good high level matches, I'll probably be tuning in for the terran ones but.... seems a bit out of place for players with such star power to be in a small side tournament. I'd much prefer content focused on the NA scene and up n comers. It would be great to offer more exposure to those grinding out games trying to make it big, I know I'd be more likely to watch regular na scene coverage. You dont even need a huge prizepool as an incentive for them to bring their A game and put on a good show.

GSL doesn't exist? Are we at this stage already?
Even if you don't invite people based on GSL victories, you could at least acknowledge that Life won 2012 GSL Season 4.

Not even close to the case. We were recognizing MLG champions as to why they were invited. Parting and Rain had their 'championship' listed to show what event they won in 2012 as they were replacing Violet and Taeja. GSL is a highly prestigious event, and we definitely respect/recognize their results.

First gamer problem: way too many tournaments these days, it lacks of flavour.

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. Violet and Taeja declined to participate. 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. I've got your next tournament:
MLG Foreigner Hero
NaNiwa, BabyKnight, Stephano, Sasquatch, SaSe, mOOnGlaDe, HuK, Socke are the players. They're the top two non-Korean players at every seasonal championship. (BK and MG tied, but Stephano repeated in the top two, so it works out.)

So why doesn't it say Life (Fall Championship, GSL Season 4), like the others with multiple tournament wins. I know it's a small thing but still.

Flash is definitely better than DRG. He could probably win this.

You don't like reading, do you?
And better yet, why not name the OSLs and MSLs of Flash, the GSL DRG won and so on while you're at it?

This plan is superior to all other plans, including the current one. Make this happen and you have my money.

Flash's TvZ has looked very stubborn.

Also, DongRaeGu is still a beast - especially in ZvT. Think he will dominate flash.

This is great news! I can't wait to see the games thankfully this isn't PPV i missed out on all of the MVP invitational.
|
Why on Taeja? If you adding MKP because he won an arena? Why not Violet and Taeja? But anyways it looks awesome, cannot wait.
Edit: I didn't read that Taeja and violet declined. I'm am sad that they did so. ㅉ
Anyways it looks awesome. Thanks for the Free HD you guys at MLG are awesome.
