If there is no open it's kinda not what I think of as MLG anymore, dunno.

I hopingly predict that it translates into an online tournament for # play-ins as early rounds, and then the weekend translates into rounds 3 or 4 through championship.

MLG is always good, so I'm not worried.

What if an open group stage is replacing the open bracket?

I hate when they announce a meaningless announcement. Just give the info with a pretty mlg heading and play. My theories are. Ranked 23 players in a bracket. Maybe crazy group play. I bet with the parter ship of leagues they all will use a similar system for a tournament so that's why mugs mass open bracket may have died.

So far over the past few weeks everything that I think of as MLG has basically been stripped away which makes me wonder why exactly they are taking away yet another thing that personifies them and thats the open bracket.

The open bracket was the one thing that made MLG special and better in IPL in that regard. Now I see no reason why IPL won't be the top NA tournament of 2013.

Sounds pretty boring to me. I know the open brackets don't usually pull in that much in terms of viewers, compared to only having known pros participate, but it added something to the feel of MLG that I think will be sorely missed without the open bracket. Everyone loves to see the underdog, but MLG has pretty much completely shut out the chances of one of those story lines.

One has to wonder what they were thinking, especially because I think story lines are more important now than ever to the growth of e-sports.

Judgement: Stupid move, in my opinion.


Yeah... this is really bad. The Open Bracket was the reason I got a Gold Membership, so I could watch the extra streams and see awesome stuff like MKP lose a game to WBC. That makes me sad I won't get to see an Open Bracket anymore.. MLG Championships were my favorite events too, and the only ones I pay for anymore.

Maybe I should look into the GSL again.

Sundance ought to know better than to announce no open bracket without an immediate followup, the rumor mill and the court of public opinion are going to go nuts.


He only did it cause Desrow leaked it on twitter like 3 days ago...

Sundance said he was gonna announce it today before I said anything.

Color me not surprised. MLG doesn't want to deal with unknowns beating established pros because of the early volatility of HOTS.


Why would MLG forbid an unknown player comes up with a solid build out and starts taking games off Koreans in a new game? Would that not bring drama and excitement (viewers) to the scene?
