The Open Bracket was amazingly awesome. I honestly can't think of a better replacement and that is the problem.

We'll see what happens.

Woah, I really don't like that, That was my favorite part of MLG I enjoyed playing in it way more than watching.

I really miss the MLG2011 format with open bracket, the 4 winner of the open bracket went into 4 6man group and the (other) 4 runner up played against 6th placed player from the 6man group etc.
MLG2012 format was really boring for me.

I hope the MLG 2013 format is much better than the 2012 one.

"in order to play in the tournament: you must beat ST_Bomber"

wondering what they're going to do though...

I hope there is some kind of open online qualifier and not an invite tournament.

The open bracket was one of the most interesting things about MLG. ._.

No open bracket sucks, it makes it not worth travelling too, but hopefully Sundance pulls of something like a Kespa/GSL/Dreamhack side tournament for the tournament grounds to be more lively.

so because you cant think of it means it doesnt exist? thats incredibly short sighted.

I wholeheartedly hope this isn't his plan. I've gotta agree with IdrA, it's pretty unfair to players to expect them to perform in more than one tournament simultaneously.

I'm glad, these huge open brackets have always been a complete failure.

This mlg will be a single elimination tournament, beginning with 16 players. Instead of a best of x for each match, there will a best of 2*n+3, where n is the number of times the players have played eachother in previous offline tournaments. This will create extra mindgames and revitalises storylines of the past.

on a more serious note:

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?
I think an open bracket would indeed fit this situation even better then normal.

But maybe their alternative is better, i'm pretty curious as to what they're doing instead.

Open tournaments are extremely beneficial to the scene and to eSports as a whole. So they announce the lack of open bracket, but do not announce its replacement or whatever it will be. Classy move MLG.

It will be one 500000 minute long match where players are taking over from each other every two minutes on the fastest map possible.

One of the highest viewed moment of the last MLG (might have been the highest) was Flash vs Naniwa. Darkhorses dont draw viewers. People dont tune in to see people they havnt heard of, they tune in to see hyped matches and that was a hyped match.
