Qualifiers in whatever format?

If this means MLG will finally again be able to stream all games I like this.


If it means they stream more games that is good because at the moment the number of games streamed is relatively poor.

You know there are 4 streams live simultaneously? MLG broadcasts a shitton of games. I can't think of a tournament that streams more games.

I know, there are lots of games but there are times when some of the streams were just shots of the crowd whilst there were games going on, hopefully they could remove that even if there isn't casting.

Not that I'm complaining about MLG quality, it's excellent, but always strive to improve huh?

Sucks for skilled players which are not invited/popular enough, especially south korean players ripping up the bracket. If they try to get more foreigners in later stages with such an strategy, they will fall skill wise even more behind to GSL/OSL.

About HotS: At least dont give points for the winner of the first MLG, or we gonna see bad players staying in groups way too easy. (Anybody remember Incontrol staying in groups a long time cause of a 4th place, dont really makes the tournament better)

Edit: But we all should wait and see i guess.

This was one of the only ways for people to break out onto the scene. I loved the OB storylines better than the championship storylines sometimes...

Hope what's coming is still giving a chance to new players to show what they can do!

To be fair, most players (with a few exceptions) that went through the open bracket were well-established good players. It's a big pain in the ass to organize and it's hell for players only to get a fairly predictable outcome. It can be fun sure but I can understand why MLG wants something different. I just hope it doesn't screw the up and coming players (or just good players that want to participate in individual MLG's) too much. I'll reserve judgement until I see what they got planned.

Ah TL.. Where people immediately jump to conclusions and start nay-saying without knowing the entire story yet.

Perhaps MLG has an ONLINE open tournament planned prior to the event. Similar to NASL.

Never posted on TL before, been a long time lurker, but i actually think not having an open bracket could open the tourny up to many cool things. What i'm most upset about is that the winter championship is in Dallas and not columbus As a poor east cost college student i can only afford 1 trip a year and not a far one at that gonna miss mlg columbus.

Hopefully this is only because its a championship and not something they will be doing long term, even if it is an online qualifier taking its spot. Online qualifiers are a lot different than in person LANs. Plus it was fun to think that one day I might try my hand at the open bracket.

End of an era...

I know it's a pain in the ass to set up 128 gaming computers at every event, setting up routers, switches, wiring, making sure there's no lag and everyone has a working internet connection, but there was something special about MLG, being the only tournament where you would be able to play live against a pro sitting right next to you for just $70.

They need to have something really good to replace this (online qualifiers are not it, btw!)

Probably, but it has always been a lot more boring than the live open bracket. Sadly MLG hasn't really been able to utilize the open bracket much, since they somehow never get anyone to spectate cool open bracket games. Hopefully something cool is going to replace it and not online open qualifier

You can't just "show games even if there isn't casting". You need an observer unless you want to broadcast an FPVOD which is nearly unwatchable in the case of most toptier pros.

Seems like at least players already know what the new format will be like.

Maybe someone can leak it to Slasher or something.
