@HawkSC2 I declined my invitation to the MLG 2013 winter season. I am retired for now.
NA invites confirmed (along with sad news)
|
I think they saw the success of FFA matches in other tournaments, and they will replace the open bracket with a big series of FFA matches.

People should chillax, Sundance is smarter than announcing no open bracket without having an amazing plan in store.

What could possibly replace open brackets? :/ 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? 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.
I do believe that an observer following a game being broadcasted is exactly a game without casting is it not?

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. You don't even know what they're planning and you're already judging them. Now THAT is a stupid move.

Considering what players like are tweeting about it, doesn't sound good. Sounds like new comers are going to get screwed over. THAT IS SO MUCH BETTER!

I think Desrow already tweeted this a few days ago, and Sundance only announced this in response to that tweet?

I've been hitting the HOTS ladder later 2012 for this upcoming MLG. Now its all gones. how can they remove the only thing that made them famous. 'Luckcly i din't bought the plane tickets, i still can't coup with the news. what can this new stuff be? will they put the arenas as qualifiers?
MLG are fucking up

Agree. It creates chaos and massive question flow.

It was alot of hassle to run that bracket in few days and then place them in pool to play against every opponent of that group. That must be the only reason the ditched it. People even got disqualified cause they came few minutes late to their OB match if I rememer right? Too tight schedule. I wouldnt worry too much, most likely its gonna be done online prior the event or something along the lines.

I guess MLG had to do something to make sure that some EG-players still have a chance and i predict some sort of invitation for fan-favourites.
Edit: Didn't read the whole thread at first and as it seems exactly my prediction is becoming true :-(
Edit2: ESL is handling this so much better with their qualifiers.

The "common man" being able to sign up and play versus the pros, and the high masters guy having a very good day making it a little farther than expected, are why I attend MLG's. I was actually planning on flying to a few of them this year (I live near Dallas, so that is usually a no brainer).
If they eliminate the open bracket (and honestly I don't care what the replacement is), I will not only not attend Dallas and other MLGs, I will not purchase the subscription. I am currently a gold member. I figure I should get this sentiment out there, I am sure there are plenty of others that feel the same way.

I really liked the open bracket :< damn
|
no open bracket is sad to hear imo, it gave the illusion that anyone could show up and win big money. of course you couldn't, but your could dream...and im also sure im not the only one who spent many a MLG praying that a personal favorite, relatively unknown player would pull a miracle and make it through the open bracket.
oh well though, maybe this "something knew" will be better, but im not gonna get my hopes up. you guys remember when sundance was hinting at 7 figure prize pools? i have a feeling this will live up to the hype about as much as that did.
