Online regional qualifiers mhmh
But the open brackets brought so many great stories i dunno how i feel about them not being anymore.They were a reason for semi pro`s and gamers to go and participate in an offline event.

People will probably be immediately angry until Sundance elaborates on this. I have faith in him though


Same here. The open bracket seemed like a nightmare to run along side an event, let alone play in. I did not like them because at all and think they really limited what MLG could do at any given event. Qualifiers are likely the best route for MLG going forward.

An open ladder that day would be awesome, where gamers just play against each other in a round robin fashion

Funny that they would get rid of the open bracket when they have had numerous winners of their tournaments come from there.

Hopefully there's an online qualifier so maybe we can actually watch some of the matches and there is a chance for a sweet run through the open bracket to become more of a story.

Hm, I'll wait and see what they have planned before I make up my mind. Open brackets are almost a trademark of MLG imo, it's what gives it that special MLGish feeling if you know what I mean. It will be hard to replace...

I loved the chance of someone in open bracket breaking out ''/ I always watched the brackets to see who was doing well.

I wonder what it'll be. I'll reserve judgment until they announce what's coming up.

One can only hope. Still waiting for a top tournament to use swiss format...
I should warn you, getting what you want and being happy are two quite different things.
