whatever the new format is, it will probably be something to limit the number of koreans from both ESF/Kespa. I remember how they were talking on SoTG holiday/drinking episode about how MLG was going to do more to stack the pool for NA/EU and promote them. I really hope this isn't the case, but we'll see.

Hm, I don't really think that I like this.

Cause of the Open Bracket so many histories were written and heroes and new face were lighted up !

it'll be taken over by kespa qualification, smaller bracket tournament open to kespa players, the winners will be seeded into the main tournament.

just saying, would be funny XD

So the poor non-pro people that join MLG brackets just to get stomped by some of their favorite player wont get their chance.

Obviously it's going to be a free for all fight to the death instead of an open bracket.

maybe not enough people sign up for sc2 anymore so they are forced to replace it with something else.

I feel bad for people who bought plane tickets to go compete in open bracket.

Having competed at two mlgs (raleigh 2011 and 2012), open bracket is one of the best things mlg has. Sure I was nowhere even close to the level of the pros when i played at those events, but it was still a lot of fun and really cool to be able to say that I competed. I hope they add it back in somehow or someway, especially with how many great players there are who don't get a lot of spotlight who also compete in the open brackets. The open bracket is how some players started their quest to fame, and it makes for some really exciting storylines to add to the weekend. Some of the coolest legendary runs have taken place at mlg events so whatever it is, I trust them that it will be great, but in the end, I would really like to see it come back

Sounds kinda lame. The open bracket was exciting. I hope they come up with something equally fun, but I have my doubts.

Hope it's not a step in the direction of de-emphasizing sc as the premiere esport at MLG in favour of League.

Extendet Series XXL ?

Just a question, MLG was the only big offline tournament where every casual can show up and try to beat the pros right?

That would be terrible and would make foreign tournaments even less interessting to me.
