It is pretty clear both of you did not read the thread in any way.

really happy to have such a stacked tournament with such a large prize pool just a few days after the release!

totally understand why there is no open bracket due to the situation. though, maybe you should have put 2-3 spots up for open qualifiers (at least to calm down all the haters..).

Yeah me too... this replacement of the open bracket is... well nothing really replaced it.


....right

because you all enjoyed watching watching games like HuK vs NadaViking, TubbyTheFat vs Crank, and Daisuki vs Kirschke so much

Completely agree. I don't know what is the fuzz about not having open brackets. I've never enjoyed them personally, I only care about pro level entertaining matches, and I didn't watch any "pro vs. unknown player" match in these tournaments. Also, I understand that some people that aren't pros wanted to play in the open qualifiers, but I guess it is win-win situation for me, as long as there are many good names.

And btw Adam, keep up the good work. Tournament is going to be great, you can't please everybody. I will certainly watch it, since this will probably be the first HOTS tournament!


For me, its not the lack of an open bracket so much as the lack of any chance for an upcomer to actually show anything. Even if they did some kind of satellite into a showdown for a certain number of places I would be happy tbh... I just really dislike this approach

A lot of this shitstorm could have been avoided by giving the community more reasonings behind the decisions. Listing players that have declined their invites would have been a good start.

Ditto to this. Extremely disappointed there is no open bracket. Last Fall was so much fun to participate in. Might not even go.

No open bracket for a game that is not released. That blows and I am disappointed.

Or the shitstorm didnt have to be created in the first place, if you dont like this decision just simply dont watch it, what's the problem.

Was there a reason given why we can't have an on-location open bracket? I understand the reasoning behind the online qualifiers...

The first HotS LAN right after release; People who say they're not gonna watch are lying.

I'm sure it's gonna be a great tournament because, you know, all MLG LAN's have been great.
I Protoss winner, could it be?

MLG puts on the best tournaments and will continue to do so throughout 2013. Very excited about this.

TubbyTheFat is great btw.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

I'll be watching regardless. I don't have a problem with open bracket being axed for this installment, I'm sure it'll be back.

People would freak out no matter what. There is a large part of the community lives for the drama and complaining about minor things that don't really matter. MLG was never going to make everyone happy, so they should just release the info and put on a show for the people who want to enjoy SC2.
