MLG to me is this big Starcraft festival where we gather in an LR thread to cheer and fool around while the stars play, and eagerly await for some surprising reports from the open (that's the most thrilling part). I wasn't interested in the office MLG's or the other side events. I want the festival. A HotS invitational is not it.

Maybe you will see someone post the sarcastic "omg he made a hots unit!!" every fifth game or so. We have seen it before in the previous beta tournaments and now when there's serious money on the line they will play the game as they know best how to. These players are probably not the right ones for a HotS release party. Or at least that's my big concern. Either way it will still be an event with some sick good Starcraft though. Maybe just not the kind some might hope for. | ||

Or is this completely different from the WoL one and everyone is just going ape shit because they still don't know what's suppose to replace the open bracket? Correct, it was announced long ago that this MLG is entirely HotS. This is the entire tournament. | ||

Wins a GSL Championship a year ago, falls to Code A the next season, stays in Code A for 2 more seasons, falls out of the GSL, requalifies, falls out of the GSL again, and doesn't win a single game in the Code A Preliminaries this season... Also he's never attended a MLG IIRC... Only foreign event he's been to is IPL4... Unless you count the online portion of Iron Squid 1...and GuMiho, who weirdly accepted an invite despite saying he's not going to attend any foreign events until he's a GSL Champion.The one questionable non-invite is  soO, the MvP Invitational Champion... | ||

So you pay for every player who can pull that kind of money out of their ass gets free trips? On February 01 2013 02:33 MLG_Adam wrote: Again. We want aspiration, we want open qualification, we want success stories, how can you say anything different based on our track record? This event is 3 days after a major content release. Qualification is taking place on BETA servers. We wanted to have open online qualification for this event but it was not a logistical reality. We are not done announcing 2013 plans. Have faith. Yet you brodcast all these games over a 2 week period a month before the actual tournament? Why not just do open brackets online during the weeks preceding the tourney. -____- I WAS gonna watch the whole weekend regardless of what you guys would announce but I think I'd rather watch any other starcraft event i see on teamliquid.net. And if there's nothing, I'll just watch some DotA or LoL ersomething. Even though i have no clue what they're doing. You wont get my tweets or views. | ||

We're playing the ro64 one match a weekday for a few weeks... Oh, and the ro64 is bo5s with the rest of the tournament being bo3s. Next thing MLG is going to tell us is Cloud Kingdom, Ohana, Daybreak, and Entombed are staying in the map pool for the main event and Bifrost and Planet S aren't the Neo versions... | ||

I heard they will bring back favorites like Steppes of War, Jungle Basin, etc back to celebrate the end of WoL. | ||

There isn't even a lower bracket... Apparently their double elimination bracket system they've been using since MLG Raleigh 2010 is flawed... | ||
