As ive done both(granted small tournament but w/e there isnt much atm MLG is the first big event for it lol)... Just seems like claiming " top StarCraft II players in the world based on recent performances playing StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm" is kind of flawed and its just a sheer invitational everyone that's popular or did well in MLG with WoL with that player list. regardless was expecting for some form of announcement to make up for the lack of open bracket, And as a competitor what is my Gold membership now useful for? As clearly I cant compete or sign up for anything now... making my gold relatively useless. "broke rank 2" lololol | ||

Broadcast: February 4 –March 8: 28 Matches, 28 Days broadcast each weekday at 5pm ET and select Sundays online and Twitch. Schedule below and online. Does it means the Beta will still be open on March 8th ? o_O Or Blizzard will let the beta opened for these MLG players ? Can you please answer me ? I have a LAN to organize on March 3rd and I would like to know if HoTS beta will be available or not. | ||

Hwangsin and Jookto? 2 of the players on that list are in Code S, 2 are in Code A, the other two have more accomplishments in SC2 in the last few months alone, than Hwangsin and Jookto have had in their entire careers. If I as a viewer am going to pay to watch a tournament, who do you think I want to see in the category of Koreans on foreigner teams? I was just thinking since the category is titled "Independent/Western (3) - 6 Western + Independent Korean players" There's nothing "Western" about putting a jersey on and staying in Korea. I would think the category lends itself to Korean players who leave Korea to live abroad: Hwangsin StC JookTo Yong JYP PuMa GanZi ViOLet Polt etc Otherwise why don't we just title it "Make sure TeamLiquid's Koreans can get to MLG Category" | ||

That was not possible with a large open bracket across multiple regions spanning a long period of time. Adam, I agree with everything you are saying and it might be a nightmare trying to set up an event 3 days after the release of HotS. The only thing worse than not having an Open Bracket would be trying to run one and having it crash and burn because of some problem with HotS that is beyond your control. I glad to hear you guys are focusing on putting on the highest quality show possible for HotS, rather than assuming that it will all just work day one. Though I respect that people are disappointed, there are limits to what these MLG can do with HotS being released 3 days befor the event. It is only one event and rather than being upset that the open bracket isn't there, folks should be reassured that MLG is taking the time to make sure we get a smooth show. | ||

Didn't Hwangsin, theStC, Puma and JYP just play in the Code A qualifiers? Violet and Polt are already invited. So that leaves only your players. You can run a poll and ask how many people want to see Yong instead of MC, I doubt it'll turn out in your favor though. | ||
