EPTnothing wrong with having invites and making an invitational
invitationals are biased. maybe I will see flash playing, other than that I will be with the eagles stream.

Adam, you may want to talk about making it a practice to post the players that were invited and declined. I think people would ask fewer questions about the process. I know there are reasons not to publish the invites, but it should be something that should be discussed. Everyone at least understands why players decline invites and people like it when events are up front. | ||

That's something that really remains to be seen, which is why we've decided to include 11 Maps in our Winter Season Showdowns. There's very little data when it comes to Maps being played in HotS tournaments. In fact, I would argue that there is none. Each Player is allowed 3 Vetoes in their Showdown and we will use the Veto/Results data from these Showdowns to decide on our Map Pool of 7 for the Winter Championship. | ||

Looks like a good way to do this. There is actually no way to know which maps are really good for HotS, as there are so few really top level players playing the beta seriously right now. | ||

My sincerest apologies for my reckless and uninformed opinion. Now THAT is interesting. Why on God's earth would you reject an invite on those grounds? I'm baffled. | ||

Adam, I am also pumped. You have a great line up and I am excited to see the show you folks put on. Are you folks streaming through Twitch? I hope so, since theirIphone app works with my Apple TV. If not, I will find another way to watch, but I have a 46 inch TV that really should have MLG on it. | ||

They say the reasons they can't do online quals/open bracket (which they have championed in the past) is because of instability across all the regions.. most people accept that. I don't really see anyone saying the reasoning for that isn't good enough. Then I read a bunch of vague posts about how the picks are biased and no open bracket is bad. When has an invite tourney EVER made everyone happy? It simply isn't possible.. so if we accept the reasoning for why the invites are there, can't we be happy for the tourney itself? I mean, they are doing a hybrid tourney in the sense that there is at least 1 round of qualification which means a full 2x people get a crack at this as opposed to just a straight invite to an offline tourney? Demu wasn't invited, our koreans... yet I can still look at this and say "ok." Ever wonder why Ddoro (inactive) and fenix are invited amongst others? Probably some point system behind that right? It isn't like MLG is super tight with Ddoro... come on. I am obviously very sad about no open bracket.. but after hearing their reasoning and thinking about it.. I have come to a place where I can accept this for Dallas. I know this thread doesn't speak for all of sc2 but I wish more of us would think on a more rational level as opposed to just jumping to boycott or get pissed  Geoff Robinson 2016 | ||

Thank you It will be streamed exclusively on Twitch and we have some pretty amazing broadcast details to share. I guarantee not a single person will bitch about it. | ||
