In response to the poll question, why not have a qualifier system somewhat like last year's qualifiers for the WCS. You could have some regional offline qualifiers (with prize money!?) giving something like 12 of the 16 spots, restricted to citizens of those regions. The other spots could be given out in open qualifiers.

So something like US 4 spots, Canada 3 spots, Mexico and Central America 3 spots, South America 2 spots, open qualifiers 4 spots. Maybe there could even be smaller local qualifiers into each of the regional qualifiers.

This would keep the regions "regional" but still allow people from other areas of the world to qualify in the region of their choice.

Seems a bit weird to have it double elimination to be honest, not like you'll have a chance to qualify anyway if you lose in the first 3 rounds because you would have to win 100 Bo3s to make it, and it will delay the tournament a lot. But will be an interesting tournament to follow anyway.



I like EU system better it seems like they have 4 qualfiers and just take the top 2 from each.


MLG has 5 days to figure it out a way to do it. After two days, the players will be such zombies. I kinda want to do the math of the minimum and maximum number of games that can be played by someone in these.


If there are 512 in the draw, you have to win 7 matches to make it to the winner's bracket semifinals and be guaranteed a top 8 finish.

If you lose first round, you have to win 12 backdraw matches to make it to the loser's bracket semifinals and get a 5-8 spot.

So minimum number of matches is 7, maximum number of matches is 13.

They are all best of three, so you would need to win two games to advance each time. So the minimum is 14 games? I guess that not to terrible.

Thanks for catching that. I meant matches, not games. Changed my post to reflect that. So yeah, the minimum is 14 games won. The maximum would be 25 games won (12 x 2 = 24 backdraw wins, plus losing your first match in the first round 2-1). The maximum number of games total would be 39 (losing first round 2-1 and winning all the backdraw matches 2-1).

Keep in mind you have to wait for the other BO3 to finish and in worse case scenarios all your opponents would play 3 long macro games ^^

I have a question : in the GSL Code S, the 4th of each group falls into Code A Ro48 while the third falls to Code A Ro32. Here, for WCS NA and also WCS EU, it seems the 3rd and 4th of each Premier Division group will fall to the first round of Challenger Division.

How comes when WCS is supposed to be the same format everywhere ? Does anybody have precisions on this (and I mean reliable please, not just guesses) ?

Thank in advance

As someone posted before. EU is quad elimination bracket (if you manage to secure spot during check in in all 4 qualifiers). If you lose 4 times you are out of this season of qualifiers

For some reason, I'm really excited to watch the open qualifiers. Watching close games between people I've never heard of, who are playing their hearts out just seems very similar to NCAA sports. I've always preferred NCAA football to NFL- the level of competition is a bit lower, but those guys are really playing their hearts out, instead of just getting their paychecks.

Very important:

Does anyone know if WCS season 1 will be available on Android devices? I'm using android micropcs with HDMI out to run Twitch on my TVs at home, but the last MLG was blocked on Android (which I hated, Sundance). Hopefully this will be available on Android, I can't wait to watch.

True...he can only play in the challenger league qualifier to get into challenger because he can't get into premier this league

Worst case scenario, download Firefox browser and install flash plugin. Instructions Bypass the app/block altogether.

You have to create a team to sign up - a team means nothing, it is basically a username for this specific tournament...so doesn't matter if you are or aren't on a team or really w.e you put.

If you have problem check the rules page for information (posted in OP)

Well, there are more than 1024 people signed up, but MLG is sticking to their 512 players max!

I hope you registered early! because that is the order for which people will be getting in (after reserve spots)

Geee, I wonder why they wanted that $20 fee. That is so many people, I hope the players who are the most serious signed up early.
