Also, keep in mind that qualifiers only happen once a season, so that is $20 once every few months, with a chance for a huge return payout. The fee makes the qualifier more legitimate and has MLG_Adam said, the fee will make "those wishing to participate" take the games more seriously. Interesting, it is not necessary on korea or europe, but you are willing to take it. That's hilarious. | ||

Maybe that won't happen, but I prefer that events try to put systems in place to assure that only the people who give a shit sign up. Even if there are alot of trolls on EU, by the round of 32 there will be no more walkovers, neither in the form of players not showing up for the game, nor in the form of players who think they can play sc2 with their forehead.  | ||

The MLG challenger league has 16 + 24. So the first round will be the round of 24, the second round will be the round of 20 and the third round will be the round of 18? That would only end up with 9 players getting into Premier to join the 8 that remain, and 19 players competing in the up and downs. Therefore: 15 out of the 19 players in the up and downs would advance to premier. That cannot be right. | ||

Challenger (Code A) is 16 from qualifiers and 24 from Premier (Code S), so the total is 40, not 68. This is very similar to GSL, if you want to look at their brackets and see how it works. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2013_WCS_Season_1_Korea_GSL | ||

And for people saying 20$ is nothing, look at it this way you wouldn't just randomly set it a 20$ bill on fire, and this is exactly what MLG is asking a bunch of people to do, because in reality only 20-30 people have any chance of qualifying. you wouldn't randomly set a $20 bill on fire, and that's exactly the point, they don't want a random scrub to just randomly sign up because they can. If you are serious about SC2, you would save 1 dollar per day for 20 days. | ||

This $20 fee kills up and coming players and is unnecesary, filtering by league is way more smarter. Mr. GM #58 may have a small chance to grab some points at this, but maybe he doesn't want to risk 20 bucks on a long shot. Does that mean he would ruin the tournament by joining it by free? NO. | ||

BYEs and gold league sing-ups have been around since EVER and it has never been an issue. TL open, playhem tourneys, zotac cups, who cares about BYEs, it doesn't ruin anything, you can't "troll" the MLG by singing up, that's retarded.

NO. this just in - saving 50 cents a day for 40 days kills up-and-coming players | ||

I think what most of us are implying is that if $20 is a prohibitive financial issue for you, perhaps esports isn't your biggest problem at the moment. | ||

This is very similar to GSL, if you want to look at their brackets and see how it works. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2013_WCS_Season_1_Korea_GSL I know, but in the GSL Code A is 40 from Code B qualifiers or Up and Downs and 8 from code S to make a round of 48, then 8 more from code S to make a round of 32 and finally 8 more from code S to make the round of 24. That is 68 players total. Typically around 18 players will go from up and downs to code A, which still leaves around 22 spots from the qualifiers (it varies every season). The MLG Challngers (code A) does not look big enough to have 24 players drop from code S to code A during the season. | ||

Its not even an offline qualifier so i dont think that there is anything that could convince me of the necessity of this extra fee. | ||
