iirc Machine is the only EG player who did not go pretty far in this tournament. Don't understand your point.

MLG restricting it to one 512 man qualifier was idiotic from the start considering that there was 1024+ on some EU days; and there were four of those.



I definitely liked ESL format better, was a great week of SC2 watching everyone try each day!

Why practice if you can just cry to Blizzard until they ban everyone else?

Pretty typical for Blizzard these days, so much talk/publicity but the execution's a mess. It's only fitting WCS will climax at Blizzcon, the home of fail eSports events.

What the hell is going on? Simply based on name value alone I can say these three players deserve a spot into qualifiers and I'm sure they have done what they needed to do as stated by OP. Explanation please? I hope MLG didn't screw up on this one.

i'm going to be the devil's advocate here and say that "diamond noobs" are just as deserving as MVP etc. when the regional tournament is first come first serve. there's nothing inherently wrong with that as it theoretically gives all interested parties an equal chance to participate.

I disagree Blizzard hosts these tournaments to help boost up the NA scene and potential give players a chance at making a name for themselves. A diamond player has no chance at this and honestly they are just wasting space that should go for more skilled players who commit more time and effort into the game.


...and yet they couldn't put in the effort to be first in the queue?

you may think that a person who is going to get horribly stomped is wasting everybody's time, but that's your opinion. i think it is more than likely that the person knows he's not going to win. in fact, he probably knew that he wouldn't get past the first round.

maybe he's in it for the experience, for a personal challenge, or some unfathomable reason. but that per se is not problematic. 99% of players have their reasons for participating in an open tournament and who are you to judge whether they are worthy reasons or not?
There is no such thing is "e-sports". There is Brood War, and then there is crap for nerds.

Chinese players like FruitBaskets and ZooTop were quite well played in the yesterday's match, especially Top, who beated up incontrol and machine in a row with the score of 2-0. That's really a slap to the MLG which weren't pay enough attention to Chinese progamers like Jim, XY and others, who are far much better than ZooTop. They talented players lost great chances to make brilliant show-up in the WCS NA premier 1st season.
That's a shame.
