Why, because a group of Chinese players didn't fully read the rules and didn't understand that some of their player signed up to make it into the bracket? The rule is in the biggest, reddest text that is available for MLG to use on the qualifer's page. I don't know how they missed it, it is fucking huge. Do you think if the Chinese team contacted MLG that day before and contacted MLG as said: "The winner of WCS china didn't sign up in time, can he be put into the bracket?" MLG would reject them?
It think it is pretty clear the Chinese team didn't read the rules very carefully and just assumed if they signed up they would get in. Then, after that happened they decided to publicly blame on TL and reddit MLG rather than ask MLG what went wrong. Which is pretty standard and allows people to freak out for before MLG notices and responds. Standard internet and SC2 drama.
Uh if that was true then don't say "Oh you can play anyways". Just tell them they were late and end it.
So the 2012 WCS China champion doesnt get a spot for the qualifiers? WTF So last year Blizzard was all about supporting every scene, but this year they are like fuck everyone, we wont even give you a spot in any region for your BEST player who could probably own most NA players. Makes sense. This is honestly a total disaster. The chinese scene is already so closed off, things like this just make it worse. MLG fucked up again.

It's pretty clear that you've been an MLG cheerleader throughout this thread and will defend MLG no matter how irrational you sound. MLG can do no wrong in your eyes and you're just a blind defender. This has been a straight up gong show.

Yes, he's embarrassing himself almost as much as MLG themselves with his blind defense of inexcusable situations.

Whoa, I just realized I've consistently seen your name in TL whenever it comes to blaming the internet and sc2 scene. Your condescension is seriously... oh wells.

"I am so sorry". Being sorry will not pay his bills, he can't just go to his landlord and tell him that MLG was really sorry.
Being sorry is nice and the right thing to say and I am very glad to hear it. If they back it up they might reclaim some of their reputation. But so far it is only a starting point, so what will MLG do about it?

He can't even make Challenger this season because of MLG's stupid Challenger league qualifier (only players that are 9th through 40th in this qualifier will compete in that).
Frankly, the staff at MLG ought to be ashamed of how this qualifier has gone. Its a train-wreck.

The worse bit is that this means the earliest Comm can make Premier is the last season of this year, since he also won't be able to make Challenger. Ridiculous.

The way MLG has been dealing with the Chinese players is pathetic, from start to finish. MLG doesn't even address the issue, only a few tweets from Sundance that somewhat contradict what the admin say in the 1st post pictures.

I know a mindless pitch-fork mob when I see one. This is a case of players and a team not reading the rules and then blaming the tournament when they didn't get to play. Then trying to play under someone else account and being told that is not allowed either, cause like, no shit.
I've been watching this happen for three years in SC2, from EG signing Puma and on ward. The "community" freaks out and then moves on to the next "outrage" like a gold fish. Today it is MLG, next week it will be someone else who did something unforgivable.

I think you got it wrong. It will be invite only and the 9th to 40th in this qualifier will definitely be invited, and so will be others. I think some MLG official already promised the chinese players that they will be invited to the Code A qualifiers, let's just hope it's not the same idiot who promised them that they are checked in already...
Also, why wouldn't MLG allow players to forfeit their spot for others? It was no problem with the ESL, and they had four times the amount of players to keep track off... <.<

Then tell me why Hyun and PhysicsLee were allowed to play in the tournament.

He's not exactly for the establishment so much as against those that are against the establishment. Is he an Antidisestablishmentarianist?
After what MLG has done to them, it would be cool if all the Chinese players play in challenger qualifiers and knock out all the NA players to eventually make a Premiere league full of only Chinese and Koreans by the end of the year. :p
