I am with you. And everyone wondered why they wanted to charge $20 to sign up. All those diamond players taking up the slots of real, championship level players.
Yep, making it free and 1000+/1300+ would've been way too complicated. Can't do that, would be too obvious of a solution.
Yeah, I am sure that would have solved all the problem. God knows, more players in the brackets would have made everything better. 4000 Diamond players signing up for the event and it would have been great. They should have cast them all too, to make sure we didn't miss anything.

I thought the qualifiers were supposed to reflect the best players of each region.
WCS made the rules that players are not restriced to their residence just to make matches more exciting, attract more viewers and improve regional starcraft II levels. But results now, that 4 koreans promoted to the Premier League, are not that satisfying.
Its funny the corporate and managmenet mentality.
Just because one says it will be exciting etc etc but the realistic thinkin is that players from dominant regions will abuse the rule and will play in a different qualifier so as to avoid heavier competitition... well what do you think is gonna happen?
Since my country probably won't be represented, I honestly won't (again) watch another tournament, because it wont be exciting.
Your country (I'm assuming Canada) has Scarlett and Huk representing it in the Premier League. Those two are probably the only ones who even have a chance in a real world-wide tournament anyway, so I don't know why you're so upset about the lack of representation.
Its the idea that if you are going to have a GROUP from a region, the group of players from a qualifier should represent the residents and players from that region.

Yeah, WCS EU was such a mess right? Those 4000 players really fucked things up there.

Oh yeah, poor MLG, can't make an extra $10 000 after being gifted with the monopoly of hosting WCS NA. Or make a rule that only masters or masters above a certain points value can apply like everyone else. Or just expand the bracket like EU did.
Or have more than one caster, and opened themselves up to 10+ community casters, as opposed to running a monopoly on casting. Thanks for reminding us of all the ways MLG has failed over ESL, every 15 min or so.

Did you miss WCS EU or are you getting desperate now?
Making a WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES and denying people with actual chances the participation because some diamondscrubs overestimate themselves is borderline retarded. There's nothing to justify that. If you only offer ~1/8th of the spots, make sure they get filled with the proper people (meaning GM+), not a "diamond player/new blood". They can't make it to masters/GM, what reason is there to let them soak up spots which would be needed for "real players"? Use them as fillers, but don't ignore pros because of them. Or, you know, let more people participate.

You do realize that they did this whole thing terribly right? I understand how you've dug yourself into a deep hole trying to defend MLG/WCS here, but I think it's about time you stop. You really are embarrassing yourself.

yeah MLG probably didnt see HyuN in the Code A qualifiers for a reason
This is so disgusting I honestly don't know this is even possible. Can't believe I logged on and hear something like this. Mlg has done esports for over a decade. How long does it take you to quit fucking up?

Well there are a ton of walk over in the early rounds that shouldn't have happened because their weren't enough admins to confirm. But that drama is so last week. This is the new drama for this week.

I think you work for MLG don't you.
Nah, I just think the Chinese players fucked up, didn't read the rules and are trying to blame MLG because they didn't read the rules. Then they tried to slip their best player through and got caught. But everyone love to hate on MLG like everyone loves to hate on EG.

Yeah he's getting desperate and resorting to straw man arguments now like omg 4k people will sign up if you don't cap it..cause that's exactly what happened in eu. His posts don't make sense anymore and is just posting to get a reaction out of you guys now.
I'd love to give MLG the benefit of the doubt but there are way, way too many sketchy things that have happened this weekend without an official response. The lack of organization, clarity regarding rules, and silence from the organizers is extremely frustrating. Yes, there could have been an absolute perfect storm of issues that happened this weekend, but that's why MLG was chosen to host this event. Most organizations can handle things when it goes smoothly, but it's when things go poorly that you really earn your keep.
