EPTI've read it repeatedly and it doesn't really address the question. I've already said that I think MLG made a mistake and should do something about it, but I'm also trying to understand the process that lead to the mistake.

It's pretty outrageous - they need to get at least Challenger seeds as compensation! MLG should be ashamed -.- | ||

That's means they missed out for an opportunity to play for thousands of dollars due to this screw. And now they are locked in for this season Yes, I actually think they cannot 'not solve' this. They have to step in. | ||

Their team manager asked if they were in beforehand and got a confirmation. That is what the screens in the OP shall show. | ||

There's tons of nobodies in the bracket, and now these talented programers are left out. Just sad Nobodies is fine, if they are skilled nobodies. How else do you make a name? The problem is the diamond or lower nobodies. MLG seriously screwed up. The whole process has been pretty poor from the very start in terms of how everything has been organised, this is just yet another disorganised mess of the WCS 2013 system. Blizzard had an idea and decided to run with it, and forgot that these things need time and organisation. Now these guys (as well as others previously) get screwed over/messed about because Blizzard and their partners didn't work things out properly before they launched into the whole WCS thing. It's a nice idea, but it needed actual thought put into it before it was launched. | ||

Consider the fact that leagues and players have genuinely been fucked over by Blizzard's plans. Why is ESL, an organisation that has hosted tournaments of sometimes questionable quality around the world, picked over Dreamhack, an organisation that has hosted some of the best produced SC2 tournaments in the world? And what about WCS America? Imagine how much better it would have been if NASL as well as MLG were producing it? That's right, leave out the only other influential league in favour of an exclusivity deal. And what stake do IPL's former staff have to play in this too? Oh and what about players like Scarlett who genuinely planned to play in GSL but can't because she was invited to WCS America? | ||

From: http://www.reddit.com/rules "Don't ask for votes or engage in vote manipulation. [–] What does vote manipulation look like? NOT OK: Buying votes or using services to vote. OK: Sharing reddit links with your friends. NOT OK: Sharing links with your friends or coworkers and asking them to vote. NOT OK: Creating submissions such as "For every upvote I will ..." or "... please upvote this!", regardless of the cause." So yeah it's against the rules, though this is kind of important. | ||

The WCS Europe qualifiers have been a complete fucking joke up to this point due to the way they've ran their qualifiers and now we have entry into WCS America governed literally by just one 512 man bracket qualifier tournament.

Compare it to WCS NA and you see whats worse, and really I don't think WCS EU qualifiers were run badly. | ||

Is MLG rebuilding a mini ladder for BLZ or holding a professional game for SC2 fans? JIM used to be among top 3 in KR ladder! Do you guys watch the ACT a few days ago when he killed Suppy, Hyun, JD and some other Code S players with only 80% effort? If you ask Maru BBong Creator and other profs in Prime, you'll know how strong the teen is. Moreover, Jim and XY are asked if they are GSL code S players after refused. Does MLG have over 500 S players? This is the biggest joke I've heard. The reason he probably asked if they were Code S is because he was going to say "if they played in Code S, then they can't play in the qualifier anyway". | ||
