MLG is so shady. Utter incompetence and Blizzard needs to revoke their rights to WCS NA.

Changing the brackets in an ongoing competition is the hip new tournament format. You never know who's going to play who next!!!

MLG is trailblazing!!!

I can't even figure out what the hell is going on with this part. The whole Chinese thing seems to be a case of people not reading the rules, but this is just insane.

MLG getting called out by NASL/Bitterdam, that has to hurt.

At some point even Sundance has to see that this could really hurt MLG in the long run. At some point he should stop to frickin tweet like a kid and actually put together a statement to clear the waves.

I still can't get over the fact that there was originally a $20 fee for entering this qualifier ...

The bracket on Liquipedia didn't make sense (we discussed it in LR yesterday but I don't remember on which page) because when guys dropped down, they just played the same bracket the played in the winner bracket. So if you won, you probably played a guy you lost to down the line. It just didn't make sense.

it seems mlg has no clue about what they are doing, they changed the brackets at mlg website several times. 3 times i was witness to.
Lower Bracket is very confusing, and it seems to have no interaction with the initial seedings of players, and it looks like the admins have manually and arbitrary choosen the matchups, as their is no link to the inital seedings in upper bracket.

Yeah, I replayed the guy I beat in the first round. I also thought the brackets changed from Saturday to Sunday, but I didn't pay attention since I was out.

MLG1: "Let's 're-randomize' these brackets, they're no good!"
MLG2: "Shit.. look at that, a CHINESE might win..."
MLG1: ".... DQ him."
MLG2: "People are starting to ask about the brackets, what should we do?"
MLG1: "Shit. Okay, let's just hide them and not offer any explanation then if they wonder why they changed tell them that they're remembering it wrong!"
MLG2: "Genius!!!"

Its not. Only explenation would be that the onces who were probably gonna qualify, didnt fit the playbook for WCS NA 2013, which would not be good for maximizing profits and goals. Admins dont fuck up brackets... they had 24h to check, someone must have checked the brackets between saturday and sunday.. Next to the fact the banning of chinese player was really late, which strengtens my consiracytheory that MLG dq-ed some players out, or put players against each other that didnt fit the playbook.

Frankly, HwangSin shouldn't have been playing Miya by this logic. I think people aren't giving MLG credit for correcting things instead of letting them run incorrectly.

Rigging brackets is "correcting things" now? If people played the wrong persons, just creating a bracket by hand willy nilly is not the way to fix it. Re-doing the whole thing would be, but not arbitrary changing the brackets as it fits best.

This is really getting out of control. I'm finding it hard to believe that anyone could screw up this bad, but MLG is really showing us how it's done.
