There have been quite a few mishaps in the NA qualifier. Some of it being due to confusing and new rules, other just human error I guess. I feel that there should be atleast one open (not capped) qualifier, EVERYONE even if they are bronze should have atleast one opportuinity to participate in my opinion.

Wish they had more streams so if for instance I dont want to watch a zvz, I could go to the other stream and watch another matchup or game.

One BIG positive I will give to MLG is that they had very little downtime during games. Having 2 pc`s is actually a very smart idea, creds to whoever made that happen. The ability to jump fast between games really help them when they have only one stream. I did also like their casters as well, They have gotten a bit of flak in the different threads, but I atleast enjoyed their cast, creds to you Axlav and Axeltoss

Makes you wonder how much Bitterdam would've owned it up.


Do you really think MLG is paying Blizz? It's the other way around.

Some of them aren't really MLG's fault, but letting Hyun play is just stupid.

Well the contract must have atleast some "we're the only ones that can broadcast from WCS NA"(and are enforcing it), which is what I was pointing at, which is aweful. Also I believe MLG wasn't even going to broadcast the qualifiers, didn't axltoss say that early on in the broadcast, that it was quickly hurried together? :/

Hyun so imba, he eliminates people from brackets he's not even allowed in.

Next: Hyun becomes the USA president before they realize he's not even born there.

Well another thing is that Hyun himself actually registered for it, checked in and knowingly took a spot from other players and knocked out others. Shouldn't this kinda behavior be punished?

And I thought EU was badly run*, but WCS.NA seems so much worse off, especially with the issue of Chinese (and aussie?) players not getting to participate because of a ridiculous 512 player cap. I don't know who has the finger on the trigger at MLG regarding those choices, but it seems very stupid to limit the tournament like.

Their stream was run quite smoothly and overall I think Axslav and Axeltoss does a decent job, but I would've liked the option of choosing another stream to see other games!

* In retrospect it wasn't that bad actually, considering how short of a notice ESL probably had on the entire thing.

If the sign up/check in proccess worked as it should, verifying who can/can't play HyuN would have never been able to play those games in the first place.

What is the way it "should" work? It's not hard to trick the system.

they are sooooo lucky they figured it out before he eliminated someone with a good chance of qualifying

it would have been such a PR disaster if he had eliminated someone like demuslim or whatever

I think there is a real chance that Hyun could be punished somewhat. Then again the fault is with both parties.

The lives saved by DQing HyuN include JYP, aLive, our hero Moosegills, and possibly quasAr as well. haha

Agree to a point. If there's anything that's somewhat contractual between players and the tournament then there's something.

all of those points made were under mlg's control, things they could have done better. so i think that makes it their fault.

and i dont even think theyve said anything about all the fuck ups at all

rofl, they let HyuN play and actualyl eliminate people?

the best part is he was listed as DQed. then he resurrected himself and knocked out the next person in the bracket and got DQed again


Truly HyuNstoppable ;o


Says alot about Hyun as a person to


Yeah because I'm sure he knew the rules of WCS very well... just like every other player... Oh wait...

Blizzard botched this in every possible way with regards to handling information about their event.


A player in a major team that played in code S, that got 0 instructions.
He got disqualified then just played his next match, yeah nothing fishy going on there.

Offcourse this is true that MLG/Blizzard admins made a big mistake, to let him play for 5 hours, then DQ him and needing to DQ him again, but i doubt he went in there all ignorant.

The first DQ wasn't a DQ it was a walk over loss for being LATE not because he played in Code S, and he kept playing because there is a fucking losers bracket to play in -.- not like he just said fuck it and kept playing people after being eliminated

Don't you dare go blaming HyuN for Blizzard/MLG's Fuck ups!

Bit harsh. He may not have even known considering an obvious lack of information being sent out to players and teams. You can only assume the same in regards to tournament organisers like MLG and ESL. The fact that Hyun is playing in Code S, yet still managed to play in NA qualifiers to me points to a lack of communication between the regions/Blizzard.
