If you're only going to run one qualifier you're leaving yourself no room to maneuver. It's either flawless or a fuck up. | ||

Along with all the games for qualfiication from the Winners Bracket. 2) Allowing in hackers and low tier NA players instead of top players from China, including people such as the WCS China champion despite confirming to the players they will be in. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=408776 3) Taking 5 hours to disqualify Quantic HyuN as he is ineligible due to his participation in WCS KR Code S this season but only doing so after he has knocked out 4 people. 4) Banning people from channels who asked why the Chinese players were not entered in to the bracket. http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/1crcp0/chinese_players_left_out_of_wcs_america_qualifier/c9j9xqg http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=408680¤tpage=34#673 5) Not updating the bracket on their site, leaving it to liquipedia to pick up the slack. http://gamebattles.majorleaguegaming.com/pc/starcraft-ii-wings-of-liberty/tournament/wcs-america-season-1-qualifyin/bracket Worth noting that while the ESL bracket was also a PITA compared to say, Challonge or Binary Beast it didn't force people to name themselves twice (Rootcaliber = Tubbythefat etc), was updated and had collapsible sections as opposed to having later stages off screen. It's also worth noting http://gamebattles.majorleaguegaming.com/pc/starcraft-ii-heart-of-the-swarm/ doesn't even exist 6) The decision to cap the bracket size at 512. 1. Is not as as big of a deal, I enjoyed yesterday's cast, I only really watch WR5-Wr6 games. I would have watched MLG coverage anyway. It is really about control of the product they have so you can't really fault them for that. But I feel like NASL could have casted, or the IPL staff they bought. (also why the heck has there been nothing for NASL?) 2. That has to be a check in thing, if you don't check in when the bracket caps you don';t get to play. Besides no offense to any one but I want to see NA players win a NA league. Players from China would just take the money back to China and not help grow NA scene. NA scene needs money to justify players trying. 3.That was super odd. First Hyun or his team manager should have known he shouldn't be playing in this, and next MLG admins gotta become more aware of SC II globally. WCS is a global event and it is good to know what everyone is doing and which players are in which league. Not hard to do. 4.Didn't see that happen much, so think your just complaining cause you got banned. 5.MLG bracket was terrible and always has been, Liquidpedia was fine. think your just complaining about anything. 6. It is fine if your doing double elim bracket that is a lot of games. And it appears like 7 koreans and one foreginer will get in. Opening up the bracket to bigger numbers doesn't matter the koreans are gonna get in. I Don't think you you realize how many games that is to play. | ||

He didn't mention viewers... all he said was that DreamHack is going to be good, compared to WCS which has been pretty messy overall, more so in the NA side of things. | ||

Now we either dont get to see the games, or they are casted from replays, both options stink. note: Axslav and Axeltoss did a great job, and casted for a long time. I would just like blizzard to contract out a second set of casters so we can get the whole day covered. I mean we missed all the exciting matches in the late rounds. | ||

The NA one is just dull, its one game (out of hundreds) and if you don't like it, too bad and if there are better players or players you follow, too bad. Pretty lame | ||

ESL made up for it by having multiple qualifiers, even if their incompetence made you miss one you still had more chances. | ||
