An apology that didn't really address any of the actual issues. Guess they're not going to fix any of the mistakes, just kind of half-assedly acknowledge them.

There will be a 2nd invite only qualifier next weekend to decide the 16 players entering the challenger league.

9th-40th from the Qualifying Tournament 1, will get an invite the 2nd qualifier.


Should be 4 separate qualifiers where the Top 4 make it in from each. No invites, completely open. Stop with the invite garbage please.


So chinese/Sea players that couldnt get in because of the 512 limit cant join the challenger qualifier?

Not to mention players like Catz who loses to a hacker, and now cant try to qualify for challenger?, Or playersthat lost to hyun or comm, other dq'd players.

This seems so very stupid.

You get credit when you do something, not when you say something.


Yup.

Well written apology, but still doesn't change anything for the number of people that were screwed over. Not that there's particularly anything I ask of them to rectify it, but this doesn't "let them off the hook" for the stuff that happened.

It can only improve from here right... ?


Given their track record I think we'll keep finding ourselves in the woods. Try to keep it in the fairway please. No one likes the rough!


Their track record from Dallas 11' to now is actually pretty damn good. Going by that, if your still in the woods it is because your a stubborn tree rooted in your soil of rage.


I could list a lot more than that and if you call that rage. Gee, you've seen nothing yet.


Go for it.


Remember the time they changed their pricing model and how they announced it to their subscribers?

I appreciate the apologies Sundance, but please make sure the tournament runs smoothly from now on.

The community needs to look forward now. They can't possibly do this again unless they have a time machine.

The whole disgusting act towards Chinese players/Comm DQ is still not addressed. Until then I will tell all my friends to boycott MLG.

MLG has a pretty solid record of making mistakes and then fixing them. Best example was them going out and buying a satellite truck after that failed MLG (Dallas?). I'll agree it's a tiresome pattern but the product has continued to improve ...

I hope the guy from China that got DQ'd feels better about all of this now -.-
I might be the minority on TL, but TL is the minority everywhere else.

MLG fucked up badly in a way that hugely affected player's careers and in China's case, an entire scene. Yet it's not even mentioned in their generic apology. Blizzard chose such a shitty partner just for the brand recognition and it just did immediate and irreparable damage to the scene. It was obvious this would happen which is the most upsetting thing about it. Blizzard have good intentions but they are really obviously too incompetent to be running the scene. We were better off without them.

Kudos for actually making a statement, i suppose. But you aren't even acknowledging or addressing the issues that the community is most upset about.. Not only that but you title it "How we will improve" but give no examples of what you are doing to improve! So, to me, you still don't have a clue what went wrong or how to improve it. Disappointing to say the least.

Blizzard needs to help the China's case right now or all hope is lost.

I feel bad for MLG they made some pretty big mistakes but why is blizzard not saying/doing anything to help especially when they just hired all of IPL who have a lot of esports experience.

Hopefully something can be done to some of the players who missed out, mainly the Chinese guys with some code A seeds or something,
