Jeez, everyone just needs to chill out. Yes MLG messed up, but at least I wasn't put to sleep by how horribly boring the production was, like in the WCS Europe qualifiers. Just because the NASL crew got their panties in a bunch because they weren't invited to the party doesn't mean everyone has to go crying to their mommy. This entire thing has been blown way out of proportion, but I guess that's what I should come to expect from the Starcraft community nowadays.
WCS Europe was MUCH MUCH better than WCS AM. We saw innovative play xD.

This is a pretty big deal for a lot of people, many of these people enter tournaments as their livelihood. Being denied out of Challenger league means it could take 2-3 seasons before you even make it to Premiere league and stand a chance at making real money.

I'd say the production value was very unprofessional considering that much of the tournament was poorly organized before competition even began.

I'm about 100% confident that people are not complaining because some casters stated their opinion. I think people are upset in general because professional gamers were essentially beat out by diamond players and hackers.

If I lost a few months of potential success at my job because of administrative issues, cheaters, and people clearly less qualified than me, I'd admittedly be extremely upset--especially considering I put my life into it. I don't think any of the reactions from people here are blown out of proportion at all. In fact, I think this type of integrity and honesty from the community is very much what eSports (and any sport or profession) needs in general.
EDIT: With regards to the "apology", I agree with most people. The apology and addressing future WCS America operations is not really improving the current situation. In fact, helping the situation would've been to address these issues prior to the WCS NA Qualifiers. Indicating that Blizzard has a short timeline essentially means you have a goal to hit. And clearly, the goal was hit, just at the expense of the professional players and also the community. Well done, MLG--at least you did things on time, and thanks for sharing the results that we all knew already.

Very well written and sincere apology, hope there is follow up though...

Of course not, it's MLG. They just admit to some mistakes and forget about the others but fix nothing...consistently. And if you think that is sincere, you haven't followed Sundance much.

Apologies are good and all, what is being done to fix this situation now?
Nothing. But that's not the point. This is nothing more than a situation that MLG just has to learn from now. Nothing more to it than that.

Blizzard should fire MLG, put NASL in charge.

Blizzard should have just use IPL to organize this...

It's well written all right, since a lot of people seem to buy it, but how do you know it's sincere?
I mean, I'm sure he sincerely wishes his employees' and his fuck-ups hadn't become so widely known, but what makes you think he'll do anything to fix things not only for next time, but for every single upcoming tournament his company organizes?
It's not like MLG is new at organizing tournaments. And it's not like it was impossible to do better for the first WCS, since WCS Europe went much better. If MLG didn't make an effort this time despite their vast experience, why would they make one next time, and all the times after that, assuming Blizzard has a binding contract with them for WCS and therefore they're not really afraid of losing viewers?

pointless apology and no action. Not satisfied at all.

Looks like a nice,proper and polite form of apology. GL for your future

I don't understand why people are so upset with the apology. They seem to be saying that "it's just a blurb of empty words that doesn't change anything".
What else do people expect? The qualifiers are already done, there is nothing that can be done. We can only hope that MLG learns from this mistake and improves next time. The least Sundance could've done was to issue a formal apology for the fiasco, which he did.
And we all know that if he didn't issue an apology, people would be complaining that there was no apology -.-

That MLG would show us how they plan to fix the issues (even if not for this than for the next qualifier)?
They even want community to hand them solutions on the silver plater.

Those were nice words, but they don't solve any of the problems
