they could at least let comm compete against the guy who got a free win because they dq'ed him in the final round. That would actually make a difference. | ||

I doubt a complaint inbox will do much but be filled with spam or trolling responses. There needs to be action, not words. | ||

First, the demand to enter the WCS Qualifier was much higher than we had anticipated which resulted in many excellent players not getting a chance to enter. thats just retarded seeing as how wcs eu got 1000+ signups every day previously | ||

I still think they should have let him play. He deserves a spot! He was straight forward with them from the beginning, and plus he might not have fully understood the rules, something might have been lost in translation. | ||

They actually think that one of the most important errors was the bracket transparency? Or are they just playing dumb? What about outright DQing the Chinese champion after refusing him admittance to the bracket in the first place? | ||

2. I don't want apologies. All I want to hear about are solutions and what we're going to do moving forward. | ||

12 hours for a PR fluff piece. Well done MLG, all is forgiven! Oh wait... Hopefully WCS America S2 will be given to NASL. | ||

I know it's a shitty scenario but he literally broke the rules. he did it because he had no choice because of bad admin decisions. that's why the rules aren't set in stone and can be overturned by a competent admin decision. unfortunately MLG does not have people that can man up and make such a decision. only the oh so sorry sundance. | ||

Also it is kinda stupid to say this event was rushed, it was rushed for EU as well, yet they did infinitely better job than MLG. Oh yeah and he didn't say anything about Challenger dates overlapping with DreamHack. I would say he even failed to explain/apologize... | ||

Important players are basically excluded from major tournaments all year because of this WCS mess- this isn't entirely MLG's fault though, it's Blizzard's too.

What about outright DQing the Chinese champion after refusing him admittance to the bracket in the first place? I also feel like the random exclusion of top players renders this qualifier invalid. At least if you want to run a professional tournament of this magnitude. MLG should admit the errors done and rerun everything instead of harming the whole competion that is comming after this. | ||

MLG's live events are great but their online stuff are below par almost every time. | ||

Cancelled my Gold subscription from lapsing over after this weekend and will wait and see how things improve before providing any more money to MLG production. This is a smart way to address the situation if you don't like what MLG did. Each person should make their own judgements about what happened, so I'm definitely not saying that everyone should cancel their subscriptions or anything like that. I'm just saying that your dollars and your eyeballs are what MLG are most interested in, so whether you give those things to them or not will send the most impactful messages. | ||

Blizzard selected MLG fully knowing this. MLG was put in a very tough situation as was ESL... this whole thing has been on a very rushed Bliizzard timeline.. its no surprise that several of the "partners" have struggled to put together a solid qualifier. | ||

Sundance is getting good at apologizing but this organization seems to muck it up over and over again. I would have really liked to hear the corrective steps, or a hint towards what that will be, but this will do I suppose. The slight to the Chinese players to me is simply so egregious... | ||
