I think as long as they're going in this direction it could really help to have some partner streams (or self produced sub-streams) for the lower round matches, though it would depend on what the player list looks like. | ||

Just because it is less money than last year doesn't mean anything. I am just happy they are going to have an open bracket again. | ||

Personally, I would rather they focus on one stream, limit down time and show good games. It is better than switching through 4 different streams of questionable quality. | ||

I don't know why people are happy about full open bracket like this. They could have at least had separate group stage for invites and open bracket for sign-ups feeding into a championship bracket like old MLGs. All this is going to give is shitty 1 sided games until the latest rounds and bad players trying to all-in every game hoping they can get a lucky win. | ||

It seems like a good opportunity for lesser players to do well and make a name for themselves. Comparing the prize pool against previous MLGs when WCS didn't even exist doesn't seem like the right way to view things. Nailed it But hey, people are quick to bitch. I'm glad there is an open tournament and people get a chance to qualify and play on the big stage, or at least play against established legends of the game. More Starcraft 2 is a good thing, not a bad thing! | ||

I'm sure the event will be great either way for the spectator even though their is less "choice". I just hope they have plans for downtime between matches. Especially with only one stream... | ||
