I'm not going to lie, I'm really happy to hear they are going back to open bracket. Yes the last invite tournament made for some great games, but the open bracket story is what makes me excited for these events. This one will undoubtedly be a little underwhelming because of the situation and the short notice, but hopefully they stick with it and we're back to normal for the next one.

It's basically DreamHack Open in terms of scale and prize, but without the 230984390 partner streams for lower rounds?

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.

Wasn't the old MLG system like having 5000 $ for 1st place and the big Prize Pool at the End of the season ?

That was a completely different system. It hasn't been like that since 2012.

It is a good amount of money for a prize pool and reasonable. 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.

All this negativity seems to miss the point that they are putting up an open tournament in-addition to what is already happening with WCS. 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.
I'm all in.

I bet they couldn't get the quality casters they wanted to do two streams. 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.

This really sucks.

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.

Not the most awe inspiring prizes/stream numbers, but I'm glad it's there and will definitely watch as much of it as I can
Plus Tier 1 status for WCS ain't bad at all.

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!

Slightly disappointed in this but maybe this will deter the influx of Koreans attending. Maybe this is a move to domesticate mlg as an American event.
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

Will Extended Series rear it's ugly head or is it gone for good because it's a WCS event? I'm glad it's an Open Bracket(no favoritism) though you have to wonder why only one stream. I have a feeling it has to do with MLG not being happy that they couldn't do their own format with their own invites and still be a WCS Tier-1 event. This is a way to do the "bare minimum" and still make it a WCS Tier-1 event to get big names and not be branded a "lesser" event. Though with how late it has been announced it's going to be interesting to see who shows up.

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...
