If I've been remotely able to I've stayed up all night for essentially all MLG events for the last two years. The only reason I would do it for this one is if one of my absolutely favourite players look like having a great event. | ||

Can you share any more of the details as to why this tournament wasnt finalized but a month before it's taking place and why there are no reserved spots for top Pros? | ||

Inside the Game from last week, it came from Suppy who claimed he heard that MLG was considering an invite only event, but found out from Blizzard at a open bracket was required to get WCS points. That is where I first heard it. | ||

Compare it to 2012: We had 4 big MLGs with several smaller but important and recognized arenas. We had 2 big IPLs, constant IEMs, ASUS, 5 GSLs and WCS on top of that. Now we have 3 seasons of WCS and DH. we go down from more than 20 major tournaments to around 10. From a player's perspective that really sucks, because it's really hard to place in the money and with these little opportunities. For up and coming players there are way less possibilities to break through and for teams there is much less exposure. I feel Blizzard made SC2 esports taking a big step down while still investing lots of money through it. I feel like that whole project went totally wrong! I actually feel the opposite. I felt like we had way too many tournaments in 2012 and having ~10 tournaments in a year is great. Keeps spectators excited for each tournament and not have a over saturation. I'm not sure how players feel about less tournaments but this will allow more quality games to be brought to the tables with proper practice for each tournament. Allows everyone to bring their S game. (lol SNM) Just some of my thoughts. | ||

Please, please, please release the replays for this! Blizzard has fixed the old WoL security risks regarding adding user id's from replays and flooding them/inviting them to tons of chat channels causing them to lag in game. To my understanding this was the primary reason we were told as to why we stopped getting replays. Without streams covering the open bracket tons of great games will be lost forever without reps. Lots of good players are going to travel in and will be playing in the open bracket. Thanks!! | ||

If Flash is going to the 2013 Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games which is in June 29 in Korea, then he can't go to MLG which is at the same time. For those who don't know, Flash is the only one who is 'qualified' and is going to the 2013 Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games, because other players think that it has no prize money so they chose not to go. | ||

Neither Flash nor Life going, really disappointing me. I almost paid someone to make Flash and/or Life posters but made them wait in case this not-going of theirs happened. I might just stay home and watch the Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games instead. Or go to Anaheim for the other games... | ||
