The championship, judging from Adam's comments here, will have an open bracket. Open brackets usually mean Koreans. I assume the difference is that MLG won't be fronting money for plane flights from Korea, which means a lot lower saturation of Korean players. Only an assumption on my part, though. | ||

Only an assumption on my part, though. The NA players and fans often seem to hate Koreans "sweeping in and stealing their money". I don't know, after everything I've read on the forums about region locking and local growth I'd assume less Koreans = better in that department, but maybe popular opinion changed again. | ||

I was curious because the two names you came up with were avilo and MaximusBlack. Vibe, Minigun, Hendralisk, Kane, Major, JonSnow, State, Illusion, Suppy, Masa, Massan, Goswser, a whole host of unrecognized talent on teams like Clarity and Root's academy (seed). I'm probably even leaving some good players out. I'm excited to see NA players battle it out. | ||

Anyway, back to being way too happy about SC2 being back at MLG. Screw the haters. Holy balls take a chill pill for a minute would you here: + Show Spoiler + https://twitter.com/kmicj/status/365879993995239424 And theres a TL thread all surrounding it but honestly I can't find it. I'm actually stoked for events after Adam gave that crucial info. | ||

I mean people love Iron Squid to hell but they "only" had two tournaments before deciding that it didn't bring in the money necessary. MLG has hosted significantly more than two. I don't get the toxicity about them. Tournaments > no tournaments, right? if people are going to direct their hatred somewhere, point it at blizzard and the WCS for crippling the tournament scene. they essentially put restrictions on all of the tournament organizers that discouraged competition against the WCS. MLG is in the business of making money, fuck them right? | ||
