i think this is a really good compromise, given the difficult, differing interests.
it allows enough top class koreans to participate in the championship bracket so that the final rounds will show really top class sc2 and the championship itself is legit. and it also guarantees that there are enough local players to cheer for and who can make a name for themselves, so it will probably help grow the local scene. i think european players get the short end of the stick though: they cannot get seeded into pool play, and will have a hard time grabbing one of the rare open bracket spots when there's a lot of koreans in there. but still... good compromise!
Yeah, but Europe has a lot more tournaments for local players

agreed. it wasnt my intention to complain.

The only shitty thing about this is that we'll only really be able to watch pool play at the live events thus ignoring most of the international bloodbath in the open bracket.
Perhaps not, maybe MLG will be smart about who they choose to put on the main stage.

I'm glad MLG decided to pickup sc2 again.

Yep, this is awesome. I understand the NA-centric stuff, though I don't like it. I think Wax put up some nice words to describe it - let's see how it plays out!

We do? Like what? I mean besides national LANs but do we count those?

Now all they need to do is define "American" players, as usually happens.
Presumably Americas means both North and South Americas, and may or may not include semi-permanent residents, e.g. Polt, Select.

wont be the same without idra  but still, glad to see MLG cares about sc2

No point in watching when you already know Leenock is going to go through the open bracket and win it all anyway : p

yeah idno, people keep bringing this up but i cant remember any events limited to europeans
if they mean the local lans, then idno what keeps someone in socal for example to set up a small event for local players... you don't need to wait for someone like MLG to do it for you

Great new, looking forward to this!

Only if he doesn't lose to some random foreign Protoss. 
I like this, MLG was among the best tournaments for me in 2011, I loved all of the matches played there. I hope we can see more of the "old stuff" coming back.

good choices even though I would have rather seen bigger groups with 1:1:2-3 spots going to Asia:EU:Americas region.
That said, my biggest hope is that mlg.tv has vod capability when Anaheim happens.

These LANs actually do exist, and in SoCal to boot (I know it was just an example), but most people don't hear about them it seems... including those in the US. XD
