But this is a great idea :D
It shouldn't, but when you're in the zone and fans keep bothering you, it gives them a place to go and have some peace and quiet for a change. :p
Definitely an awesome idea, hope it all works out well! I'm sure the players will all appreciate it!

Other then losing that great idea.

CombatEX has not applied yet. If the community wishes a player in the lounge, they need to tell us. Post here. Post in Reddit. Get the word out. Go on their stream and tell them to apply.

So are people like Edwardstarcraft or Skjoshy be able to get in there?
|
Awesome idea! Hopefully they'll have like 4+ spare computers so in their off time, the pros can get together, form some 3v3/4v4 teams and go on ladder and troll newbs.
|
Looks like loads of fun. I also got dibs on the minibar. :D
|
This is basically what Thorzain wished for with regards to the previous MLG? :> Just make sure to bring food
|
Wow this is a soooo cool initiative!

Players have over a week to apply. Media has a little bit longer. Once we know all the players who wish to attend (by the fact that they applied), we will make the decision on who is in (based on community demand). We wish we could take everyone. My biggest concern is that a big team like EG will fail to apply then expect to get in. We want to be fair to everyone. This means that we will hold everyone to the same standard.
The Liquid Team just applied. Their seeded players are automatically accepted (they still had to apply), but anyone else is subject to the opinion of the community. Personally-- I would be surprised if someone on the Liquid Team wasn't popular enough with the community to get in. On a more personal note: for those who know me and have been to my events, you know that I never want to exclude anyone. The BlizzCon party last year was open to everyone. At this year's BlizzCon party we will do the same. There is only a finite amount of space to work with here. I am trying to juggle the needs of the players with the needs of the greater Starcraft community (not just the TL community). Media and Sponsors must be secondary to these needs.
I am surprised that this isn't on the front page of /r/Starcraft, given the fact that this should be the biggest series of AMAs ever for that community. This isn't just a Team Liquid event-- this is a pan-Starcraft event. I am confident that this will be an amazing event and I am personally thankful for the trust that the community continues to place in us.

The problem of Open Bracket players (like Thorzain at Columbus) was that there was no time between matches to eat/drink etc. - and even if there was a bit of downtime, no one could use it in fear of missing their next match.
So going into this lounge while playing in the OB is pretty much impossible.
edit: if Ibsen makes a deal with MLG so they know they can quickly check and fetch players from the lounge, it might work for OB players.

So what are the requirements of you getting accepted in this lounge? Be known? I'm sure Randy Jackoff Everyman won't be getting in because he loves SC2 and wants to hang with pros in a chill place or something.
We should start our own lounge with black jack!...and hookers... You know what forget the black jack....
Ah screw the whole thing.

We should all "vote" combat-ex and deezer into the players lounge just to troll all the pros
|
If CombatEZ and Deezer were invited in the lounge they'd probably get their asses kicked irl lol.
|
I think deezer would be ok because even he hates combatex itd be them all just mauling him.
|
|
I (mcDuffs) Cant wait to be here! Going to be representing for IMBAtv at the pro lounge! MLG will be awesome!
|
Excellent idea. We'll see how well it works with interviews soon enough I guess.
|
IMBA.tv in the pro lounge makes me alllllllll kinds of excited. This is seriously going to be the best event ever!!!!!!
Also, the Dong MUST be granted access.
