The only reason we have Koreans in NA and fluff comments from Blizzard is due to MLG not wanting to have tournaments without Koreans. They're driven by ratings/money, so you can't put anything past them. Hackers, normally a problem in tournaments if no anti hack. Smurfing, normally a problem. But, did Koreans end up taking a maximum amount of spots or not, still? Who cares. Not getting worked up over code B Korea. Get back to me when there's a NA tournament.

LOL this is actually so bad...
What happens to the people Hyun knocked out? Do they just... lose?

But I think people need to give them credit for addressing these issues, no matter how slowly, instead of not reacting at all.
They didn't really address the issue, if they did then the players wouldn't of been so confused about who their next opponent was, instead MLG just stayed quiet and didn't tell the players anything that was going on and instead brushed them off ie: the case of hwangsin.

They could have just re-run the qualifier with enough time.
So what about the players that qualified, they just lose out because a hacker played in the event? Or because a Hyun played when he wasn't supposed to? Or because Comm used an account he wasn't supposed to? If we want to talk about not fair, that would be the worst thing MLG could to players who did nothing wrong.

Perhaps that was when they figured out the bracket was screwed up?

I SOLVED THE CASE OF THE BROKEN BRACKET
The current bracket is actually how it is supposed to be. If you look at winners' round 6 from top to bottom, you see that the players eliminated were:  JYP, Sage,  hendralisk, Miya,  Badcop, Apocalypse, Demuslim, and Petraeus. These players were then dropped into losers' round 10 but arranged in the opposite order.
Top bracket to bottom:
Patraeus, Demuslim, etc...
However, the original bracket swapped Miya and Apocalypse. MLG corrected this mistake and the bracket they used tonight was correct. Sorry Hwangsin. You were supposed to play Apocalypse the whole time

Nevermind

Read the freakin topic... There were 3, yes 3 different brackets seen on mlg website, + all the late dq-ing, letting huyn play twice... it just does not make sence, except seen from maximizing profits.. plz use your propaganda on someone else, because i fed up with your mlg fanboy propaganda.

They should let the players who qualified in the winners bracket advance and run a new qualifier to determine the final 4 spots, with seeding based on the results from this incomplete qualifier. It's too late for that now though, we already know that Revival and Apocalypse qualified in the lower bracket.

It is better with some things to accept that you made a mistake and then change it. But with brackets, what was wrong with just saying that there was a mistake made by the admins in listing the brackets and just going ahead with the 'wrong' brackets? I don't really see what would have been the downside...

You could be right on that part, as the bracket swapping did happen when everyone was creeping up on LR10, didn't really put that much thought into it.

Aside from the other frustrations the silliest thing to me when participating was that, after many of us had already played our round 1 matches (and yes we used the bracket that was on the MLG site) they then change the bracket on us. I couldn't find an explanation anywhere.

Keep playing out the bracket as if it's an MLG and have the top 4 qualify or something like that. Make another new qualifier for the other 4.

At first this entire WCS situation was making me kind of angry, at this point it's just bumming me out :/

At least. I actually hoped for that to be a hoax, because otherwise that actually could've hurt eSports for real.
