This list is probably not entirely accurate, but I'd imagine isn't TOO far off. I'm waiting for GSL to start and was bored, figured out people's MLG points, this will give us a pretty fair idea of who to look out for in pool play at MLG Anaheim, etc.
*NOTE: final standings haven't been officially released, I'm basing info off what I know of how consolation matches played out so there may be errors.
MLG Points
1. Naniwa 1850
2. Idra 1400
3. MMA 1200
4. Slush 1190
5. Kiwikaki 1140

7. Losira 1000
8. Ret 940
9. iNcontroL 920

Who's Out
- Machine, Gretorp, Sheth, and Tyler have lost their Top 16 seeding.
Who's Gaining
- ViBe, Fenix, Thorzain are threatening to move into the Top 16 with strong runs at MLG Anaheim

^^ thats understandable. Playing noobs(comparatively) for two days, plus travel time and then getting a shot at the real tournament is kinda like a waste of time for july.
so the top 16 players are seeded into pool play?
|
I wonder if the Koreans consistently place well enough to qualify for pool play, will they keep bringing more over, because if all of them do well at Anaheim, that could be 12 Koreans in pool play at the MLG after that.
Of course, this is assuming that the Koreans in the pools come back. If they don't, would they be replaced with the new set of Koreans?

Wheres Huk?? He is going to anaheim iirc
|

From what I understand, 4 new Koreans will be invited each time. The previous Koreans (I.E. MC, MMA, Losira, Moon, July) won't have paid trips, which means if they want to compete again they will need to pay their own way. A Korean outside the Top 16 has little/no incentive to do this (July).
Unknown whether other Koreans will deem it worthwhile to send their players to compete for $14,000. I'd imagine MC and MMA would return (random guess).

2010 points don't carry over.

I was under the impression that they had to qualify to make to get the free pass to the next MLG regardless of there performance at the last one. It is then up-to the teams if the players who did well will pay out for the travel.
I may be wrong on that though
|
i didnt expect people to be moving up and down so quickly, very interesting.
|
How many people are seeded into the player pool? I thought 20, and not 16?
(total of 24 players in the pool, minus 4 invites from Korea)

I'd bet anything that teams would find some sponsor money to get any Korean who qualified for pool play over to any MLG event. All they have to do is go to the sponsors and show the MLG broadcast numbers and the sponsors would love that kind of exposure.
Plus MLG and GSL have agreement not to overlap broadcasts so their schedules should be free.
MMA, MC, Losira will be there again. Just watch.

You missed Socke 650 and Huk 460 like others noted before me.
Does anyone know how they handle tiebreakers? Like Tyler and Thorzain?

16 people are seeded.
4 koreans are invited.
4 people from the open bracket.

Not having july show up to the next MLG is =(
I might be a tad worried that if the 4 koreans (moon, mc, mma, losira) show up to the next MLG along with 4 other korean players, MLG would slowly turn into a "mostly korean" tournament.
|
I have been looking at the MLG format until my head hurt and still can't figure out at what point are players guaranteed a spot in the Providence group stage. Maybe someone smarter than yours truly can it figure out.
|
only if july has defeated moon... sigh
|
Understandable that tyler is out of the top 16. His showing unfortunately wasn't as great as I remember him =/
