Head to Head Match Winning Percentage > Head to Head Games Winning Percentage > Round Robin Games Winning Percentage > and Average Victory Time (Combined Game Time in Round Robin Games Won / Round Robin Games Won.

* Average Victory Time won’t be used to break a tie that would result in the elimination of a Team(s). The following procedures will be used for such ties. Average Victory Time will be used to set a One Game Playoff(s). If three Teams are tied for 1st Place, in the Round Robin Standings, the Team with the lowest Average Victory Time will advance to the Final Match and the other two Teams will play one Game. If three Teams are tied for 2nd Place, in the Round Robin Standings, Average Victory Time will be used to rank the Tied Teams for a One Game Playoff Ladder. The lowest ranked Tied Team will play the next highest ranked Tied Team in one Game.The winner of the Game will move on to play the highest ranked Tied Team in one Game, with the winner of that Game advancing to the Final Match.

Yeah I don't understand. Where is dig, clg, evo, TD, mono? Did they all lose the qualifiers and there was only one spot available?

Heres a link to the qualifiers. http://www.leaguepedia.com/wiki/2012_MLG_Pro_Circuit/Summer_Arena/Qualifiers

Only 2 teams qualified, Curse(NA) and BLACK(EU)

only 4 teams seems kinda bland but, havent seen much of Blaze or BLACK should be fun.

Black < Curse < TSM < Blaze

4 teams with such big known skillgaps between them really puts a damper on this tournament for me.

4 teams = 20 plane tickets to NYC. also looking forward to seeing Blaze vs TSM, as TSM continues to downplay the strength of the OGN league.

Pretty sure the only reason TSM downplays it is because there not in it.

it really sucks for MLG if Korean teams start to dominate LOL. take this for tournament for example, they can only fly in 4 teams and be profitable because of the 5 korean plane tickets, but read the thread and you can see 90% of the hype is generated by the presence of Blaze.

meanwhile because of the size of the country, both GSL and OGN can host LAN events 365 days a year.
