Prizepool and number of broadcasted matches seems really low. Cool to see the event having WCS points on the line
|
Hell, it's about damn time.

Its too bad they don't have the 6 stream content that they used to have. I am glad they implemented an open bracket I just hope they broadcast the games and story lines that will come out of it.
|
1/3 prizepool, only 1 stream, no group stage...ouch
|
oh this is good news with the open bracket i like it
|
25K? That used to be the prize for 1st place, now it's the entire prize pool? Wow...

As a viewer I'm kind of glad this is going to be a smaller event, there's just simply not enough time in the day to watch everything with the different WCS events and streams and stuff.
|
Only one stream? Disappointing to say the least..

Wasn't the old MLG system like having 5000 $ for 1st place and the big Prize Pool at the End of the season ?
|
There was a time when MLG had 4 streams... it was amazing.
1 stream is a huge disappointment.

Used to be the entire prize pool before it was the first place. First MLG winners won $5k.

That was a completely different system. It hasn't been like that since 2012.

wow only one stream? what is this......
|
So they announced it a month in advance and seems like the teams didn't know sooner too. So, how many players will actually come ? I wouldn't be surprised if it's the weakest MLG event in a LONG time.

the regret of life must be huge right now

Not only that look at the prize pool.

One stream? Lower prize pool? No reservations for top level players? Uh....this could end very, very badly.
