Or since non stop self advertisement? (Got Gold? uagh...) Or tons and tons of downtime with endless crowdshots with the underlying endless guitar riffs? . . I'm actually surpised people are surprised about this most recent fuckup... Seriously, MLG has done so many errors... I still don't get (it ) why some people can think back and have the opinion that NASL was EVER worse... It wasn't, it was just overhyped but alltogether they allways delivered a more "solid" product (which was oversized/overenthuastic... but never truely "bad").
While you might argue about the MLG system and their mistakes, they really did never fuck up in such a major way. I will jump on the bandwagon with this incident and bash them, because they deserve it, but they really don't deserve that this qualifier is named as their standard quality.

Some NA players already decided to play on EU because of that. ^.^"

In the top 16 it's 3 CN(including the 1 DQ'd), 1 EU, 1 NA, 11 KR.

Oh the horror. MLG messed up a qualifier...now 10 or so good players missed out on a .02% chance to make it through a 500 man SC2 tournament. And *gasp* they didn't allow community casters to stream all the games!! This is almost worse than the Boston bombings. Fuck it, it is worse. That's why I'm gonna use harsher language and get more riled up about this than I do about real problems.
Lol c'mon people...check your tone. Gamers complain way too much.

You are complaining, too, about the people who complain. And sarcasm is not any better than rage.
The complaints are justified.

And what did wise Doodsmack say: [Make fun by exaggerating], [the guys arbitrarily excluded would not have won anyway], [strawman the fact that casting was sub-par], [hyperbole some more using a sensitive topic to many], [belittle people in the thread], [hide cheaters being allowed to play, arbitrary admin actions that delegitimize the bracket and take away people's right to compete (Comm), terrible bracket management, etc]
Either think your post through and respond to the actual points, or don't post. If you're happy to watch such a tournament, go ahead. But this was one of the worst viewer and competitor experiences in years and I, for one, don't want the best SC2 has to offer to be so bad.
Edit: And he's banned before I finish my response.

Yeah, so let's use viewers when it's useful (i.e. when looking for sponsors "please, tweet to my sponsor your support even if you don't know them or haven't bought any of their products") but ignore them when they say something is wrong.
The community often overreacts (in good and bad fashion), it's a fact, but that's how it is.

Can somebody clarrify me on this issue.... Are those KO players who choose to play in WCS America are ALLOWED ONLY to play on this server and of the same registered/declared account? What I'm trying to say is that even though KO are in WCS America, are they really helping the NA players improve their game by restrictedly playing/practicing on the same server. Perhaps the region lock is on tournaments basis only and not the ladder ones.

Agreed. MLG's actions have been pretty much inexcusable for an event of this caliber every step of the way.

No way in hell those players are practising on NA.

I believe Hyun should be ban from Korean region WCS compitetition for mess up other region qualifier. MLG should bring it to the WCS admin..

As far as I know it has nothing to do with regular ladder play. How can they even enforce that? You could just have another account and play through a different IP (if Blizzard would even go that far!). On the other hand they could require you to "play at least X games on this acc to prove your activity in this region".
No.. no way :D, there is no such limitation and rule for laddering..

What a shame. We get to see Koreans in Proleague and the GSL, do we really also need to see them in WCS America?
The games I enjoyed the most were the ones between America GM's. Fun to follow the American scene.

And what should they say about themselves? They let a known hacker defeat several people in their own qualifier before they banned him. Should MLG ask the WCS admin to ban MLG?

What i don't get about the whole Hyun fiasco is why the fuck did anybody actually play games against him ? It should've been perfectly clear to anyone that he wouldn't be allowed in this. My first reaction upon seeing Hyun as an opponent would've been "hmm something ain't right here , better contact an admin" .
