That said, nothing wrong for a platinum and diamond player to buy the pass when there are no rules concerning that. Just makes some games in the open bracket really meaningless for us spectators | ||

Also, for a competitor that gets eliminated, they can still spectate the rest of the weekend without buying a spectator pass, correct? | ||

What do you guys think? Do the finals typically end before 10? | ||

The latest train I can find returning to NJ on Sunday is at 10:22, and I'm not sure if I'll be able to afford the extra night (cutting it a bit close as is). The station is about a 10 minute walk from the convention center. What do you guys think? Do the finals typically end before 10? Absolutely not. Plus there's usually meet and greet and everyone's super excited for at least 1-2 hours post finals. Extra night would be loads better, but your call nevertheless. | ||

It would be cool to see HuK win too. Either way it's going to be an awesome tourney. MLG always does a really great job. | ||

Forgive me for this blasphemy, but I would not consider MVP and Nestea to have an easy time through the open brackets. Both players are heavy preparation-style players, who excel at the GSL where one can spend a week before-hand preparing for a single opponent. At Providence, it will be match after match, with little rest and time to prepare. MVP has proven himself at MLG, but he had the advantage of being in pool play, whereas this format will be relatively new to Nestea. For those who say that MVP should get an auto-seed for 1st place have a very good reason to say so, but such is the MLG format. MLG encourages consistent performance, which MVP has not shown. He was invited back for Raleigh, but declined (for good reason, to prepare for GSL, a much larger prize pool), but to MLG a no-show is means no points. If MLG wants to encourage consistent performance, it must increase the prize-pool tremendously, or most non-NA players simply will not be able to afford the trip alone. Best of luck to everyone! | ||
