Which is just retarded, meanwhile other players have to play about 3times the games in very difficult qualifiers to be on an equal footing. I've been in competitive gaming for a long time, i played CS 1.6 competitively and went to lots of lans/events up until around 2008. So i've seen my fair share of stupid systems that people have tried to come up with. But this has got to be one of the most flawed. How are you guaranteed a top 25 every event? If you get out of the top 16, you have to go through open the next event, possibly getting knocked out of open. If people do not show up then you get bumped. It just so happened that Gretrop AND Sheth got lucky (yet no one has mentioned Sheth) and got bumped up or else they would be going through the qualifier. | ||

Nani got a relatively easy group, got this ezpz. MMA gonna smash through group B, but predicting group C is... harder. I wonder who's gonna come through the open brackets though. And which of them gets fed to the super-nerds in group C. gonna be pretty sick~ | ||

I thought it was suppose to look like this A B C D 1 2 3 4 8 7 6 5 12 11 10 9 so on and so forth Because it is supposed to Snake. Meaning it starts on one side and then alternates starting on the other side next. A B C D 1 2 3 4 8 7 6 5 9 10 11 12 16 15 14 13 The reason you are confused is because they added 4 koreans. So it goes in the same direction twice with... 20 19 18 17 The only reason it does this is because it's not normally a part of the group... and they wanted the weakest Korean in the best group. Not the proper way to do it... but hard to do it properly with an awkward number. Properly it should look something like... A B C D 1 2 3 4 8 7 6 5 9 11 12 10 15 14 13 16 20 19 18 17 To even it out for 20. However, it gets tricky. | ||

Sorry to say that I think the Liquid'Slump may continue. I have more faith in Ret to make it out of that group. | ||

I know that he isnt able to participate in this MLG because of the ESL-Finals, but will he lose any "points" he has earned until now for the next MLG after Columbus? | ||

Would like to see Dimaga, WhiteRa, Thorzain, HasuObs, BratOK Kas and so on. Really weak European field, but understandable i guess, expensive trip. Takes a lot away from MLG that only the weakest of the three best servers have their top players at the event. | ||
