How did gretorp sneak his way into this?
Socke and Huk allowed gretorp back up into pool play by now going to the event.
of course Huk and socke will lose some points since they didn't participate. |

...Gretorp gets to stay in pool play because he was basically into top 16 by winning like one match? I'm REALLY not liking the system if it doesn't account points from before. People like Vibe, dde, mihai, etc. fought through the open bracket just to not get any help for mlg columbus?
I can't say I can agree with the system if it leads to brackets like this.
it seems you didn't read how the system works at all.. |

seems almost impossible to drop out of the seeded pool once you're there, unless you can't go ofc
looking forward to see pool C :-]Last edit: 2011-05-18 16:04:10 |

what? gretorp eliminated mihai (boxaaah) from mlg dallas gretorp took 18th...he bumped up cause 2 didn't go.. deal with it.
Do you think, incontrol, that TT1 or boxxah (I was just using him as an example to be honest) should have had to go through that many more games? Maybe Gretorp beat him, but how many did Boxxah beat that Gretorp didn't? I agree. He took the match, but did him taking that match off him mean he did more in that tournament? Gretorp underwhelmed badly. I understand the rules. But, I think it's a shame that's how it ended up working out. Hopefully Gretorp proves me to be an idiot and does work this tournament though.
forget about that man, i bust my ass all season long last year to get top 3 and then because i have a huge opportunity presented my way and decide to miss out on the 1st mlg of the year im already forced to deal with a huge handicap, top 4 of the open tournament get seeded in the main tour and the rest of the players from the open bracket go to losers, so even if u do make it from the open bracket and dont finish in the top 4 ur pretty much screwed off the bat, while the rest of the players in the champ. bracket pretty much get everything handed to them(not putting any of the blame on them the blame is to be put on whoever came up with this retarded format) this fucking tournament format is the stupidest shit that ive ever seen, goddddd sorry for the negativety but it makes me so mad.. had to vent out somewhere edit: then seeing mlg giving out free invites to the kors while they pretty much tell everyone else to go claw their way throught the tournament(and all the future tournaments) is the icing on the cake ^^ so classy
Don't go then. They are doing this for the bigger picture, business wise. They aren't going to cater to certain situations.
You mean like putting together a fair and even competition? |

its fair...?
I don't understand when a players risks his points by not participating and then blames the league's system. Shouldn't it be the players fault?Last edit: 2011-05-18 16:12:57 |

| Nani should take A with Kiwi probably taking B. Losira and Bomber will probably rofl all over c and d though. |

I don't like the new concept of the GSL <-> MLG exchange, I think "foreign" players won't be as benefited as koreans obviously. I also agree with TT1 about the seeding format. Hopefully it turns out to work well, I'd like to see more high class tournaments like this. But I'm a little worried.
Of course I'm also excited about these games, although group C really is crazy compared to A. |
