I'd rather see them meet in the WCS Korea finals (but MKP would have to get through the qualifers first).

Sad to see MKP and DRG won't be there, like most people, but now some other players will have a chance! I'm really looking forward to watching, as I have a premium subscription or whatever. Watch ALL the streams in HD xD

Too bad its the same weekend, missing a bunch of sweet players from TSL. And I wonder why no MKP, I guess he thinks he'll have Code A shortly after? MLG have been doing this ever since their fallout with GSL. They have scheduled a ton of things during important GSL dates. Its really dumb and now they're making players choose. boo!

Wouldn't be surprised to see Ryung/Leenock not going since they are vital to their team's chances at making the finals. Alicia has been on a foreign tear lately and even if he stayed in Korea, could probably be the fourth Toss in the depth chart with Puzzle/JYP and maybe Crank who Slayers has huge confidence in.

GSL is on every week. MLG every 6 weeks. Then insert Dreamhacks, IEMs, IPLs It's just a given at this point that rosters will clash.

Who would take Leenock's spot if/when he withdraws? The lowest Anaheim finishers who are currently in the Arena based on their results there are aLive and GanZi. The players who finished in the same spot as them were MC (who was likely asked about the spot already and had to pass it up due to GSL) and Grubby (who made it into the Arena already through the European Invite-Only Online Qualifier). The next tier of finishers below them (listed in order of seed, because I don't know the number of "MLG Points" they have to break ties) was:
Ryung (already in through KR IOOQ) Socke (registered for, but no-showed EU IOOQ) Rain (already in through KR IOOQ) Golden (already in through NA IOOQ)
If Socke can't make it, the next tier is:
viOLet (already in through NA IOOQ) Dream (already in through KR IOOQ) ThorZaIN (possible GSTL and/or Code A commitments; didn't attempt EU IOOQ) Lucky (his team is in GSTL semi-final match)
and then:
Heart JYP Sleep Suppy

Do we know if there's going to be some sort of barcraft in NYC for this? I haven't seen anything in the barcraft section or TL community. Didn't know if MLG had a place on lockdown for a Barcraft or not.
|
No mkp.... T_T
so mkp is not here because he has other tournaments to attend to, am I right? OCS, WCS etc. ?
|
will MC have to qualify through open bracket?
|
stephano is the reason why we should watch this tournament ^_^
|
leenock 'officially' confirmed as not attending
Joshua Dentrinos @FXOBoSs I am sad to inform you that Leenock will not be attending MLG Arena, as he wishes to part take in the GSTL semi final
dang

Boss tweeted that Leenock will be playing in GSTL instead of MLG so he will need to be replaced. If Thorzain is the next player, I think he will go.

Thanks for the info (makes sense that he'd do the KR qualifier). Replacements for players who qualified through Anaheim are selected using the Anaheim finishing order (IOOQ results are irrelevant), so Socke would be next, followed by one of ThorZaIN/Lucky.

I would humbly submit the Idea of reorganizing some of the classic caster duos.
I like all current combos more or less, but what I would really like to see is two things:
The Plott Brothers United! They've been apart of SC for as long as it's been available, they need to cast together! At least a couple times!
Because this leaves Artosis without his usual other half, it leaves him open to team up with MrBitter, to create the second best duo name on the scene, ArBitter! And you have to admit, the name demands it be done.

They've already said they won't cast together. Please stop asking...

Tasteless isn't even going to this arena, and they also said they will never cast together

I cant believe u didnt invited beastyqt, he could outclass almost all of other invitees...

Glad to see TOP is going. Hopefully he'll be able to perform well and get picked up by someone.

Places in this Arena are earned through performance in Anaheim or the online qualifiers. Beastyqt tried the NA Open Online Qualifier and was eliminated after consecutive 1-2 losses to AnDa and DignitasKiller.

Leenock cannot attend the SC2 Arena. Grubby will takes his spot in the Spring Championship Top 8 and Tefel will fill Grubby's EU qualifying spot.
