MLG Orlando Station Feedback

MLG Orlando race has ended, Check6 (now the Complexity Black) once again using their powerful combination of Beastmaster kitchen knife to get the championship, of which there are a lot of things worth considering.

    The first point, first of all I would like to congratulate Complexity Black, because, although they have some combination of OP, but this time the other teams can no longer use the “we do not have time for this team to do practice,” and excuses. Complexity Black has used a kitchen knife Beastmaster took part in the four line combo match, although I think this team is very strong (compared to other balanced lineup is stronger in this respect), but Button Bashers and SK-EU already in Anaheim Station proved that they are not invincible. MLG Orlando races only thing I am disappointed: Complexity Black beaten 2-2 with BB when the replacement of anti-war / hunter / knight combo. This game clearly shows that the use S5 equipment, anti-war is still uneven. From my personal perspective, if I was the organizer of MLG, I will always be after the start of the competition prohibit the use of anti-war contest.

    Here we have to say a few words Complexity Black reflects the positive side, that is, they are in the arena would be to adapt to change, Flexx from the initial use DK to enhance shaman, and even now with the beginning of the anti-war, these are to win game hot career. Such an approach for a sports project, is healthy have to be discussed, but the team is really Complexity Black will play the line game.

    Secondly, as Ming, and many others say, this scale is too small MLG event. The following factors make this session only four teams to compete “MLG Champion” competition it is very stupid:

    1) The first day of competition, including an “all-star” competition aspect is to allow players not in the same team formed a new team and then play. This is entirely inconsistent with the MLG “Championship,” the name of the first, more like MLG “practice of the General Assembly”, to be honest that things really should not be put on live the weekend. Yes, I fully understand this “All Star” game sense, the reason for setting this sector because the organizers no way to make a only four teams participated in the competition covered by a two-day schedule. I just point the All-Star tournament game, because I think it’s too unprofessional, and for me this is even a “MLG Tour title.”

    2) The player is invited to the individual points based on previous competition to determine the entry qualifications. In other words, players in the previous game even if the performance is good, will get points to get to participate in MLG Championship qualifications. At this time there will be problems, and many teams have been disbanded for a few months, and now they were re-combined competition, for example, Kollektiv, and Azael only once teammates, although the new shaman is already the Tenderloin, and there are Glickz absent in the contest, even though the last line match with him and Realz won second place.

    Here I want to say is, MLG organizers were also too lacking in vision for the game.
