So someone (foley?) mentioned that even with the roster lock, teams can still change.

Is that true?

I seem to recall something like that, but only when something drastic happened. I.E. a player quit or something. Anyone able to shed any light?

If Walshy plays half as well as he did at Nationals, the O2 should be worried. not sure about impact though

I honestly don't see FB losing in this pool. Impact will be their toughest match, I don't see that much else of a struggle there though.

Semifinals actually ;) Impact definitely is the toughest team there and I hope that FB hops on them early. If they don't, Impact might have a shot. And I don't want to see FB in the loser's bracket...

Does anyone know how Neighbor has been doing on Impact?

I literally just lol'd! It's okay Krillin, I will pretend I didn't see. Do you know what matches you will be reffing? Does the AM bracket even have refs?

This is on topic, I am talking about seeding ;)

Wow pool party 4 is a hard one for power :(

What do you guys think about Pool 2? Warriors and Instinct, that should be interesting. I wouldn't throw out GMM either. But wow that will be interesting to see Warriors play Instinct. Elamite is out for blood against Instinct.

I don't even know what I'm doing yet lol. They haven't given me a list of rules to study or anything. The AM teams do have refs, yes. Those guys are most likely to cheat if you ask me haha. They aren't being filmed! I just hope I get some time on the Main Stage. You guys be on the lookout!

I have Instinct winning that pool with ease. GMM to get 3rd

Impact first
Carbon 5th

I really wish FB was in both LANs coming up. I need to see how they stack up against EVERYONE!

pool 3 and pool 4 are scary.

How did they detirmine which teams got into each pool?
03-08-2011, 02:41 PM

@ Gazurk

I think it's determined by seed so for Pool 1 You have FB (1), Carbon (16) Classic (8) and Impact (a top 12 team)
Pool 2: Instinct (2), GMM(15), Warriors (7) and Ambush (a top 12 team)

So each pool should have two teams on opposite ends of the top 16 (1 and 16) and top 8 (1 and 8)

That would give the top 4 teams an advantage by playing teams lower in the standings.

I REALLY HOPE Carbon steps up shocks everybody by winning their pool, I would love to see Walshy dominate, and come back to the main stage with a bang

Yeah, I think Power is pretty much screwed when it comes to the pool play.

I think Power is a pretty good team. All the pools will be awesome to watch. Come on MLG, and multiple Reach streams?

Yes! I pay 5 bucks extra everytime, give me more! lol. It does suck that we will have to miss certain pool-play matchups, but I am sure that they will give us the best matches to watch. I also just want to see how some of these teams play. Especially Impact, Warriors, and Power.

Thats kinda along the lines ofsomething thats bugge dme about mlg for awhile. They can stream tons of other games, can stream tons of SC for instance, ALL OF IT with commentators.

And yet thier staple game, the one i watch the whole thing for, they barely commentate except the evenings. Then on top of that some of thier best games aren't even staggered, so they going on at the same time.

I mean seriously, they'll go 2-3 hours with no games or games from open bracket. And yet you can't stagger the main games throughout the entire evening? I can't stand watching a game on the stream when the game i'd rather be watching is on the feature station.

I think I remember Pucket saying he wanted to try and get all halo reach main stage games commentated.

Don't quote me on that.

That always ticket me off too! For example, I was at D.C. and was watching Str8 Rippin vs. Final Boss in WB Round 2 or 3...I forget. But anyway it was an amazing 3-2 series that Final Boss won, Pistola had a disgusting triple kill in game 5 FTW, and it wasn't on the mainstage. I was so pissed off that I couldn't rewatch it or anything when I got home. A match like that has to be on the mainstage. Whoever picked that one was an idiot. I feel bad for the people who didn't see that.

This would be awesome. It really does suck watching a game that isn't commentated. It bugs the hell out of me.

Exactly! On top of that its not like the forum on the right even keeps a very good update going. I mean its not like theres not a ton of fans or people who would gladly commentate. Or heck even type of steady info on the scrolling forum.

I mean your staple game, and they can't even run multiple streams so i can chose which of the two i want to wtch. Although i'd want to watch both, at least a choice would work. MLG needs to take some lessons from Mr P on how to stream properly!!!
