Why dont these guys play ESL where it is bigger prize pool?

*e* oh, wasnt really bigger
▼
Noorgrin 14 Oct 2011, 11:19
cause MLG can qualify you for GSL Code A or S, and there is a bigger prizepool at the finals in the end.

And ofc you earn ranking points from each MLG stop... also the group seedings are based on this ranking.
