By now if you follow one of the hundreds of resources online to find information on StarCraft 2 you've heard about some of the major changes to MLG this year. There have been images made to make everything much more understandable and some new information has come to light in the past few days.
Earlier this week, Slasher posted over on Teamliquid.net about the new format changes to the circuit for 2011. There is a lot to take in, and a lot that people didn't quite understand at first. Which is why Motbob, one of the editors over at TL made it easy on everyone creating an image to give users a better understanding.
So you've seen what it all looks like, but lets get into some of the finer details of the new season. The top 16 players from the 2010 season have all been seeded and will not have to go through the early tournament to make it to the championship brackets. The players are:
| Seeded Players for MLG Dallas 2011 | |||
| Player | Points | Player | Points |
  Liquid`HuK | 2835 |  ROOT.Slush | 1720 |
| ROOT.KiWiKaKi | 2445 |   ROOT.qxc | 1490 |
| FnaticMSI.TT1 | 2360 | EG.IdrA | 1440 |
| dignitas.SeleCT | 2200 |  alTernate.Socke | 1275 |
| LG.PainUser | 1970 |  Liquid`Ret | 1150 |
| ROOT.drewbie | 1925 |  Liquid`TLO | 1050 |
| Liquid`Tyler | 1900 | LG.Agh | 1040 |
 Liquid`Jinro | 1800 | EG.Machine | 975 |
If any of the above players go to the first event in Dallas this year, will automatically be seeded into the Championship bracket (which can be viewed above). Making their journey much easier, though after the first event in Dallas last years points mean nothing as we begin anew.
