Results and Standings of Group of 16 Play (16 강):
There is a very very confusing process on how the groups are selected. The players are ranked 1-16. The top four are separated into Groups A-D respectively to their seeds. The bottom 4 get separated into their groups. Then going from 12-5. Those players put themselves in the group they want to go in. But here's the catch, as the rankings go higher, they can choose to switch spots with anybody. Crazy huh? Lastly the top four seeds get to pick their opponent. Not enough? You figure it out!
Now that the groups are selected, they will play 5 weeks of group play. The top two will advance to Group of 8 play. 2-0 automatically gives you first from your group. 2-1 Gets you second in the group.
Week 1: Round of 16. Groups A and B's first two games
Week 2: Round of 16. Groups C and D's first two games
Week 3: Losers' Match for all groups
Week 4: Winners' Match for all groups
Week 5: Game 5 for all groups (Winners of Week 3 vs Loser of Week 4) aka Decisive Match

Results and Standings of Group of 8 Play (8 강):
HonestTea honestly rocks my world. There will be two groups. 1st group will be A1, B2, C2, and D1. 2nd Group will be A2, B1, C1, D2. Players who got first in their groups gets to thumbs down a map like in WC3. So that means those who advanced first out of their group of 16 get to choose a map that will not be played in their matchups. The first two games are best of ones. The losers games will be best of 3, as will be the winners and the tiebreak.
