Seriously that is the HARDEST moment of any starcraft players career, they should be sitting there sweating it out back to back. That is where stars are made. I agree. I would compare it to splitting up a tenis champion match with some sets played one day and the rest played the following day. No one wants to see that. | ||

2) At this point in the post I am neutral, I assume there is a good reason. 4) It makes sense to have higher ranked players seeded, but why does every team get treated equally, why does an eSTRO/ACE (although this might be unfair as they both have improved substantially) get the same seed as say SKT. If a team has a lot of players in that win a game in the previous MSL (like Samsung) why should a weaker player get a seed. In short I hate this decision. Ro8 1) Dumbest move ever 2) I am glad they are moving away from the dumb preset bracket phase, but they should have a way of randomizing it, like have a 2-0 player randomly selected followed by a 2-1 player. | ||

Of course it should, each team is each team and ACE is no exception. | ||

Then again if SKT1 has already let say 3 to 4 players seeded to survivor (or MSL directly) they get highest KESPA ranked guy as bonus. Don't know when they choose those 12 players to survivor tournament. I assume its before offline qualifiers (otherwise players like Best etc could get spot to survivor even if he lost offline qualifiers). I bet OSL is going to change offline qualifiers too to match MSL some point (having 20 groups for MSL and 24 for OSL sounds weird and unfair) | ||

The KeSPA thing isn't so bad as long as they don't continue to go that way (ie more seeded players later in the tournament). People who are screaming at this forget that MST is outside the Ro32 even. It's not a big deal to seed players by KeSPA rank into the MST, because the entire offline into MST qualification process is a grueling and brutal format as it is. They are just giving better players more rest and preparation time, which frankly isn't unfair because the lesser players get way more practice per match due to their less demanding schedules. It's not the Ro32, its the MST. | ||

I mean losing first game you are panicking next time you play, but at least BO5 you have 2 games to make comeback. You're overreacting a bit, I think. "I can SORT of understand" isn't exactly a ringing endorsement. | ||

Day 1: 4 games Day 2: 4 to 8 games Day 3: 4 to 8 games So I think its just to balance out games. Now if there would be ZvZ, TvT, ZvP, PvT matches, they could arrange that ZvZ is shown first at day 2 and either ZvP or PvT after that. Just to give variety of games. | ||
