well it was GOING to be randomly drawn single elimination so they were basically making the format up on the spot when they decided to change it.

I hate it when in SC they don´t have the competition rules and formats done beforehand.
Is this the way they plan these:

- Mmm... so what do we need?
- players?
- oh great idea, let´s invite some and make them play!
- yayy !

If I invite 32 people to a tournament and randomly give out the 1st 2nd and 3rd prize money I bet that seems fair to you as well but that is not the essence of hosting a tournament. If you are a good player and get put in a bad spot randomly that is not what most people consider fair in a tournament that is meant to determine the best player.

This is why most well-ran tournaments in all sports work with good formats and seeds for the top-teams.

Why didn't they just make it 2 advance from each group, another group stage with 5 in each group. Again 2 advance each -> Semifinal?

Oh well, I guess this is better than single elimination brackets.

I mean they have 25 people invited and come up with a horrendous structure, whereas 24 gives you a perfect amount to come up with a whole bunch of good formats. Rekrul ruined it.

too many games will be played and that puts off organisers, but i guess this format will spice up the 2nd day of tournament. I think they are thinking whatever format is put up korean will win it.

Yeah, it's quite strange that they didn't make more of having all these great players gathered. Playoff's literally only five matches. Also, according to the page where I found the results, several matches from group play weren't finished. If that the case, I'm guessing it's beceause the groups had already been decided, but it's still really a shame.
I am not sure what to say

the best thing to do with 25 would've been to put all 2nd place finishers in another group and eliminate the bottom two, leaving them with 8 to the quarter finals

Typical bisu fail.

Before: I'm too good for those Chinese players. I'll simply out-mechanics their noob asses.

After: Oh well, I didn't need the $10,000 anyway...

Guess how Stork won against IdrA in Game 2.
+ Show Spoiler +
DT Drop


Also results of White-Ra vs Terror

(Z)Terror < Destination > (P)(ua)White-Ra
(Z)Terror < Heartbreak Ridge > (P)(ua)White-Ra

So I guess tomorrow will be 3rd/4th place between White-Ra and IdrA, and the final will be Stork vs Terror.

Stork should take it easily, apparently Terror's achilles is his ZvP.

wouldn't it be better to put everyone on equal footing to determine the best player? it seems to me like it is eliminating external factors that might skew the results
