They radically changed the formatting last time to be able to put Flash/Jaedong on opposite sides of the bracket when the Ro8 rolls around

How does that work? Did they change it specifically for that reason?

It would not be fair if they did. It should be random.

The previous format did the Ro8 sorting by Kespa rank. Rank #1 and #2 are on the opposite sides due to this format.

No way, too many zergs in the pool. While I love JulyZerg, his ZvZ is no longer good.
Best on the other hand is gonna Royal Road this MSL up. Impressive showing last night.

I'm counting on the fact that all the hardcore zergs are gonna have a very hard time adapting to these maps, and that july will get his zvt and zvz to a respectable lvl (or just do wierd shit that catches ppl of guard in games that matter) and then stomp all over tosses from the quarters to the finals
or in other words exactly what happened in the last OSL he won:D

Ultimately what's best for both the fans and the company behind it is an epic final between two giants of progaming. Fair doesn't come into it. If the #1 and #2 seeds face early and some scrub gets 3-0ed in the finals by the #1 then nobody wins.
