Midas? WHYYYY???

So tough to root for baby bear to get the boot, but I guess I'll have to do it.

Jaedong vs. Kal has some history so it should be interesting I guess. Bisu vs Sea caught my eye as well. The two teammate brawls are a shame though, never like to see them have to face off so early, even if they are KT and SKT players

Bisu vs

All four of the KT players are still in the MSL. Rather impressive. It'll keep them in playing shape for the proleague finals.

Person who came out second in his group had to play JD.

Winner of his group got off much easier in only having to play Roro.

Poor Kal

Interesting how Violet and Hyuk won their pool groups and both now have to play their (generally considered) better teammate in the round of 16.

Confused about why people are upset Stork isn't in the Ro16 when it was well-advertised he lost to s2 in the MST. Not a close game, btw.

The brackets look super imbalanced, but maybe that's just me.

I don't know if anyone noticed but Jaedong is actually the only player still in this whose team didn't qualify for the playoffs

I really wish Jaedong had been able to go to another team back during the Free Agent kaibosh.
Imagine how much face SKT, CJ, FOX, Stars... well, pretty much mostly any other team would rape if they had Jaedong.

How does the Ro8 matchups work after this? What has to happen to ensure that Flash, Jaedong, Bisu, and Effort avoid each other so that they could all be in the Ro4?

I'd assume A plays B and so on.

Anyway, this starleague has the potential to be amazing.

don't they seed it according to kespa rank? Isn't this what caused Flash v Jaedong finals twice? Because MBC made it so that Flash and Jaedong would be on opposite sides of the bracket
