All these three star players performed sub-par last season, now they are paying the price. Hydra and great just did what bettered their chances the most, you cant blame them for not setting the stages up for the fan favourites (its not even their fans they are letting down :-p). Except that's numbers 1,2,3, and 15 by ELO and ELO is way more accurate than "MSL seed". What Hydra and Great did was bad for the tournament. Good for themselves if all they care about is winning, but is winning really worth it if you don't go through the strongest competition? I'm always happy when good players make it through the early rounds because it makes the win that much better. What win is more impressive to you Hydra's run through MSL last season or Flash's first Bacchus run through the other 3 members of TBLS in series play. | ||

Only way it could be worse is one of the top 8 + 9,10,11. One worse group by this logic could have been  great,  Bisu, free and  Flash, that everyone would have called easy for Bisu and Flash. I'm not saying the group we have is not ridiculous (in a good and a bad sense too), but it's important to note that Flash and Bisu just didnt finish high enough last season to earn the protection of the seeding system, there's nothing unfair about this.One one hand, surely I'm disappointed too to not see any BoX games between these players, but at least this is going to be one of the most unique groups in a Ro32 we've ever witnessed. 2 or 3 games between these names, all with the importance of an ace game or a Set 5. I'm looking forward to it. | ||

It's just an entirely selfish move that one wouldn't expect a progamer to make when the average progamer is also willing to use their turn to switch out a team battle in the group stages. Who is still a Hydra fan? Not Bisu fans, I guess. I can't say I'm displeased with FvB in the Ro16--glad to see them guaranteed to play each other, and hopefully when Flash demolishes Bisu we can all enjoy some sweet fanboy tears. More concerned with Jaedong--Jaedong is actually good against Flash | ||

Exactly the type of thing SKT players love to practice for. | ||
