Yes! Finally!

I'm not sure why you need to randomize people again for ro16. I found out that in DRIT 5, there was a sacrilege committed in the bracket stage where group winners playing group winners in the ro16, runner ups playing runner ups, and the most bizarre case, two people from the same group playing each other in the ro16.
I don't know how the admins think about that, but imo those scenarios should be avoided at all cost.

I would like to advocate the system that was used in S1, S2, and S4.

A Winner plays B runner -up
C Winner plays D Runner -up
....
B winner plays A runner-up
D winnner plays C runner-up
....
etc.

I think this system ensures people get to play as many different opponent as possible since you can only meet the guy from your group again if you both reach the final or 3rd place match.


Just my 2 cents

This was used in previous DRITs, like DRIT1/2, maybe 3. Problem was, it became so predictable, sometimes players would just intentionally lose during group stages to place second instead of just playing their best to get an easier seed into the Ro16. This eliminates that predictability at the cost of maybe some repetitiveness.

If they intentionally lose to place 2nd, then they would play a group winner. Wouldn't that be harder?
Or are you saying for example, dude A is in group A, and a tournament favorite is in group C, so dude A purposely finishes runner-up to avoid potentially meeting tournament favorite in ro8?

I'm ok with randomizing in the ro16 as long as there are rules such as a group winner must play a group runner-up and two people from the same group cannot meet each other in the ro 16. (even ro8 is too early, it should be semi at least, but that's your call I guess)
Like I couldn't care less if A winner was match-up against B runner-up or C runner-up or D, E,F runner-up. As long as it's not A runner-up or a winner, it's fine

I'll think about something like this semi-random seeding bracket with RedAxis.

I just think winning a group should come with a benefit.
And two people from the same group not meeting each other so early in bracket stage is just so that people can play as many different opponent possible which I think fits nicely with the spirit of the tournament
That is all.

As a food for thought, what are people's thoughts on having one group (out of the 8) being predetermined outside of the random seedings?

1. It won't be me/RedAxis in a super easy group to improve our chances.
2. It won't be some super insane group of death either to eliminate stronger players, at least, not in the terms you might think.
3. It is meant to be an even playing field for these 4 specific players.
4. I don't really want to give out much more info than already is.
5. The remaining 7 groups will be randomized via group selection similar to how TLS2 was done.

Also, if there are no 4 suitable players, then it won't be done. ie. if only 2-3 of these specific players signed up, and there is no 3rd/4th suitable player to fill this group, it won't be done. There would be no predetermined group.

Let me know your thoughts/conspiracies/hate/etc.

Thanks.

So you mean like a group of Puccas so they don't get roflstomped?

Do you already have 4 potential players in mind? If so, how many have already signed up?

Hm, can't seem to piece it together just by looking at the list. Interesting.

I think that as long as it is not detrimental to the other players in the league or to the players in the group, there shouldn't be much of a difference.

I am unable to play on the same day as the groups. As such, I will ask the group I get placed in if they are able to play, say, 24 hours earlier. If they are not, then I'll have to pull out and someone will have to replace me. I apologize in advance for any inconvenience caused. With that in mind, if you see this and there are 32 signups, don't be afraid to sign up as people on the day will not be able to show up so you could still get a game.

For sure. In the past drits there were always some w.o.'s due to not show up. We are all amateurs and real life can happen every day. So dont be afraid to be number 34 or 35 on the list.
