The df (degrees of freedom) decrease with every person who draws. It's not random, this is just a matter of conditional probabilities. If I knew more about the procedure they used I could say more, but from what I could gather, this is the conclusion. Also, if the 'most equal' distribution is something you're aiming for, then using this sort of "randomization" is not a good choice because sample distributions for variables only start to even out at n>30 (25 if you want to be conservative about it) per group. So if you want an even distribution of skill/race within each of the 8 cells, that's at least N=240 (200) players in total. We're at 32. Please, learn probability better. The order tickets are being drawn does not matter. Everyone's chance of being drawn for any particular spot is still 1/32. (That said, they do seem to have seeded people who made finals - have they made their policy clear?) | ||

I dont like to see so many players of one team in one group (like oGs in group F, B or C), things like this end up in situations where you either eliminate your teammate or trade points so you both can advance. They should have had a system for their picking where teammates cant end up in the same group. | ||

Should they then draw the groups based of some weird Algorithm for Race/Nationality/Team? How about prefered match up? Maybe two top players enters the same group -> still complaints? You see where im heading with this. Random is the only truly neutral solution I definitely don't think foreigners should be treated specially somehow. Don't know why everybody thinks so... As a side not, I really think it's totally wrong of GSL to reserve spots for "top foreigners". If they want to aid top foreigners then perhaps help paying some expenses or something, but don't give them special treatment in the tournaments! The "same team" issue is perhaps more serious. But I don't think it's too serious. I think that's something that people would be willing to accept and it wouldn't cause too much harm to the tournament or spectators. Edit: but I get your point. And the point other's is making. And yeah, I didn't mention anything about seeds either. Would be stupid to have the top 3 players in the same group etc. | ||

A: NesTea, Maka B: Fruitdealer, MVP C: HongUn, and... uh, somebody. BoxeR, I guess. D: Rain, + either sSKS (which I totally fanboyishly hope for) or choya E: Leenock, Genius F: MC and NaDa. Even if it's full of great players, I'd say NaDa has a huge advantage by only having to practise 1 matchup. G: Seems like the easiest bracket, should be a breeze for MK and Clide H: Well, I'll root for a Jinro + IdrA outcome, but it'll be more likely that Check advaces over one of them Also, I sure hope these brackets shut people up about Gom rigging the groups. | ||

If you're just sad about it, that's one thing of course. But some seem to imply that GOM should have adjusted for that. | ||

Rainbow is the seeded player in that group, assassinating the last protoss in GSL 1 and 2 quarterfinals, Tester in season 1 and Genius in season 2. The only reason MC may be in the season 3 finals is that he didnt have to play Rainbow. The guy just doesnt lose to toss, and theres 2 toss in his group. | ||

Rainbow is the seeded player in that group, assassinating the last protoss in GSL 1 and 2 quarterfinals, Tester in season 1 and Genius in season 2. Because he looked really weak in GSL3. Maybe he's just not good at TvZ (which would mean that Leenock would still walk all over him). Also, Genius could've beaten him in his semis, if he played his own builds instead of ripping off InCa's style and failing at it. Which, as I recall, he admitted in his Interview. I honestly expect Genius to beat him this time. And since Leenock can probably take both Genius and Rainbow, those two are the ones I see advancing. (Plus, I just don't like Rainbow, but that's just a minor factor in my decision!) | ||

I can understand wanting to be random but couldn't you put some parameters into the group settings to make them not a joke? If people do think random is the only way then there is no reason you shouldn't be able to reshuffle these results randomly again (don't even tell us if u dont want tho it's too late now). There isn't a reasonable person alive who can look at these brackets and think they are good in any conceivable way. Also, I like how "randomly" Boxer ends up with a complete joke of a group. | ||
