I actually doubt that redbeard even knew which envelopes were which
Although really, they needed to get one of those bingo spinner things and have a cage with 4 balls with team logos on them.
They did that last year to find who got snubbed out of a bye. Then Korea got snubbed randomly at their own reigonal. People bitched the same way.

mark my word, Gama Bear gonna show the world what is up and retrace TPA's step:
1.Beat a top seed Korean team. (NJS / SKTT1)
2.Beat a Russian team. (M5=Gambit)
3.Beat what the rest of the world consider as the strongest team atm. (Frost/OMG or Roayl)
I sure hope so. But I dont think its gonna happen this year.

I know nothing about Royal except that they beat OMG 3-1 before.
1) Do they have LAN experience?
2) Are they good at adapting?
3) Are Royal that far ahead of OMG, or can OMG take them on a good day? OMG is the better team, regionals was an upset and OMG used coma instead of bigpomelo
Okay thanks for the info.
Despite my gripes about the tournament format and the China shafting I'm looking forward to watching the quarterfinals.

OMG is probably Royal's worst draw. Their weirdness and all-out wild skirmishing aggression won't take OMG by surprise like it could have SKT, Fnatic or Gambit. Oh well.
I'm predicting Sword/SKT and OMG/Fnatic. SKT vs. OMG final. SKT 3-1. Piglet MVP.
Had SKT vs. OMG as the final before group stages, so no real reason to change now.

This seeding.... gonna be stupid if Royal loses; we basically wouldn't get to see them play any world teams. If I wanna see OMG vs Royal, I'll just look at one of the chinese LPL vods...

booo bo3

1. SKT > Bears -> Come on its SKT, kings of adapation
2. NJS> GG -> GG looking shaky in group stages
3. OMG < Royal -> Repeat of Chinese Regionals
4. C9 < Fnatic -> No international EXP will bite them
5. NJS > SKT (upset) -> Favorites to win summer will upset
6. Royal < Fnatic -> Close series, could go either way
7. NJS > Fnatic -> 3-2 Finals could go either way also.
oh and
+ Show Spoiler +"Maknoon wants back into NJSW" - headlines after worlds

actually if you take wei2coolman's posts and replace the name with PX you'd probably think he was serious too. Its quite enjoyable that people are ignoring entire sections of my posts in order to try to mock me. It really just makes the people responding look illiterate. Your detective skills are almost as fucking bad as your theorycrafting.
If they wanted a legit cool ceremony that has only minimal bias introduced. Then have a platform with all the teams cards held up, and the captain walks over to and removes the envelope from the stand, the stand lights up and shit and shows the matchup after the card is revealed.
removes the chance for a human to introduce bias in what is supposed to be a random ceremony.

I feel Black Sword match-up well with Gambit. Pray and Cain are the most experienced Korean bot lane and one of the strongest, and I can see them bullying Genja and Voidle. Expession has been touted as the next big Korean top forever, so hopefully he finally finds success after two years of cursed failure. Mid will be the biggest point. Will be interesting if they go with Ssong or Nagne.

And then you'll complain that whoever put those envelopes put them in that order on purpose and then used subliminal messaging to sway the captain's choices.

Fnatic vs Royal would have been quite an interesting game. unfortunate it didn't turn out that way

I hold high hopes for NJS. People have been saying they are fucking STRONG. 10-0 iG, zzitai believes they're the favorites and this is coming from a chinese player who witnessed OMG go like 6-0 at this point. Fnatic have also scrimmed against NJS and they've said they've been having major problems against them and that they're probably the strongest in brackets along with SKT and OMG.
