I don't get OGN. Where is the seeding? Two seasons in a Row! First you put K and Blue in the same group, silly, but blame K I guess. Now we get a second season in a row of Blue, White, and K on the same side?

I swear, its like they really want Najin White Shield to go to worlds despite never winning a series against a top 4 team in any season.

Executive decision: switch SKT1K and SKT1S, then swap Samsung White vs. (now S) with KTA v. NJWS.

Based on merit. K hasn't proven they've deserved anything since Winter.

Well at least they proved it then...Shield is just the luckiest. I mean, I hope KTA smashes that side of the bracket really hard. Also even if K is bad now, they still are idiots for putting Blue and White on the same side of the bracket!

Well, it happens.
Esports never had proper seeding, so welp.

But it's probably best KT chance to win OGN since last Summer. Soon it's going to be like "Once a year, when everything blooms, once of KT teams rises from ashes just to reach the finals".

And i don't think that K chances are that low against White. And i don't think that Blue are going to win that season either.

Lol, what a legend.

Well, they used to never seed the Illinois high school state championships...but they started when the top 2 or 3 teams/individuals kept facing each other in the untelevised Rounds of 16 and 8. Luckily OGN doesnt have that problem, but it still has the Najin Shield problem the last 2 seasons, plus (maybe, Im not the adjudicator of all of what is a strong Korean team) the Samsung/K problem.

I just want to see a bracket with the best chance of putting the top 4 teams in the top 4, top 2 in the finals, and avoid giving a team that hasn't shown that it is top 4 an automatic worlds berth.

It's not like that's OGN who chooses matches and not players who choose the balls.

NJWS were legit top-2 team last season, this season they're slumping but it's what happens usually if you're not SKT T1 K mid-2013/winter-2014.
Also there is no clear...not even top-4, even top-3.

And until DanDy keeps taking SKT T1 K ball and Faker's team will continue to drop games in groups, possibility of this will remain.
Yes, Shield were lucky in Winter. Were they lucky last season? Getting KT B and Blaze? Oh boy, if it's lucky path, i'm done.
But they're clear top-4 if we count Winter/Spring/Summer season in general with Blue, White and K.

Well, I'm kinda suggesting the ball system is stupid.

Proper seeding might be retarded as well.
UCL use balls as well, noone whines.

well im glad najin shield showed up to play, because this is seriously good, albeit slow, play. absolutely slowed down the tempo and let it get to late game, where they shine.
