I think a lot of the brackets are going to be stacked like this today, but if you think about it then it kind of makes sense. Obviously most of the amateur players (who either study or have jobs) will choose to play on the weekend rather than on a weekday, so the result is that the Monday and Tuesday brackets have less amateurs and therefore are stacked with a higher percentage of pros.
I'd put money on the fact that GOM intentionally stacked Monday and Tuesday, so that amateurs would have a better chance the first 2 days. They wanted to get a crop of new faces for season 2.

김정식, 유두열, and 유지영 are in the Ro8 of A-1 along with Cella if anyone really cares.

cella definitely has some entertaining stuff "holy check" on his hand in his televised match, stinks that he is going to get pwned by clide

No. No x1000.
They have no reason to get a "new faces" if the new faces are bad. If anything, they'd benefit from spreading all of the talent out as best they could so the level of games are overall higher. Name recognition, past, and back story is how fans spring up. A constant group of new faces does not encourage it; it discourages it. Instead of having a rooting interest in a match you simply find yourself asking. "Who are these 2 randoms?"

clide versus 김진수 coming up ...

I hope Cella can manage some wins! Rooting for him in my dreams now that I'm going to sleep.

I (obviously) only know Cella, but good to know that he's in the Ro8 anyways.

I thought the brackets are just completely random. I'm getting tired of all of these GOM conspiracy theories. Why would they want new faces if they suck?

Cella's ganna face Clide
That sucks

The stated purpose of these first couple GSLs is to find 96 players and seed them for 2011. So I think GOM would have a reason to give some new people a chance. By new people, I mean ex-WC3, ex-SC1, foreigners, etc.., who did not play in season 1 or who are clearly not as good as the season 1 qualifiers.
75% of the GSL season 1 qualifiers did not play in the first two days of the tourney. Take a look at the number of round of 32, round of 16 players in the first 2 days. Why are the last 2 days so stacked? Statistically, it's quite unlikely to be so far off the mean.

Everyone keeps going on about how these days will be stacked.. what if most of the top 64 just aren't going? lol

심정섭, and 정우인 have advanced to Ro8 of A-2 along with PoltPrime.
김대곤 has also advanced to Ro8 of A-1. Dunno AKAs of these guys yet.
Clide and TOP are both at the Ro16 stages still.

Btw, thanks for the updates Roffles.

GOM knows the fans want to see all their favorite players make it in, they have absolutely no reason to rig the brackets so that the pros take eachother out. Enough with the conspiracy theories, seriously.
