Why wouldn't they start it a couple of hours earlier? Then the times are reasonable for everyone...unless you live in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. 3 hours earlier: 10am East Coast 7am West Coast 4pm CEST 11pm Korean | ||

It's just that binarybeast automatic seeding places seeded players in different places than we normally have come to expect from the millions of online sc2 cups. Sort of like this: http://binarybeast.com/xBW1011191 | ||

While I haven't watched nearly as much of Goody's TvT as I would have liked, his TvZ series against Nestea in TSL3 was friggen unbelievable and the final game of that series is one of the few that I've watched more than three times: http://www.pokerstrategytsl3.com/vods But yeah he's a really fun player to watch especially if you get tired of seeing terran bioballs. | ||

Xeris obviously did the right thing by using the International ELO. It rewards the Korean players who have participated in previous international tournaments. | ||

Serena Williams may be the best female Tennis Player but she's unranked because she hasn't been playing on the WTA (or any tennis for that matter). Xeris appropriately used a system designed for international play and stuck with it. I think an alternative would have been to combine International/Korean ELOs with no inflation deduction, that's just too arbitrary. But I'm okay with the system used. Some people really just like to complain. | ||

This is a 16 player example of "traditional seeding". http://binarybeast.com/xBW1011231 Still not how most sc2 cups are seeded. But I don't think it makes too much of a difference in the end. | ||

None of the s class players are seeded except maybe mkp? And goody and nerchio get top seeds because they beat randoms in go4sc2 weeklys? That sounds smart to you? None of the foreigners in this event deserve to be seeded. Goody showed how terrible he was last nasl. And you cant say its an international tournament, lets use international elo herpderp. Because omg, the koreans dont play in international events, but they do play in the nasl. It would be like the olympics seeding basketball teams by how well the players in the spanish league played. Do you really think goody is better than polt? Or Alicia? Or Check? Or SC? Or MMA? Or Heart? Or cella? Or anyone on ogs or zenex? He's not, and it takes insane amounts of stupidity to think this seeding was done remotely well. They couldnt even get brackets right with the seeding they used | ||

If you want to be upset with someone be upset with the Koreans who have not been participating in more online/offline international tournaments. They're the only one to blame for their low international ELO. | ||
