They get seeded into the Loser's Bracket. The winner who goes to Pool play can still get to the championship bracket without having to go through the loser's bracket, which is obviously preferable.

Because it wasn't a DT expand.
It kindof was lol
Choya didn't need much of an army b/c he scouted gasless expand. If Jinro would have thrown down 3 more barracks and pulled all scv's then it would have been a successful mindgame cheese. So all Choya's build was was a greedy expand into harrass b/c he took a good guess what Jinro was doing.
The point is that Jinro could have had Turrets up in time with his build, which makes choya's choice all in and cheese (because he had no way of knowing whether Jinro will be safe or not).
It's not. Even if they do no damage, the DTs turn into archons which become the core of your army.
He had one Gateway, one Stalker and 3 DTs iirc, Archons or no Archons there's just not enough production behind it to make it safe. If DTs did no damage (and Jinro actually saw them, which you'd expect from a progamer), closing that game would be fairly trivial for Jinro.
Damn, warping in 3 DTs at once with one gateway. That takes serious skills!

Cloaked banshees are nowhere comparable to DTs. DTs have unlimited cloak, banshees do not. DTs start with cloak, banshees need them researched. DTs kill workers in one shot, banshees in two. DTs are produced by the very beginning production building, making higher number production [like 3 at once to split everywhere] far easier than starport production of banshees.
I'm not saying anything about overall game balance, but it's just absurd to put banshees on the same level.
IMO, as a Terran player, I think Banshees are better than DTs. Even though you listed reasons why you think DTs are better, it doesn't overcome the fact that DTs are melee units, and melee units will always be easier to kill than a flying ranged unit.
Banshees have more potential than DTs ever will. They can be extremely effective when micro'd well. A Banshee is really really good even without cloak.
