Enough with the conspiracy theories, guys. When you have 2 Koreans finishing first in their groups and 2 of them finishing second, it's only 2/4 then 1/3 = 16.6666% have them face each other in the quarterfinals. That's not that unlikely to have happen randomly.

It was a random drawing from a hat. According to WaxAngel the koreans ended up picking themselves.

How were their reactions? :D I know they love to avoid each other until the finals.

Ok.

So...

Korean vs Korean
Korean vs Korean

on one side of the bracket

Foreigner vs Foreigner
Foreigner vs Foreigner

on the other side...

We will explain it all on stream in like 2 minutes.

<3 doods.


Well if you can't beat them. . . .make them take each other out.

Lol well this was either planned behind closed doors, or the draw was just 1/6 unlucky. 2 group winners, 2 group runner-ups... probability says 1/6 chance for getting both korean winners to battle both korean runner-ups, if I didn't fail my math.

But I think I speak on behalf of a lot of people when I say I'm disappointed with the draw. I don't want to see Koreans vs Koreans and Foreigners vs Foreigners, I want to see Koreans vs Foreigners throughout, because THAT's what's fun and THAT is what these global leagues should be all about. If I wanted to see Koreans vs Koreans I'd watch GSL. There will only be ONE Korean VS Foreigner in this entire playoff.

How unfortunate. If this was planned, how lame.

SangHo > FruitDealer
TOP > DRG
Gatored > TT1
KiLLeR > Elfi

TOP > SangHo
KiLLeR > Gatored

TOP > KiLLeR

And it was all randomized so stop whining.
It's hard to seed players properly with so many tournaments and rank all the tournaments its kinda difficult :o
In the beginning there was nothing... and then exploded

No offense, but elfi couldnt beat idra. What makes you think he could beat DRG?


Because DRG looked awful against protoss yesterday. I'm very happy for Gatored, and he had some awesome builds, but DRG did not look impressive at all.

I think it turned out pretty funny, but shame on you if you're bubbling up conspiracy theories. Sometimes randomness does occur.

Apparently MVP gets hate in the Korean scene for his game against Creator. In general most Koreans seem to be very mannered.

My predictions atm would probably be:

SangHo > FruitDealer
TOP < DRG
Gatored > TT1
KiLLeR < Elfi

DRG > SangHo
Elfi > Gatored

DRG > Elfi

Is it just me or is that razer commercial basically saying that their "gaming grade wireless technology" has a lower refreshrate than 1ms? (Gaming grade wireless technology > 1ms)

Also, i have a razer mamba myself and it is fucking awesome.

">" means "greater than", so it's "greater than 1 ms", so the mouse could very well have a higher delay than smoke signals.

Bit weird to have a first and second place in the group and then just make them all draw names out of the bowl...

Someone who wins their group should always play someone who finished second in another...

first place finishers picked from the bowl full of 2nd place finishers, nothing wrong with that

Wow, that bracket really sucks. Koreans knocking each other out in the first round and then on the second round. It's truly Koreans vs. foreigners. TT1 vs. Gatored too to determine who'll represent NA.
Even during difficult times, when I sat down to play the game, there were times where it felt like god has descended down and played [for me].
