Sorry if this sounds stupid, but how does the RO16 work?

If I understand correctly, MMA, MC, Feast and Puma are in the Quarterfinals.
That leaves 8 players for the RO16...

I'm so confused.

8 players in Ro16 => 4 advance into quarterfinals
with the groupwinners we then have 8 players in quarterfinals

You understand it correctly. Here "RO16" does not mean it has 16 players participating, but that the winners of this round advance to the RO8.

But why does the RO16 have 8 players, shouldn't it have 16?

(I'm probably missing something very obvious here.)

Ro16 has 12 players and 4 empty spots. = 16 "players"

(1)The 4 group winners will be matched against the empty spots.
(2)The 4 second places and the 4 third places will be facing each other.

Ro8 will consist of the 4 group winners who got a walk-over in the R016.
And the 4 winners between the second and third places.

Koreans entering the tournament: 41,6%
Koreans after group phase: 66,6%

But I think foreigners performed not that bad so far.

MC and Supernova only 3:2 + instead of Violet/Jyp Socke could have easily andvanced, too.
