how were the teams seeded? why didn't you use last tournament's results? how come some teams are seeded into 2nd round already? It was based off of TAC 2's results as well as the results of other team leagues and some subjective opinion on relative strengths of teams. Some teams are in the 2nd round because we went from a 16 team to a 24 team bracket. We are actually finalizing plans to make seeding and other information more transparent for future events, both for spectators and for the teams themselves. We hope to announce these plans very soon! please do explain why oGs and TL are in the first round when they did very well in tournament 2 while Mouz and MVP advanced despite being knocked out much earlier...must be some very subjective opinion...
it was more complexity being knocked out, not mvp haha

Did they actually decide to go away from a nerd reference there?

This might be one of the weirdest series I've ever seen (ESC vs. Dignitas) and possibly one of the worst played.
|
Why temporary bracket? Just always use Challonge, so much easier.
|
And bling just made up for the weird play with some awesome forcefields

Challonge doesn't quite make the right bracket for a 24-team double-elim tournament. Its default has WR2 losers playing WR1 losers immediately, but shouldn't. We're just in the process of creating our own.

Love it, but why is Liquid not seeded in the second round as they placed 6th last season?
Edit: Reserving judgement as I see it is a temporary bracket.
Edit2: I guess it takes into account both of the first two seasons of IPLTAC. Not sure how I feel about that, but a Liquid vs Mouze match in the second round would be fantastic so I really can't complain.

Eh, you really shoudln't just make the seedings like how you feel they are right. Top 8 from last tournament should get the 8 spots in 2nd round, everything else is pretty unfair.
|
Why do some teams start in the second round?
|
The 720p+ quality is currently ignoring subscribers it seems :/
edit: Nvm i had to relogg.. like everytime there is a live event, pretty annoying :/
|
Well Kevin announced that this is the last TAC as they are moving to a League format for what would have been TAC4, so those placement issues shouldn't be a problem next time.
|
The byes seem odd and poorly defined. Any perceived subjectivity and bias will only discredit the results.
Like others suggested, the only proper and reasonable way to setup the bracket is give byes to the IPL TAC2 top 8. Otherwise, without careful explanation of why each team gets their place, IPL is going to have a mess on its hands.

agreed 100%. def do not like the seeds. will give more odds of Korean dominance just like seeding all Koreans and formerly good foreigners at ipl4. mouz has no thorzain now. big sad face ipl

What should it look like then?
Can't make the WR1 teams play each other as you'll end up with 4 teams advancing, but 8 teams dropping from WR2.
And making WR2 losers play each other, and then the winners playing WR1 match would make it just as unfair as the current format.

I'm another person not totally happy with the seeds here. 1st-4th should be the teams that got those positions in TAC2. 5th/6th should be the two teams who got that position in TAC2, randomised. 7th/8th as with 5th/6th. Then the remaining invited teams are randomized and paired up with the eight qualifying teams.

I think that seeds here are a little bit weird :S
the upper bracket is way too stronger then the lower part ;(
|
Feels like Hoseo and prime should be in different ends of the bracket due to first and second last season, eighter way im excited for it to finally start, the qualifiers took ages :>.
