Because he has better map score than parting and parting just took 7th so even DRG is 6th, he still makes the bracket stage.
they have the same score...
Tie-breakers are decided by looking at: - match-score between the tied players. - map-score in the matches between the tied players. - overall map-score. (source: Official rules on MLG website)
Between DRG, Heart and Parting, the first criterium was insufficient as they had a cycle: Heart > Parting > DRG > Heart. The second criterium was the decider, DRG-Heart and Parting-DRG ended 2-1, while Heart-Parting ended 3-0. Among the tied players, Parting is 2-4 in mapscore, DRG is 3-3 and Heart is 4-2. The final order of the 3 tied players then becomes: Heart > DRG > Parting, with Parting being eliminated at 7th place overall.
Heart isn't in the tie-breaker, he has a better map score than both of them.
Round Robin map score isn't the first tie-breaker. People just got confused because of liquipedia showing the map score so prominently.
Round Robin Ranking (1st-8th) will be determined using each Player’s Record of Matches won and lost. Ties will be broken using the following Tiebreakers in this order: Head to Head Match Winning Percentage (Matches Won vs. Tied Players / Matches Played vs. Tied Players), Head to Head Games Winning Percentage (Games Won vs. Tied Players / Games Played vs. Tied Players), and Round Robin Games Winning Percentage (Round Robin Games Won / Round Robin Games Played). If there is a tie involving more than two Players and one of the Tiebreakers resolves the tie for a Player(s), but leaves at least two Players tied, resolution of the tie that still exists will start over with Head to Head Match Winning Percentage. The higher number will win all Tiebreakers.
Okay, probably the most confusing thing I've ever read, but I understand now. Glad DRG got through.

lol @ DRG immediately checking results and seeing himself in top 6 xD
One foreigner not in the best shape & One korean who all-in like crazy versus terran because of is incomming PvT matches in GSL.
I only said that because all Terran and Zerg seems to do these days is QQ about Protoss. Parting shouldn't have even gone to MLG in reality, he and Startale only care about GSL in the first place so I don't know why he showed up.
I think that's a bit of a ridiculous statement to make to "only care about GSL." You don't think Parting would like to win MLG and prefer winning MLG to losing? Look at what he posted on his twitter this morning....

And you don't think it's nice for Parting to see more of the world and get opportunities to compete in front of fans? He's having fun in NY from his twitter...
By only I obviously meant they care about GSL far more than any other tournament, Startale has said it themselves in the past. They didn't even compete in the lastest MLG online qualifier due to GSL training. Sure Parting would like to win but he still isn't going to be giving this event even 75% of his best.
Obviously they will care about GSL more, who wouldn't. Except, he definitely was trying hard during this Arena to secure that top 4 seed, especially the later matches he played. They weren't even PvT so he couldn't "hide his builds"

players would definitely try their best to win, especially when hes in that situation. It's not like he has some special strat that he doesn't want to show. We'll see if he has any special strat in the up coming GSL.

It's not really that confusing. It's just different compared to what other tournaments do, so a lot of people jumped the gun and called the tie-breakers wrong because they didn't check how MLG handles tie-breakers in this case.
It was funny though to see the LP result-table bounce back and forth between different outcomes. Current order is still not entirely correct as it lists DRG above Heart, but that's inconsequential as both move on to the Ro6.
