It would be great to see a swede in the final.
I think Sase has a big chance to be in the final. Nani is not gonna get past 2 zergs.
First part of the bracket is really hard to tell, it could go any way. Most likely gonna be Taeja/Hero/Stephano, but Stephano is like 80% out if he meets nerchio in ZvZ.

What do you want Dreamhack to do, intervene and set up the bracket based upon what they think will be better, and ignore the group stage? If they didn't want to be on the "stacked" side of the bracket, they should have won their group. Well if they had filled in the bracket in a different order it could be way more balanced whilst keeping the winner vs 2nd place set up. As it stands I'm going to call a HerO-Sase final. Yeah, let's let the brackets of sports events be filled by the president of the event, no potential for conspiracy here.
Randomness is random. Results are weird sometimes, but it's hardly ever unfair.

Tbh the odds of 3 players out of 16 being placed at the same half of the bracket aren't that small that some of you seem to think it is.

Why are people so upset about groups theres only 1 winner, and Ret could still make it to finals with winner of taeja/hero. May the best player win IMO.

Don't know what you are smoking with those two. Nerchio ZvZ is insane, Stephano ZvZ is pretty poor. Stephano PvZ is godly, and if he can beat Hero he can beat Sase.

Common sense.

tough bracket for stephano. keen first, then zvz specialist nerchio, then most likely either taeja or hero

You go 8-1 in your matches, only losing to Stephano, and you get eliminated. Dumb. Close group, that's how it works, unfortunately. MLG's heads up system is a lot worse, imho. Yep, losing to Stephano -> out of tournament is much better than MLG's system. Obviously we can't do a bo100, but this is silly. Funny that no one complains about single elimination tournies Bo3. One tough draw, one lost series, you are out. Groupstage is more fair, but these tiebreakers happen. Where are the single elimination tournies bo3? You should be more specific brah. Harstem loses to Qxc, Bly, and Mana and gets to ro16. Huk loses to Stephano and is out. I'd like to think that isn't fair.
Dreamhack will be Bo3 single elimination from now on (besides finals). TSL was Bo3 to start with, NASL in first season, GSL in open season. Tons of smaller events (Red Bull), Copenhagen have Bo3 stages.
I know cases like Harstem happen. Of course its not fair, that Huk is out and Harstem in. But a total fair system would be if everyone plays everyone, thats just not possible. Groupstage is still more fair than single elimination (where Huk could meet Stephano any time). Tie Breakers still happen.

I highly doubt it, but whatever. What do you doubt? Do you think they intentionally arranged a shitty bracket and claimed that it was random? Why the hell would they do that. This bracket is so bad that I wouldn't have been surprised if they secretly rerolled it before making it public.
Nani and stephano are likely to go out quickly, and they are likely the fan favorites. Why would DH do such a thing on purpose?

That has to hurt, and is a very unfortunate thing about this system  It's a great system. It always sucks to lose. It's not a great system it takes a lot of strategy out of each series. In a GSL group, due to winner's and loser's matches, you can play way more mind games. Do you go for two standard games or do you cheese? If you're up 1-0 in your BO3 you can do a risky build to try to close it out easily. In the dreamhack system you HAVE to try to 2-0 every match, 2-1 is (as we see right here) not an option. So people will do the build they feel most comfortable with. Remember Nestea's spine crawler rush that worked in GSL a few months ago? Or the failed one he tried earlier this week? Neither of those would EVER happen in this tournament because it's just not worth the risk of being eliminated. You're making zero sense Could you explain to me what you don't understand? In this system, you can't afford to metagame your opponent. Your strategy will be the same regardless of your position in the series. In GSL, and (I believe, though could be wrong, MLG where it's heads up, then map score) this is not the case. Therefore there is less strategy in the dreamhack system, therefore it is inferior. Why do you disagree? More metagaming = more gambling, less comparison of actual skill.

OMG both Ukrainians on one side of the bracket, what a joke.
Seriously, it's random, calm down.

I'd say Stephano can't go to finals at all unless a miracle happens.

I highly doubt it, but whatever. because that way players will know who'll they play from the other group, which is stupid and makes for retarded situations like Stephano vs. Bratok Assembly 2011 I believe.

these brackets are so good in my opinion. only taeja vs hero is shit. that's such a fucking shame.

If they actually draw the bracket randomly, I wish they'd not do it behind closed doors. This bracket smells fishy, too many "coincidences" for my taste. Liquid Koreans kill each other? Stephano versus the third Korean? Ret vs SaSe? Really looks like they "made" certain matchups "happen" to help a certain Swede on the way.
