Should be a good bracket for Mvp, but I can see him maybe losing to the abusive play of SortOf, hopefully Slivko takes him out.

I thought IEM were on top of the group->bracket stage with the randomizing of brackets. But, IEM, you fucked up!

Vortix and Supernova should optimally be on opposite sides of the brackets. As should every other 1, 2 & 3 from the respective groups. That isn't possible with this system, but you can do better than this. It's a big mistake, and it flies in the face of the purpose of the group->bracket-stage in the first place. To provide seeding in order to find the best player out of all of them. You won't do that if you match them up with the same players they met in the group-stage earlier than they have to.

One way of fixing it is the following:

Switch Vortix & ForGG with elfi & Violet.

That way, players who met in the group stage won't meet each other before the semi-finals. It's as good as it gets with this system.

He lost but took one map, SuperNova 5-0'd the group dropping only that single map the whole way.

Thought the same. Vortix should not be playing Supernova or MC until Semifinals at least, same for the elfi violet situation

Actually, looking at it again. The best solution would be to swap:

Vortix & ForGG with Slivko & SortOf

and

Elfi & Violet with MC & Kas

That way you avoid the situation while keeping position 1 and 3 from each group in the same bracket half.

I don't think Mvp will lose a bo5 to any of the patchzergs. Supernova could be a threat, but Mvp is still the favorite.

Foreigners actually seem to be doing pretty well in the brackets! Taking out real, puma, and inori is a pretty good job.

Edit: And Nestea. A split-even Ro12!

Predictions:

Violet > Elfi
Kas < MC
Vortix > ForGG
Slivko > Sortof ?

Bomber > Violet
Nerchio > MC
Supernova > Vortix
MVP > Slivko

Nerchio > Bomber (Because Bomber has to choke somewhere)
MVP > Supernova

Nerchio = MVP in a series that goes to 3-3 (or 2-2 bo5?) and never ends because of constant draws.

Or MVP > Nerchio

You are right, the bracket is not correct with the RO8 clashes with players from the same groups. I assume Carmac has the balls to change it, if he gets to know about it.
