The only fair way is to draw the tournament like the UEFA does for the C1. Can you explain why it is better to have A vs. B as opposed to A vs. D? It makes no difference whatsoever, players in different groups have not played each other yet, groups are entirely independent so which groups are coupled for the brackets does not matter. | ||

To be fair, determining who plays who beforehand (as tournament organizers) does not mean it also has to be announced to the players beforehand. I agree making it known in advance can lead to players wanting to lose in order to play a 'weaker' player in the next round, which of course should not happen. | ||

That Stephano vs Brat_OK series is a very famous example of how things can go bad when the players know who is going to play who in the playoffs. Remember though that it was quite a coincidence that it went the way it did. + Show Spoiler + 1. The two strongest players in the group played their match last, meaning that both of the players would know how they are going to place in the group based on the match. 2. Sen's (the opponent both were trying to avoid) group was played before Stephano's and Brat_OK's group which ensured that both Stephano and Brat_OK knew about the results. 3. Sen, the clear favorite in the group, placed second and not first in his group, which let to the situation where a group winner would have to face him and not a group second. 4. Stephano's success was a big surprise to everyone, and he clearly was seeded too low as it happens that in the final results Stephano took the 3rd place and Brat_OK the 4th (which in turn means that neither player actually suffered from the whole incident, and the only victim might be Sen who probably would have played Brat_OK instead of Stephano). | ||
