This is just for seeding, nobody is booted out.

Does that mean that even if Vibe loses to MMA, he will still be able in the wildcard bracket...?

Yeah, just a tie break for placement.

Are the winners of the wildcard matches ordered again based on their wildcard seed before going in to the finals?

Like, say Naniwa beats Oz. Would he go to face Polt, as the #16 seed, or would he go to play Arthur, like that graphic seems to suggest. If the latter, it seems unfair to me that Polt would face anyone other than the lowest seeded wildcard player to advance.

Edit: The way Gretorp is talking makes it seem like the matches are set based on the graphic. This disappoints me a lot and makes no sense.

That's how brackets always work. If the number 1 seed gives a walkover in the first round then the next opponent gets a really lucky matchup. It's like that in every sport that I've seen, except for rare exceptions where they reorganize by seed. That doesn't happen very often though.

The winners of the wildcards are re-ranked based off of their seed in the wildcards and then inserted into the playoffs based on that ranking(ranked 1-8). Polt faces whoever is the lowest ranked wildcard seed coming out of the wildcards no matter what, does that help?

Naniwa has a good shot here, when was the last time Oz won a PvP?

Ehh, I prefer a NaNiwa vs Polt series anyways, come on NaNi!
