Yes but there are possible ties and only 4 teams per group. The most teams/players there are, the most the regularity should be rewarded and not a random match among five. | ||

There has been some analysis a year or so ago which showed that Terrans had a way lower chance to lose vs weaker players in all 3 matchups than P and Z had, with PvP being the most volatile matchup. | ||

The word "random" was not the correct one. What I wanted to say is that every single match should count the same way, except if there is an exact tie. For me, it's the principle of a pool which is different from a bracket. But, well, it's over now. But all the major tournaments with pools use mapscore over H2H. It's weird to see that now. | ||

I have a feeling that those compositions wouldn't work against a good Korean terran. | ||
