I feel the same. Still, would be interesting to see how just how far that gap really is. Soulkey will play either TLO/Stephano and RorO will play against Dimaga. Soulkey will probably roll over them since he's beast in ZvZ

I wonder as well. I would like to watch the VOD as the live stream is on at times when I'm at work. This is part of the conclusion of this first season where WCS KR was produced by GOM. I have a year-long premium+ subscription with GOM. Yet I cannot watch anything of the season finals now. I wish Blizzard actually helped out in this regard, as OGN is hard to interact with. Or is Doa around and can help with this?

Bogus gonna 3-0 his group.
Dropping even a map will be a huge upset.
He would need to 4-0 to advance. If you're talking about match score and not maps, then he'd need to go back and beat someone a second time after advancing. Either way, that isn't a likely score.
Soulkey and Innovation final once again. Unless random bracket put them against each other sooner than they should. Or MVP vs SK/Inno and MVP takes it all will be awesome as well

Okay I missed the drawing but I'm really confused here. When I happened upon the thread I saw the rules in the OP but they make no sense with the results. in particular...
3. 2 more players will be seeded into Group A. Region will be selected by Lottery, and the next rank from the region will be seeded in.
4. Repeat step 3 for groups B ~ D
Now this is where it throws me, I am assuming rank has to to where they finished in their respective regions, so if this is how it went, group A by lottery drew NA first, well the next rank in there would have been Revival who finished 2nd, not Alive who finished 3rd/4th, and then EU would have been drawn and then the next rank should have been Stephano who finished 2nd not TLO who finished 5. And this goes on with the groups. At least by how I'm interpreting the rules the first 3 people in each group should be:
Group A: Soulkey - Revival - Stephano Group B: Mvp - Ryung - Symbol Group C: HerO - ForGG - sOs Group D: INnoVation - aLive - DIMAGA
With RorO - TLO - Alicia - KangHo left to be determined by random draw
And in just doing this I see how unbalanced this is giving a huge leg up to later groups, so I have to missing a piece to the puzzle here. So where am I going wrong? Or if someone could just point me to the VOD of the drawing (English casting please) so I can see what happened myself, cause I have to be misinterpreting the rules somehow.

They only seeded in the three WCS winners and the 2nd place of host country Korea (Innovation). Everyone else was drawn from pods so that each group had one player from KR, AM, and EU. So for soulkey's group they drew from the AM pod and the EU pod. For the last four players, they were put in one container and drawn randomly for each remaining group spot.
