But you are right, Lowely has had his successes in the past, I remember him eliminating Yonghwa and MKP at WCG 2012 and he also knocked out Gumiho in some RSL, IIRC. In RSL 2 he beat Gumiho in the 3rd place match and in the next season he beat Naniwa, Oz, Bly, VortiX and MMA in consecutive Bo5s.

Well, the way the playoff bracket looks, it could be San's big chance if he can just fight through to face Life.

Scarlett advancing means no complaints of her losing due to being tired due to tournament delays! :D In all seriousness though she played extremely well

Talk into the microphone, Welmu. I can barely hear you.
Or just turn it on.

Of course not but I don't see Life having a very hard time until the finals compared to what it would have been if he was in the other one.

I think Lowely was actually (and surprisingly) quite good when WoL ended and he played it longer than anyone else in the pro scene, I think, so he ended up quite behind when others had already switched to the beta.
You can say what you want about the balance at that stage, but just objectively looking at results, I think one of the most unfair things of WCS Season 1 was the fact that Lowely didn't get a seed while others who hadn't done jackshit in a while still got a spot.

Yeah most people who were knowledgeable were quite perplexed by that.
