Especially unfair given people who bombed out of pools place higher than people who rocked the open bracket but just came up a little short Please explain. Sad for Bomber.  | ||

Getting put into pools and getting dead last is better than defeating 5+ difficult opponents in the open bracket then losing twice to good players | ||

It stinks but that's how tournaments are. they had an american qualifier, a European qualifier, 3 invite only qualifiers that were almost exclusively NA (with a few Aussies), and one Korean qualifier that awarded a single spot. | ||

Players like TLO, Petraeus, etc who got the unbelievable advantage of starting in pools got the same place as Bomber. A player of Bomber's caliber starting from that position may have done muchhh better. Pools are an insane advantage, and the way the spots are handed out is questionable | ||
