The average viewer understands that you don't *need* the keyboard to win. The advertisement tries to stress that this keyboard in particular is a lot better for improving as a gamer, which may or may not be true.

Ohhh, for some reason I thought they would be 16th. <,< There's a system somewhere on the WCS site, I'll look for it.

I guess? Idk I think anyone entering the scene as a player that might actually be good enough to go pro probably knows that what brand of mechanical keyboard you use doesn't mean shit.

Now that Geoff is doing the mini-ponytail with facial hair, he just needs to practice spitting out water and tearing off his shirt and he'll be StarCraft 2's Triple H.
I remember on the drunk State of the Game back in 2011 or 2012 he said that if he won a tournament he would rip his shirt in half on stage. Of course he also added something to the effect of, "I most likely won't win a tournament" or something so please don't reply to this with that joke.

if jjakji and hero tie points the tie would go over to jjakji because of him having 200 more points from within just wcs.This is another reason why jd needed a deep run here because he had almost no points from wcs.

I don't know, these are lol players and lol has a HUGE youth audience, I think there are many young people that will eat that shit right up and demand a razer keyboard for 90+ dollars or otherwise they will throw a fit.

Exactly, but I don't think the target audience for this is players going pro, but kids wanting presents for their christmas list.

Ties within the Top 16 seeded players
Ties within the top 16 WCS players will be decided by cumulative points earned only in World Championship Series America, Europe, Korea, and Season Finals events. If a tie remains, it will be settled through points earned only in WCS Tier 1 events. If the players in question are still tied, seeding will be decided by coin-toss.
So whoever has more WCS points (jjakji I think?) would qualify.

If they're gonna throw a fit over it then their parents either have enough money that it doesn't matter or they will learn a pretty important lesson.

honestly I feel like player skill is pretty evenly distributed across the seedings to the point where seeding doesn't really matter that much lol

I think thats a completely different problem tbh. Young kids being taken advantage of isn't the problem or fault of pro players any more then other factors

Yeah good point. I remember my first time I fell into advertising as a kid. But that was like 5 bucks wasted, not 90.
Anyway, I don't wanna digress too much. Was just very surprised at the scale of what these guys were saying!
