Irrelevant whether or not herO cares in this case

Not really, herO is top dog in WCS points and can't possibly leave the top 8, herO getting any more WCS points is literally meaningless to everyone. Especially with Parting and Classic also on lock for blizzcon

But there are players here who desperately want WCS points, and who gives a fuck what herO thinks about that? W/e bow down to based god randomization it is the only way to run a tournament fairly

I don't think they should have rigged the brackets after seeing the player distribution, that's BS. The real solution would've been having more good players show up for the open bracket like they usually do.

Seeding players isn't rigging the god damn brackets LOL why can nobody in the sc2 scene grasp the concept of seeding

They did do seeding, 1st place vs 2nd place. Alternatively I guess they could've done seeding tie breakers by WCS Points so that #1 seed would be the 1st placer who has the most WCS Points and they would face the 2nd placer who has the least WCS Points. But they wouldn't have needed that if there weren't so many dropouts.

And they happened to draw A vs B C vs D. Plus with bracket rule of "if a player is in your group you can't possibly face him again til the finals" it's really a 50/50. Losira for example could only have played Classic or XY so essentially he lost $1000 on a coin flip. Not saying it's that easy to do it better (although other games seed players based on skill ALL THE TIME and it never causes as many problems as sc2's beloved randomization) I'm saying that sucks big time

Not even remotely true.

We didn't draw any groups vs any specific group.

Losira could have played ANY of the second places.

It was a random draw with two parameters.

1st vs 2nd
One player from A/B/C/D in each half or bracket.

Read the second parameter. Then explain how Losira could have played vs any 2nd place LOL

Because at the start of the draw there are no players on the grid. So he COULD have played vs any of the second places, depending on the other 1st place in his side of the grid. Obviously as the draw goes on the chances of playing certain opponents diminishes/increases depending on how it plays out.

Couldn't have plead TY first of also again not ANY 2nd place. Either way as soon as herO and Losira was drawn uThermal was eliminated as a possibility so again a coin flip for a thousand dollars. If thermal was a possibility then Losira's luck would be even worse.
