I'm not sure if anyone has pointed it out already, but day 2 is bracket stage.

Btw I'm not sure it's exactly fair that in order to advance in WCS points in a bracket if you have a low amount of points, you have to beat someone who has all the points. Seems like it makes it very likely that the order of the ranking won't change much. On top of that it makes it likely that we see the same matches over and over again but I'm more concerned for the players than us.

TY can still earn the points Gumiho earned as the difference is that TY's group is played later.
Nerchio, on the other hand, can't gain any points from the current GSL while you will, so this is a bit of a different story.

Although I didn't know WCS kr points count for the circuit as well.

They don't. Scarlett, Major, Elazer, Time and Noregret have WCS Korea points and WCS Circuit points but they are not combined

Looks like the groups are going to stand (which makes sense since it would just cause more confusion to change them after they were announced)

Opinion but alas

Well, Dreamhack isn't required to have a format that makes sense. At least there's no coin tosses anymore.

Aren't you excited for the absolutely accidental Serral vs Neeb final?

It is sad that the two Zergs, I am cheering for, have to play each other. Go Scarlett! Go Snute!
Plus of course: Go Stephano! Go Has!

No, I don't feel like watching the same tournament every month.

I would enjoy Serral vs Neeb again.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

So players from the same group can be on the same side of the bracket (Snute/Neeb and Elazer/Cloudy Liquipedia)? What's the deal with that? Doesn't that go against the format's idea?

Edit: Haven't really been following that much WCS so that might be the norm now, but as a quick look feels weird.

Traditionally no, but in this case they use WCS points to seed players into the bracket, which kinda means the group stage is just a qualifier, and the bracket stage is a separate tournament.

As others have pointed out, using WCS points for bracket seeding means we will see the same kind of bracket often, as almost every player is in each tournament where those WCS points could be acquired, and differences could be made. However, this speaks volumes about the consistency of the top players, if they keep reaching the same results over and over again. This would also mean there is very little luck involved in pro matches which is nice, right.

It sucks seeing the same matches repeat but if they insist on using this kind of seeding, and not random pairing from he groups, then WCS points is probably the most accurate and transparent form of seeding we currently have, as Aligulac and Ladder points will not do.

It speaks to their consistency but it also doesn't. Neeb's consistency is impressive but I'd be a lot more impressed if he had done this out of killing everyone rather than TLO and Major a lot. We haven't had Neeb Scarlett in WCS proper since august 2016...
