It was rather "unlucky" to get only one KR vs KR match out of a half random draw in the first place.

You have forgotten Nerchio.

I think Nerchio advancing is a decent bet. Dark doesn't have a top-tier ZvZ result in the last 3 months.

Well, I mean more specifically for Major/Kela. But yeah, I'm not sure if I like the direct bracket format when doing these foreign/KR tournies. I believe the double elim. group format is much better for first round.

Still enjoyable to watch, but if Major ends up the only one, then we're all just going to sigh ):

And Nerchio does?
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

I am actually not sure that Nerchio does (have a top tier ZvZ in the last 3 months). Didn't he recently lose to all of Elazer, Snute, Scarlett and Serral?

It's hard to give an estimation of course but with four matches where the korean has the advantage to the tune of I guess 60-70% it's not that unlikely that a foreigner would win one, given that it's Bo5 I don't think we have 50% chance but we're probably something like 40% to get one through.

Scarlett, the foreign hope, will dismantle TY.

If you think the bo5 is "only" in favor of like 60-70% for the koreans then getting in at least one foreigner should be pretty high tbh

Yeah I meant for a single map, if it's 35% at Bo5 you have 4 shots at 35% and you'd be unlucky to not win one. You need 25% at Bo5 level to be likely to win 1 out of 4 (obviously). Tbh I think some of the match-ups are above that, around 30% at Bo5 level and some below at around 20%, should probably round up at around 25 and expect a cointoss.

I am actually not sure that Nerchio does (have a top tier ZvZ in the last 3 months). Didn't he recently lose to all of Elazer, Snute, Scarlett and Serral?

Last 3 months of results vs. top non-Korean Zerg:
1-3 Elazer
4-1 Snute
0-3 Serral
2-1 Snute
0-2 Snute
0-2 Serral
2-1 TRUE
3-1 Elazer
2-1 Elazer
1-2 Elazer
0-2 Elazer

That's a mixed bag, but is probably comparably better than Dark though Dark was playing Koreans and Nerchio was not.

ByuN vs Serral was excellent, all five matches (well maybe not the fifth).
Others were all very onesided.

iA and Serral played so good... but iA really impressed me a lot, his series vs TY at IEM was really good too ... this kid could become a real monster if he keeps playing.
i would define my style between a mix of ByuN, Maru and MKP

Nevermind... carry on.

I think if they make a global like koreans vs world the have to make it fair for all. Now it is a 100% lose for the most player Scarlett, ShoWTimE, iAsonu, Kelazhur, Nerchio. You like watching games who you know 100% who wins? Then you can watch bonze vs diamond is the same. you dont need a tournament who all know the first round is time waste. All palyer will be destroyed in this round.

It was fair for all. Invited players were seeded and their opponents (the voted-in players) were randomly drawn against them.

y but the randomly drawn is bad for 80% of foreigner.
Example
Worst matchup / best matchup
Scarlett z vs t / z vs z
ShoWTimE p vs z / p vs t
Nerchio z vs z / z vs t
Serral z vs t / z vs z

Look at the stats. Scarlett vs ty is instand lose because scarletts worst matchup and ty is best matchup. ty have 64% winrate. Is like let the best fight vs the worst. on this lvl is bronze vs GM. ShoWTimE stays for the same problem. Serral doing realy well but is his worst matchup to. Nerchio is even with dark. Kelazhur i think never won a single best of vs SpeCial in brazil (american cups).
You can handle some of this games if you switching some players serral vs sos. showtime vs byun. Scarlett vs dark.
Nerchio vs Stats. i dont understand anyway why Stats play vs herO?
