It was drawn with 1st place vs 2nd place, and players in the same group on opposite of bracket.

So 1 of the 2-3 possible opponents were drawn randomly for each player coming out in first?


Yeah first draw all players finishing first, then draw the 1 out of 2 possible opponents. Like usual.

And it gets tiresome how whiny people are about bracket draws. Blizzard would have to rig brackets to make people here happy.

it happens 1 time - maybe luck.
But that 2 years in a row the bracket guarantees 1 foreigner in the ro4 makes me slightly suspicious.

You should take a course on probabilities. And last year there was a 2/3 chance of a guaranteed foreigner in the Ro4.

I'd like to see the back of those papers. I'd bet money that they had both names so the guy opening the egg could choose.

Litterally everyone on the top half of the bracket would get rekt by anyone on the lower half

edit: maybe not MajOr vs TY actually
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

I'll take your money. If you look at the VODs you can see the back of the papers when he's unfolding them.

And if I was rigging a bracket I would never use something so amateurish as that.

They don't know that the "rigged" sh*t is a meme, kinda sad.

Not THIS at all. Do you understand how likely it is to actually draw 2 foreigners to play against each other when one of them comes 1st and one of them comes 2nd, and they're in different groups (obviously).

Very very high.

Blizzard should ditch group stages and go back to a straight 16 player single elimination tournament.
