Special had 50% chance to draw Elazer, a chance he got by defeating 2 top Koreans. Blizzard region locked tournaments then swapped to a format that makes it easier for upsets to happen.

Korean vs Foreigner does have the highest viewer appeal, though.
Brackets are still shit though.

Yes. It guarantees one in the ro4 which means they just need one upset to make it to the finals.

Special had 50% chance to draw Elazer, a chance he got by defeating 2 top Koreans. was 1/3, people are still stupid for reacting this way It's 1/2 he could only get a 2nd place who was also on the other side of the bracket. what do you mean with other side of the bracket? why shouldn't Special be able to play vs Rogue? i don't think so, Rogue and soO can't be on the same side of the bracket because they were in the same group
yes, but drawing soo was also random. major and hero couldve been on the same side

mmh I'm not 100% serious with the rigging accusations, I'm just incredibly salty that the bracket is this shitty.

So much whine about the brackets i can't believe. Brackets are fine. Blame Ty and Stats for losing to Special, blame Stats for losing to TY, and blame Dark for losing against Elazer. It's their fault they got only second places or eliminated...

I'm really not confident in soO's ability to beat Gumiho, at least we should get some sick mech games regardless

Obviously not cheated, but still brackets suck.

Good night everyone, such a bad draw really
don't worry, clem is gonna avenge us all one day

in other news the stream switched to the Heroes of the Storm tournament and i can't believe people actually watch this game, so boring

I want either Rogue or soO to win from here. However, I feel like if soO gets second again it'll break his spirit completely so if it is those two in the finals I'd rather soO wins

It's delusional to think Blizzard rigged the bracket, regardless of whether they "benefit" from how the draw ended up.
The fact is, with the no rematch rule until the finals, these brackets are pretty predictable. Once all the players made it out of their groups, it was basically impossible to get the dream bracket people wanted. A lot of the bracket luck started with the drawing of the original groups.

soO isn't one of my favorite players but i would be really sad to see him retire after blizzcon which seems like something he has been considering

I doubt soO's spirit can be broken at this point. He carries all his second places with him, so what's one more.
That being said I do hope he wins, though this bracket looks frighteningly like yet another second place.
