Blizzard region locked tournaments then swapped to a format that makes it easier for upsets to happen. If you don't think that there is a chance that they'd rig the brackets to increase the chance of a Korean/Non-Korean finals, you're delusional. They obviously think that Koreans vs. Non-Koreans have the highest viewer appeal.

Korean vs Foreigner does have the highest viewer appeal, though.

Brackets are still shit though.

which made them pair the foreigners?

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

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

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...
Why so serious?

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.
Ganzi beat me without stim. Ostojiy beat me with a nydus. Siphonn beat me with probes. Revival beat my sentry-immortal all-in.

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.
