EPTI'm not a Scarlett fan and am not happy that she's inevitably going to make it to GSL vs. The World over WCS Circuit players with greater results in WCS tournaments, but man did she get boned.

If so you'd expect #1 (Serral) and #4 (Showtime) on one side of the bracket and #2 (Special) and #3 (Neeb) on the other. Neeb and Showtime were even in the same round 3 group. As far as I understood it: Players who finished 1st in their round 3 group are seeded 1-8 based on WCS Circuit points. Players who finished 2nd in their round 3 group are seeded 9-16 based on WCS Circuit points. They are then matched up: 1v16 8v9 4v13 5v12 2v15 7v10 3v14 6v11 That should have given us: (1) Serral vs (16) Harstem (8) Reynor vs (9) SpeCial (4) Heromarine vs (13) Scarlett (5) uThermal vs (12) Kelazhur (2) Neeb vs (15) DnS (7) Clem vs (10) Showtime (3) Nerchio vs (14) Bly (6) Has vs (11) Snute We got: (1) Serral vs (13) Scarlett (8) Reynor vs (9) SpeCial (4) Heromarine vs (15) DnS (5) uThermal vs (11) Snute (2) Neeb vs (14) Bly (7) Clem vs (10) Showtime (3) Nerchio vs (16) Harstem (6) Has vs (12) Kelazhur | ||

It makes sense to either fully seed or go full random (possibly with no non-finals group stage rematches), not half seed and half random. I suppose you could also let the seeded players select their first round opponent. It also doesn't make sense to use a format different than what it is used to determine playoff seeding for the WCS Global Finals. | ||

Maybe to avoid 1st and 2nd place finishers from the same group facing each other in the RO16 (tho that wouldn't have happened this time, but you never know I guess?) | ||
