Yeah I mean, that's what everyone wanted anyways. So it's fine.

you don't suddenly shift your rules for no logical reason other than people wanting it

why not, lol.

ever heard of something called competitive integrity? In every other sport rigging the bracket to make 2 favourites face later in the tournament would be a HUGE controversy.
it's not much better than what Life did tbh.

In any other sport or even esport it would probably be called "seeding".

You usually announce seeding before the tournament begins

You do, but this crying is still ridiculous. Like my good friends from CSGO forums often used to say, "Cry is free".

Great bracket for Serral. His only real dangers are Maru and Stats.


Don't underestimate Rogue and Dark... I believe they are bigger threats than Stats.

Yeah, if he beats Maru he should be favored in the semis against either player.

And you usually don't have seeding along with a random bracket.

To be fair, tournament organisers can change whatever rules they want if it will make a better show

the WCS rules were announced at the start of the season though. technically they have the right to change it when they want but the lack of transparency doing this is concerning

In this case it works though. A good system is one where the #1 and #2 players are on opposite sides.

Although I agree the announcement of this after groups is a joke. But then again they changed gsl vs the world format to force a maru vs serral match so why not
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

I suggest you look at every playoff bracket a traditional sport ever does and then try to tell me most sports don't purposely try to line things up so the favorites play each other in the end rather than at the beginning.
What do you mean Immortals can't shoot up?

If sOs win I propose we present a motion to strip Scarlett of her Olympic gold and give it to him so we can have a 5 time world champion.

Yeah, but then Blizzard says that actually Blizzcon is a double elimination format.

They didn't. The casters were just clueless about the rules for picks--what they explained originally didn't even make sense.

There you go, this bracket's aiming for Maru - Serral finals but I'm expecting Stats to ruin that.
