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".

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

I like how none of the commentary mentioned Special. That dude is going to murder Stats.

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

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.

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.

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

It would be great though

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