Rigging PvP to eliminate the best players with a chance of beating Serral. The organizers of this event obviously want Serral to win it and he probably would have still won it with a fair bracket but they aren't taking any chances.

Well shit, TIME vs Serral and 2 PvPs, what a bad bracket.

Serral winning the whole thing is pretty much a given I think.

We'll see, he's still got a lot of good players ahead of him.

Dear has been looking on form but (or maybe because of that?) the bracket gives him Zest. Shame.

Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

The Ro16 looked pretty rigged but this is even better honestly.

Not looking good for foreignland so far.

Woot? Serral is looking strong, TIME is looking strong, Heromarine has decent chances to advance.


There is a general consensus that Serral is a Korean wearing a foreigner mask. Time is well I guess a foreigner. Heromarine didn't advance yet but I think he will

Time is "I guess" a foreigner?

He isnt' white, is what he meant.

I know :/


Or I could have meant he is not EU or AMER you latent racists

Is Probe a foreigner? What about Drager?


Really have no intention to participate in this discussion. My family and me live in a country where someone who is not white has it quite difficult. And its both the racists as well as the ones who see racism everywhere that are equally bad, just opposite side extremes who would do better to mind their own business...

If you have no intention to participate than why reply at all? No one is saying you're a die hard racist but I advice you to answer Ej's question to yourself at least.
I Protoss winner, could it be?

That's much better than I expected. Though in reality, I think a 0-3 is reasonably likely.

I am torn now. I really want to see Serral vs herO, but Stats has a much better chance of beating him, hm...

Honestly I'm not sure either. This happens every single time there are 2 foreigners in the top 8 of an event though and it's getting ridiculous. It can only be random draw so many times. They pretty much said when they announced the event that it only exists because of Serral so they definitely want him to win. It wouldn't surprise me if they "randomized" it an extra time when they saw that the first bracket had Serral on track to play hero/Stats/Dear back to back to back. As it is there's a good chance he only has to beat one of those 3 to win the tournament and they are his biggest threats. His next biggest threat would be gumiho who is also on the opposite side. Just some crazy coincidences here.

You know it's bad for the tournament to have 2 PvPs and the only foreigner besides Serrral 100% eliminated.

If someone was gonna rig it, Serral would knock out a Korean, Time would get an easier opponent and less PvPs.

Also Serral was always gonna play gumiho, Time or herO and not anther first place finisher like Dear or Stats.

Stats in the semis is the hardest it could've gotten for Serral.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Everyfuckingone is very interested how this was rigged for Serral. He himself the first one.

Apologies... "He himself The First One"...

I'm simply blind. He played his games, they were not "rigged".
