I think it was the two highest ranked first places against the two lowest ranked seond places. Dark and Serral are fixed for the best first places already and right now the lowest second places are soo and maru. So if Trap or Neeb get second tomorrow the bracket does not need to be drawn at all as people from the same group can not meet in the ro8. It would be: Serral vs. Soo Dark vs. Maru on opposite side of the brackets and Reynor vs Trap/Neeb Elazer/Rogue vs Classic Would be a pretty hype bracket ! | ||

Elazer barely beat Dark and did you see how Rogue destroyed Dark recently? | ||

Do you think Dark can beat Serral?

Maybe it's just my memory playing tricks on me, or some recency bias. In the whole history of Sc2? I will have a look and check. If I had to write Elazer's article, I would also underline how underrated he has been(and still is) in 2019. | ||

I do. ZvZ is still very volatile. I think any of the qualified Zergs can knock out any of the others. | ||

I think there are two rules, one being 1st seed gets a 2nd seen, the other being that you cant meet a group-stage opponent again. And the rest is "random" (And maybe a third rule, that the 2 highest ranked are starting on the opposite side, tho i think that s not actually a rule) | ||

ZvZ is as volatile as any matchup these days, the better players generally advance; upsets obviously exist but they don't really take place too often. Elazer's chances against Rogue should be more solid than Dark's against Serral; I agree than any Zerg at BlizzCon might beat the others but there are clear favorites. | ||

I will check if I can find it | ||

It has to be noted koreans prevailed the last four times, and that happened in the last two months and half, so unless Wax was referring to previous expansions, I'd say it's mostly recent bias. | ||

Basically the rules were: the first seeds from wcs circuit and korea were drawn, one on top and one at the bottom of the bracket. Then the other two first placed from the groups were drawn for the second and the third series, and then they drew the seconds from the groups to finally decide who plays against who. They did the draw live after the last group, so they will probably do the same thing tomorrow. | ||

There may have been some explanation on air. i have access to the rules (which stupidly blizz never published) and made an overview regarding the Ro8 (and onwards) bracket rules and what the result of that will be in my liquipedia userspace  btw. i liked it how you called me a wizard in the WCS Fall preview^^ | ||
