If I had the choice though I'd swap around a few players in the Korean groups because for example Cure vs Zest is just such a common online face-off at this point and TY and Special played each other in a qualifying match yesterday. Scheduling was a bit of a challenge due to the upcoming lunar new year and EU ESL on Sunday. Wardi had to do a lot of work to fulfill my desire that every initial group had one player from each race. After that, the opening match-ups are mostly 1v4 and 2v3 based upon aligulac rankings to follow a consistent system. The only deviation from that was necessary due to another scheduling conflict. Considering the complications of organizing 24 players from all around the world over the course of a week, I think Wardi has done a tremendous job of putting together not just a great field overall, but groups that will be very difficult to predict from day one! | ||

Yeah, if the seeding difference is the difference between prize money boundaries, BO1 tiebreaker. If the seeding difference is are you Seed #1 or Seed #2 into the RO8 (or in RO12) from your region, its just a coinflip | ||

Maybe TY turtled too much and didn't do nearly enough counter attacking. Either way I'd be pissed as hell for losing that. | ||
