With soO dropping out because he does not care about seeding, doesn't that mean, a player that does and does well and expects an Opponent that just barely qualified has to play soO? Aren't there any pros that care at all about seeding? Cause if they exists, what soO did, would be terrible, no? "expects an Opponent that just barely qualified" I mean only a single player per qualifier gets to Ro16 straight away. So no nobody who will qualifiy for this event will expect a easier opponent. Reynor will prob end up first and qualify for the ro16 straight away while uthermal and heromarine will get a ro24 spot even when they qualified first when all the top dogs were in it. Bit of a flaw in the system, but you will meet a top player either way | ||

I mean, Bo3 with advantage would be kind of ridiculous, and in a Bo5 with advantage you need to win two anyways, so I'd say that's alright. | ||

Therefor everyone that plays the qualifier to the end after they are qualified, just does it to entertain us. I just realized that if one player doesn't respect seeding, then it becomes meaningless for all players. | ||

What a nice format Yeah, they probably didn t think that thru.. Also the times are still not realy EU friendly  And I just noticed that the 2nd EU and NA qualifiers are scheduled for the same day, we might see another round of bys, skewing the competition in the 2nd NA qualifier there :/ | ||

What a nice format Imagine if uThermal played Clem in a deciding match with uThermal already qualified. We'd get people complaining about competitive integrity immediately, and rightfully so. We've owned up to mistakes along the way already and will do so again if we must, but in this case there are very good arguments for what we've decided on. At least that's how I see it. | ||

(currently 1-0 up against Creator and viewable on HorussTV, don't know if anywhere else, last I checked the other streams showed different matches) DRG vs Silky next, it's strange, but one of these two will quailify from what I understand. | ||

Yeah thanks to the Super Tournament not giving out Points, Hurricane had a higher seed than Trap and thus the upper breaket is a lot weaker than the bottom one.. That and the Upsetgalore there gave us Parting - Trap as qualifying match on the one hand and Silky - DRG on the other  | ||
