ESL put Serral in the hands down easiest group there can be, and put him in an earlier day. Then put people like Maru and Reynor in the last group knowing they will play long games and they'll be tired. This gives Serral rest time and time to observe Maru and Reynor. They are gonna be extremely tired the next day and Serral will capitalize on that. Honestly. All of the groups should have been played at the same time.
You have no proof. You pull stuff from your ass. Can you please stop? You are an idiot.

With no group setup transparency from ESL, all I can do is speculate.

Byun with the build order win, scissors beats paper

If you just look at the seeding of EPT points it looks pretty clear to me how groups are decided?
1-4 are all in different groups.
5-8 are in different groups.
9-12 are in different groups
13-16 are in different groups.
Hopefully it's completely randomized from there. This is never gonna leave us with perfect groups but no system is.
It is, but for 2 years in a row the draw results are lopesided

As I said, no system is gonna leave us with perfect groups.
Edit: This is the same for all sports; sometimes you end up in much harder groups than other times. Sometimes the same team will end up in a tough group 2, 3 or 4 years in a row.

Groups with fixed positions for each seed announced in advance would be ideal.

It's an excellent start, but not a straight win with someone like Reynor

Without any sort of randomization you incentivize people to throw certain matches late in the season to end up in a certain group. Personally that's something I want to avoid in Starcraft.

Do you have any skills in critical thinking? You say that your opinion is most likely the right one, but offer no evidence. You are literally just talking nonsense. Lets say that you were taking a test and got everything correct. Your teachers still fails you, because he/she had no evidence on you not cheating. Same logic as you are using.

I believe it. ESL knows how important it is for Serral to get first. Not in terms of audience hype but in terms of his emotional well-being and self-esteem. Because silver medal is bad, and if you are third you are absolutely awful, if you're fourth you're completely useless. Only winning matters, that's the Finnish attitude

Blizzcon used to do that, I liked it a lot more

If Clem can beat Zoun and Byun, Zoun HAS to beat Maru to advance

I was just about to go off on you until you quoted that. Well played, sir.

Actually my favorite SC2 quote in a long time.
Clem looking good vs. Zoun. Byun will be a tough match but I'll be impressed if he can get himself into a decider match after losing his first 5 games and pulling the sixth one out of his ass

Especially with such a clear gap between the 4 horsemen of Zerg, Maru and the next step down. It’s really difficult to make that fair. That’s my S class anyway
Go by EPT points and fully transparently people will still moan, because oh Trap is actually 3rd seed and apparently trash, so one or more group will 100% have more than one of that top group in it.
There’s too much one has to discount IMO to consider these groups particularly unfair.
Pesky things like, Zest and Trap actually winning tournaments the past year and being quite good for example. Or how the Korean tournies went

Soo how are you supposed to win vs a good zerg on this map

I agree
Which is why I suggested drawing it so that the same ranked player within each tier will end up in different groups
e.g.
Group A: 1 8 11 14
Group B: 2 5 12 15
Group C: 3 6 9 16
Group D: 4 7 10 13
Then 17-20 will be drawn into the groups randomly, and those from the Ro36 will be paired with them according to points
