Nina seemed to have decided that she couldn't win unless Ukko attacked, and Ukko seemed to have decided that he couldn't win unless Nina attacked. More static defence wouldn't have forced a result.

Something is just wrong with the current Swiss format, Showtime got beaten by Wayne in round 1 but got into the next stage with relatively easy win against mid-pack players, the same with Spirit. Meanwhile, Wayne beaten them both, and got "rewarded" with a match against Serral which was a close one, and then play against Harstem who has perfomed at high level so far. And now Wayne could be eliminated if he got cheese by a Protoss or Terran in the last round.

What's up with Astrea, he was looking like the #2 toss in the world at the end of 2022. I imagine he'll still advance to the playoffs but still. Hopefully he comes back strong.

I can imagine there is no seeding in between rounds. When you are in the "2-0" tier, you play against another "2-0" player, no other rules apply.

Yeah that is the problem.
There is no clear seeding or if there is one, ESL is not comunicating how it works.
Wayne and MaxPax realy got the short end of the stick here, they had 10x harder pathes than many players that are allready in the playoffs

Maxpax didn't really get a path that was significantly more difficult than people with a similar seed, but in the case of Wayne, it was most likely because his initial seeding was #14 in the group, which seems to be how they are arranging matches for the most part, except for situations in which there would be repeat match (Group B round 3 upper bracket seems to have been an exception to this rule).

Yeah, last year's DH Atlanta qualifier, SEA got $17,950 split among 12 players. This year the whole region got a $1,600 split among 2 players. It's worse than the GSL prize pool contraction.

Someone needs to get one of the Murdochs addicted to SC2

Nah the Murdochs are busier playing cat and mouse with celebrities over phone hacking scandals that they can't even dedicate 15000 dollars to fund the Asia region (oh dear)

Joke aside, Meomaika and Ranger deserved better. But as for some of the other players, going into holidays the day of the qualifiers is a downright bad look (and sending only one player instead of doing their most to put on the numbers)
I'm just a cynical video game enjoyer who is probably unfazed by many business dealings many would find utterly distasteful, while not strictly illegal by the law as seen in a general sense in the world.

Ironically, some of those who barely qualified 3-2 might have the most favourable early brackets.

While it's not a slam dunk, Astrea could have gotten way worse than Trigger. DnS could have a chance to semi-finals if playing THE perfect game.
