For those discussing swiss vs round-robin format - there is no one format can can do it all - be perfectly fair and have exciting matches. There will always be trade-offs between different formats. What I like about swiss is that each players' tournament fate is literally in their own hands - win and advance. There will be no scenario where their progression is dependent on another match.

I think in the end they get the 8 best players left correctly, thats all that matter to me. Seeding and all that are just for the hype, but ultimately you have be able to beat everyone to win.

It was a great format, they dont botch it now by creating an unnecessary zvz right?
it is not a mistake right?
We could get robbed of a classic vs serral rematch and so much more by accident...

Even if seeded correctly, Serral (3rd/4th) has to play Reynor (5th) since he can't play Cure (6th) in the Quarter-final

He will also be on the same side of the bracket as Maru (1st)

MSL Groups into 8 player double elim is the best format.

Not being used at all, sadly..

Upon further examination, Cure is ranked below Solar because of the seeding from Gamers Without Borders 2023 results
It also explains why Serral is 3rd while ByuN is 4th

3-0 Maru Korea Stage 1 Lower Bracket
3-0 Classic Korea Stage 2 Upper Bracket
3-1 Serral World Stage 1 Upper Bracket 2790 EPT points
3-1 ByuN Korea Stage 1 Upper Bracket 1135 EPT points
3-1 Reynor World Stage 1 Lower Bracket
3-2 Solar Korea Stage 1 Upper Bracket
3-2 Cure Korea Stage 2 Upper Bracket 1640 EPT points

honestly not the best system I think. Having the qualifiier itself seeded kind of makes sense. Then you get players that actually qualify for the main event and should be treated equal at least for my taste. And the performance there should determine playoff seeding but thats just my take

Seeding criterias may need some improvements, but I really like the system since it removes randoness, especially in Playoffs draw

5.5k on KR ladder is not a fluke, MMA practiced and it shows!
Poor Mvp is probably gonna get destroyed by Stephano, I wonder if MMA has a shot vs the Frenchman
