Pool A - This group is actually unfair because of how easy it is in comparison to group B and D. IdrA and Boxer for top 2. IdrA must have the biggest grin ever - the other players in the group are mediocre at best.

Pool B - Very tough group. Bomber and Puma for top 2. InControL is unlucky and draws the short straw...will probably go yet another MLG without winning a game.

Pool C - Mid-tier pool. Rain and Ret for top 2. In similar fashion to pool A, the other players are average.

Pool D - Toughest group, hard to call the top 2. If you put a gun to my head, I'd probably say DRG and MC..I feel bad for Socke who will come all the way from Germany only to get raped T_T.

Note: the above does not consider the open bracket.

well you just confirmed how underrated slush is o_o

still don't get it; is there a flaw in the seeding or whats the hidden math behind this:

Pool A: Seed 1, 9, 10, 15, 18
Pool B: Seed 2, 7, 8, 11, 17
Pool C: Seed 3, 6, 12, 16, 20
Pool D: Seed 4, 5, 13, 14, 19

why wouldn't you seed:

A: 1, 8, 9, 16, 17
B: 2, 7, 10, 15, 18
C: 3, 6, 11, 14, 19
D: 4, 5, 12, 13, 20

like they did for Halo: Reach, etc.?

edit: fixed typo

I see it this way too, but Idra is 0-2 to Boxer (lost Bo3s in both NASL and MLG), so he better not overlook Boxer. Who's also got a style and potential for trickery/cheese that drives Idra crazy. So who knows who'll come out on top.

You probably have to consider that the Exchange players are not seeded the same way because they want to put them in each group.

you make the best point, the pools were obviously hand picked to create match ups that are not fair at all. why does pool d have all the korean invites when traditionally they were spread out???

Eg and tl avoid almost any team killing (1 per team). It will be nice to see if either of these teams can do well in groups now thats its not just team-kills non stop.
