The group winners will be facing the 13, 14, 15, 16 seeds from the open bracket, which could easily be mid-tier players. But wait how will that work then afterwards? Using bracket knowledge I know that what you just said makes things 1000 times worse. You either have to make the open bracket winner potentially face a group play winner in the Ro16, OR you will have to place the group play 4th placers far away from the group play winners. You either have to make open bracket winner get a much worse spot to reach Ro8 of championship bracket, than players that got spots 5-12 from open bracket. Or you have to give players who finish last in their group play better spot to reach Ro8 than players that got 2nd or 3rd from their group. | ||

I really think that if you wanted to avoid the NASLs "I flied 20hours here to play total of 10minutes", you should have still made group play that actually matters. Example: You could have invited 10 + 10 from qualifiers and made 4 groups of 5, out of which top 4 continue. I follow a lot of real sports and other competive stuff, and I have never seen this everyone out of every group advances into same round of final bracket. It doesn't really matter the # advancing. Group play to determine seeding is not uncommon. The regular season in the NBA determines seed, but not all advance of course to the playoffs. Like I said, because of the lack of elimination factor, it's not as exciting, but definitely not pointless. | ||

It's not like it's a travesty when he doesn't cast a tournament, I think we'll be more than entertained by the casters (who have been casting for IPL for quite a while now and deserve the chance not to be overshadowed by Day[9]'s presence). Plus, MLG, IPL, and Blizzcon are within weekends of each other so there's that. | ||

They're doing it quite well, and despite all of your credentials in running tournaments and making them large successes, I'm positive they'll do well without your input. | ||

I was just curious if they asked him or something of that nature. edit: also i dont think any of those casters are very entertaining, but thats not the point here | ||
