Ryung has such a good group, easily first place :D MC has dropped off, and Ryungs TvT is ungodly.
Hope STC does well too, haven't seen him around much recently.

Nah MC will beat ryung he's like 4-0 against him and his teamleague win was pretty recent too. Ryung not that great vP.

I'm trying to find more info about the open bracket

The main event will be a 32 player Single Elimination championship tournament. The 32 spots for the main tournament will be determined as follows:

8 spots from 4 Global Online Qualifiers through Playhem.
16 spots decided by a 256 person Double Elimination Qualifiers on the venue.
8 spots reserved for invited players.
Four groups of 4 (each group consisting of 2 invitees and 2 from online qualifiers) will battle it out. This will determine the seeds into the Championship Bracket.

This is what I get from Liquipedia. Playing out groups just for seeding seems a bit over the top. Am I missing something here?

If you follow any real life sports, you will know seeding means a lot and yes people do lose on purpose to get a different seed (but of course they will hide this fact and mostly just finger pointing by fans).

This is all correct. The open bracket winner (aka the STRONGEST open player) will be facing one of the four LOWEST group players. 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.


Draw yourself a picture, because you seem to be missing it. 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.

Man, first I was just explaining how I think that a part of the format was silly. But with current infromation we know that the format is just stupid and will favor players that got lower seed from where ever they qualified, than players who got higher seed from the same place. Now I have never ran a turnament or even made a backet but I know, and so should peolple who run a 100k turment know that you cannot mix 2seeds of players from the beginning and make a brcket that doesnt screw some players hard. Whats even more retarded that IGN could have easily avoided this issue by for example, not giving seeds to players from open bracket.

The premium stuff looks freaking awesome, will definitely be purchasing for this event to see the first person and roaming cameras to get the full experience of their first live event. Looks absolutely sick, needs more hype.

I can't even being to explain the seeding algorithm we used to even it out, but players with higher seeds from Open Bracket and higher seeds from the Group Play have significantly easier brackets than do the lower seeds (as it should be).

Maybe they want to use a system similar to MLG's and the "seeding" is actually very important?
