I know 16 players come out of the open bracket. But do they play the brackets to completion for seeding purposes?

They will play out until the top 4. 1-4 will be seeded randomly against the bottom four from pool play, 5-8 seeded against third place pool players, 9-12 against second place pool players, and 13-16 against the pool play winners. Now do you folks see why seeding in the pool play is so important? Especially when you go from $1,000 prize money in the ro32 to $2,000 in the ro16. =D

Wow, i expected the list to be a lot bigger. I thought there were more Koreans getting sponsored to go to IPL?!
I hope there will be a lot of last minute sign-ups... and as a Euro, i hope a few more EU players decide to go. Although the list is stacked with very good players, there are still oppertunities to make the championship bracket for top players.

Because the mass majority of the Korean players are in pool play.

Hmm shame only 2 koreans in the open bracket from FXO. Would have thought more would try to fly out with this huge prize pool. Well 3 when you count puma, but he's on EG.
