As a spectator at this event, I think it is going to be impossible to see even a third of the matches I would love to watch! How does IPL decide which Open Bracket matchups to cast when so many of them look amazing!!

The last group is the most stacked IMO. I'm disappointed that there's no loser's bracket, especially for such a large group play.



I take it back, there is a loser's bracket.

Stacked brackets . . . sheesh. haha Soooo excited for this.

My predicitions for the winners of each winners bracket
WB1: Oz
WB2: HerO
WB3: Creator
WB4: Maru

Such hard decisions though, anyone's guess is as good as mine. So many code A/S koreans that anything can happen. Who knows how some of these players new to foreign events will do.

The multiplying villanies of man do swarm upon him.

Amazing brackets! Good job to IPL not letting the bracket be randomized and have fxo teamkills in the same round where gold leaguers fight eachother (cough... mlg)

I don't really have a refined opinion on team kills in such brackets. It's sort of just tough luck, but I wonder if there can't be done something to prevent it at least for a while or not "that many". If you look over the bracket, we - Team Liquid - kill eachother very early all over the bracket. It's just not worthwhile business for us to send so many players to such events if they're going to eliminate eachother that early. I'm not saying we can prevent teamkills all the way until the bracket finals - or we almost can, but I don't expect it. I'm just simply thinking if there isn't a fair way to draft so that we won't have 2-3 teamkills in the third round?

What are your opinions out there? Do you think it'd be fair to put what team people are on into such an equation?

Arrengement should be made for team mates to meet further in the bracket possible but with so many teams sending the majority of their player at this tournament i guess it is just impossible to do it fairly for all the teams.

Sheth, Tyler, Jinro, and Haypro have to get to finals before a teamkill
Hero and Ret meet in quarterfinals
TLO, Taeja and Zenio are he worst, but they don't meet till quarter and semifinals. It honestly doesn't seem that terrible when you have 9 players in open.

edit: I'd prefer less liquids hitting, I love liquid, but i don't think it's that terrible.

Uhm I think the spread could be better, but they should still be able to qualify through the Open Loser's Bracket right?

Looking at the Brackets, the only real TL teamkill bracket is Bracket 4.
Let's suspend our bias for a moment though and look at how likely the teamkils will be:
TLO will probably fall to Killer, so Taeja and Zenio might meet in the Semis of that bracket, which isn't too bad. And Zenio might not make it past Maru, either.
Jjakji will probably beat Sheth if he gets there.

Ret-HerO is also a bit disappointing too I guess,but Curious-July are in the same position. But two TK when you have nine players isn't that bad I think.

I think the bracket is done fairly well overall? Just that TL has so many people so TK are inevitable

Of course it's fair, but if you field as much as nine players in a 128 man Open Bracket, you have to accept that at some point there are going to be team kills. It certainly should be taken into account, but there are other, more important factors as well, and I actually think IPL has done a good job with the brackets, you can't satisfy everyone completely, but with this bracket, I think the overwhelming majority of people are going to be satisfied.

I really can''t see the "we kill each other very early all over the bracket" you mention, sorry. You can't expect every Liquid player to have a clear path to the finals of his bracket, so we could have four all-Liquid bracket finals. That's unreasonable.

Indeed, it isn't that bad. Also, since there is a losers bracket I think it's fair.
We know nothing.
