Nothing against them they are probably all good players but they well gert slaughtered by the top players.
So much talent in the openbracket. Such a shame that the left seeds were not given to the highest open bracket finishers. They would deserve them because they earned them by defeating a lof of good players in the open bracket.
The seeds came from their performance at the Arena, I believe.

MKP and Leenock seed 45 in the open bracket ? Dafuq ?
|
Is there any information about how the seeds are determined, because I see some seeded players of who - at least to my knowledge - did not perform awfully well in the championships.

Gaulzi competing lol! Can't wait to hear about pros being cannonrushed out of the open bracket.

Well, that's a bit disappointing. This MLG went from "must watch" to "might watch".
We don't need you to have a good time.

The basis of their seedings for pool play now indeed.
Because of scheduling challenges that would place undue stress on the players, we regret to announce that KeSPA pros will not be appearing at the Summer Championship in Raleigh.
Surprise, surprise.

Seed 3 & 5 and 4 & 6 together. Why?
By any logic, 3 & 6 and 4 & 5 should be in the same groups. This is an disadvantage to seed 3 compared to seed 4. It makes no sense.
I don't understand it either. Maybe they wanted the Oz/Stephano storyline or something. I guess it is a mistake but who knows.

It doesn't necessary have to be that way. As long as the sum of the seeds in each group is the same, it's still mathematically fair to everyone...
Well, except that the sums aren't the same. So yeah, someone messed up since it just doesn't make any sense. A simple 1-8-9-16-17-23 type grouping would've worked perfectly since the number of players in each group is even.

Yeh think they done it on purpose. The way it should be done is 1 2 3 4, seed 1 in each group then you fill in the rest, in numerical order. So Taeja should of been grouped with Stephano.

bizarre seeding and underwhelming player lineup tbh, hoping to see Stephano vs Taeja at some point though

No look here:http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=356282
Top 16 are from arena. (i am ok with that they went through kind of a qualifier and all are at least decent on the pro level)
8 are invites. they were supposed to be given to kespa players.

I guess you could be right, but it seems to me that the more important distribution must be in the top. For the third seed, playing seed 5 or 6 might make a big difference, while playing seed 17 or 18 is more likely less important.

About time we had some info! :D The open bracket is looking pretty crazy I can't wait to see how things work out this MLG!

Can see that kespa takes this partnership seriously. Would have been quite difficult for them to delay osl by one week so their players could attend this.
