The group format has changed. There are now eight players per Group. It was to be four from Arena, two KeSPA and two Open Bracket winners, but the KeSPA guys couldn't make it, so they're being replaced by the players with the best Summer Season results (after the top Arena finishers). | ||

The last players got in because not enough Arena participants were available, and the next ranking criterion is Invite Qualifier finish (which would go to NA before the other regions, because NA's 7th-9th place finishers didn't make it to the Arena, while the "first losers" from the EU and KR Invite qualifiers finished 10th). | ||

The groups are formed from players seeded from the Arena. The Arena's players were seeded by their placement in online qualifiers. That's why they're in the groups. On another note, "HotForSundance" top 4. | ||

People don't pay attention, do they? the seeds are based on nothing, and then within the seeding system the groups are part randomized too. | ||

I wouldn't go that far, but I doubt that most viewers are aware of something like Sasquatch's win over Sheth in LR1 of the Arena, and fewer would have paid attention to the results of the open and inivite qualifiers that determined the seeding for the open bracket (and, as it turns out, three spots in Group Play). Can't really blame people for that, as there was so much competitive SC2 going on (KeSPA transition, WCS, GSL S3 and GSTL S2 ending, etc.) | ||
