Instead of six-player round-robin Pools, they are eight-player double-elimination mini-tournaments (for lack of a better term). The worst a Group player can do is 0-4. | ||

I have a good grip on reality, all you have to do is look at the liquipedia brackets and see how well they did. It's a lot better than winning one bo3. I mean to be fair people say "kespa talent" but kespa picked the best 6 they have. It all goes downhill from there. If anyone watched the Hero/Roro game today they would realize Kespa still has a little ways to go. I feel like a lot of the problem was massive pressure on the GSL players to win. Only 1 kespa player was able to qualify from the open bracket. Edit: Just glancing through day 1 of the open bracket, looking at some famous kespa player results: Wooki 0-2 고재흠 Hoejja 1-2 Harrier Flying 0-2 Brown Flash 2-0 Brown, Flash 1-2 Sniper Crazy-hydra 1-2 inori Bisu 0-2 Moon Fantasy 0-2 Pet Only 1 kespa player, Flash, was able to beat a top Code B/Code A player. It's not as though Kespa players winning against GSL players is a common thing | ||

Costs are not that high to be honest. | ||

If the qualifiers were done today then KeSPA players would have a much higher chance of making it through and this shows by how well they have done in the actual tournament. | ||

Hopefully, Dallas will be better in that regard. I'm not sure, MLG Dallas will take place at the same dates than ESWC in Paris. Otherwise, if the brackets on Liquipedia are correct, the top seeds are totally disadvantaged as I was expecting it yesterday. I hope it will be changed, we can't have Sasquatch-GoOdy in the first round as well as TaeJa-MarineKing or Stephano-Leenock. | ||

It's not as though Kespa players winning against GSL players is a common thing That was so long ago.. their results are much different now. The top Kespa players, like Effort and RoRo, Jaedong and Flash are in the lower levels of Code-S, at the least, at this point. Most of the other Kespa players are also at least somewhere in Code-A, even. | ||

I know it is double elim, but this is just wrong imo. I dont know what can be done at this point, but imagine Steph (or any other high caliber high seed) has to play MKP in the 1st round gets send to loser bracket, where he faces Oz or Violet or another Korean from the open bracket. This cant be right and cant be in the interest of MLG. Higher seeds should obv be an advantage. In my opinion give Taeja, Hero, Steph, Losira etc a BYE in the 1st round, like IEM did with their group winners. They already proved themselves in the Arena. And yes I´m a foreigner fanboy and afraid Steph gets an early exit but the point is still valid. Pls tell me I just read the brackets wrong. | ||
