Problem is that there will always be problem with seeds. Different people have different opinions regarding how far tournaments results are relevant. I mean you had a lot of people complaining about the IPL WC Korean team which was based on GSL points.
If you ask 100 people to seed these players, you will get 100 different results. And since all players have their ups and downs, it is always possible to argue both sides. Are results from 6 months relevant? 3 months? Or only current month?

a lot were like "oh this would be better if we had X instead of Y"

This tournament is basically code S with extra seeds. Going to be unreal.
|
Any confirmation that they will get the same band, In Uchronia, to do the players' music?
Iron Squid can easily be considered the tournament with the most personality and branding potential. I just wish they took steps to execute this. Take the soundtrack they commissioned for the first tournament, why the fuck can I not buy the soundtrack? All I have are shitty youtube rips, I'm willing to drop $10 on an album that they already produced. But I can't find a single thing, not even on the band's site.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who wants to buy that music.

Wow these groups are stacked, can't wait to play in this! Also it looks like I might be able to play my group when everyone in it is on the same continent, so latency shouldn't play in at all 
|
Im between groups B,D and G for the group of death. Kas really seems like he got misfortune for getting anywhere in this tournament 
|
The people talking about stephano's seed is rediculous, if your going to look at seedings atleast look at the obvious ones, life seed and creator, atleast one of them should have been in group f! just sayin~ Oh and why are u complaing about groups in the first place, just wait until top two advance in each group, thats going to be the real group of death~

The groups were made with seeds based on both achievements and current form. Stephano being 4th on the all time money list and a multiple premier events winner, don't be surprised if he gets a better seed than several Koreans. Yea, my first thought was that Stephano gets preferrential treatment, but then i realized that there is really no difference between a Stephano and a korean, so for all intents and purposes it's Mana who is the "foreigner" hope in that group, skill wise. Due of the little issue with Stephano the last edition, I can tell you that he did not get any "treatment", we did our Group fair & square with everyone, and Stephano got this group due of his results in the past months. Thanks for Feedback,let's rock now ^_^ !! I'm still a little confused. So you're saying that Stephano didn't get a really good group because of luck or preferred treatment. He got it because he has done very well in the past few months? Life has done pretty good in the past few months and he's in a group with seed and creator. Maybe I'm just confused and Stephano did get lucky?
Invited players get better seeds than the qualified players, that is that simple.
