The ranking system is listed Tier 1: PartinG - Top 8 previous GSL Tier 2: Life - Top 8 in points that didn't finish in top 8 of the last GSL Tier 3: Leenock - rank 9-16 in points that didn't finish in the top 8 of last GSL Tier 4: Last - bottom 8 in points that didnt finish in top 8 of last GSL
Since the point system was reset for 2013 it basically goes like this for the current season Tier 1: Season 1 top 8 Tier 2: Season 1 Ro16 Tier 3: Season 1 Ro32 eliminated players and people who advanced through the last round of Code A to round it out Tier 4: People from Code A, Up and Downs, and seeds

I read through the groups, came to Group F and thought it would suck to be in that group - then I saw Group G and thought that maybe it wasn't so bad. :p

Still ridiculous. Any other sports tournament takes several seasons of results into consideration. Even when there are drastic rule changes, like in HotS. I wouldn't normally mind so much, but I don't have the time to watch all the good players in the Ro32, but I would in Ro16, because it's far fewer games. Therefore I'd like to see good players advance. Instead, in half of these groups at least one scrub will advance in favor of great players in other groups.
Seeing how the qualification group went, Effort should have lost on purpose against Noblesse to increase his teammates BByong's chances of advancing. If BByong won his last match, he would still advance as #1 but in case of a loss it would have become a 3-way tie instead of Keen advancing directly.

unless they rig the groups, just by pure chance, that scenario will happen fairly often
