First, you put the 4 second placers - the only thing that matters is who is on the same side of bracket and that gives you only 3 options that are truly different (as order doesn't matter inside the pairs, nor between pairs). Then, because the first place finisher from a group has to be in the other side of the bracket than the secind place finsihers, you just have to draw twice from two, giving you 4 options. Together, there are only 12 ways the matchups may have gone. What is your point? It was completely random within a few set parameters to reward those that finished top of their group by getting a lower seeded player, and to stop a rematch happening before the grand final. | ||

His point is that flipping a coin with two heads is random as well within a few set parameters. | ||

My point is just the interesting comparison between the apparent and actual level of freedom in the draw. Also, I endeavored to slightly nib at the fact that the way it was presented did not refelct the fact and that the casters were sometimes exctied about information that was either guaranteed or inconsequential. But this was not meant as a critique of the system, the system is aboslutely wonderful in my opinion - and also not really as a critique of the casters, as they are really good at SC2 and thus I don't require them to be equally skilled in combimatorics. So, all in all, just a curious observation. | ||

Actually finale would've beaten Welmu if he didn't get caught by that one timewarp. And while that's a classic PvP mistake, it doesn't really say anything about his overall PvP. Finale was a Code S protoss. He knows how to macro. | ||
