Its astounding how many fuckups happen during those AM qualifiers and MLG got bashed for it.Here nobody seems to give a damn. NASL seems to get a free pass every time, but they havent improved anything since they've taken over this WCS. And I doubt they will, But they can't do wrong ofc. + Show Spoiler + Killing esports bla bla | ||

Here's how I see it. The original quote "the brackets are random and it's not fair to seed people because it's a qualifier and everyone should have equal chances" makes me think: first of all it's based on ladder, so why not seed it for example, based on ladder rank? Is it also fair to you if one quarter has all the highest ranked players while another has the bare minimum ranked qualified players? I believe EU wcs had seeds all qualifiers (dunno about wildcard) while NA wcs for sure had just random brackets all the way since the first. I mean, if you think the whole idea of seeding is bad or whatever then I just don't know what to say.. So by bracket luck (which is evident in all of the qualifiers thus far), some players that would qualify for sure if they lucked out should miss out while some others luck in? And "how do they get chances to show their skill if in the qualfier for the "Challenger League" their first opponent is bomber?" How about xeno or myself? These 'newcomers' would most likely not make it out if the previous qualifiers and this one had seeding though.. | ||

ESL used their Go4SC2/IEM seeding (dont really know how it works) for every qualifier. Only problem with that was that players who never played on the ESL site (Yoda, Patience) got the lowest seeds of the Wildcard qualifier(First was #15, cant really explain why, YoDa was #69 and last) Theres always bracket luck involved in every qualifier, but you can atleast try to setup a fair competetion by balancing the brackets out. Having 4 favourites of the qualifier meet before the ro8 is not a fair way of seeding or a fair bracket for that matter Ladder rank would be weird because most players didnt bother to play after getting 200 wins so they were just Masters, and how do you seed those? That would bring the same problems as the ESL seeding. | ||

I can confirm that the EU wildcard also had seeds and comletely agree with everything you said. Today really was unfortunate for you and others and it could've been avoided if done correctly imo. No offense to Desrow (he played great against JonSnow), but if you look at his bracket and yours for example, it's hard to not see a problem and think it's fair. I hope you keep going though, voted for you on http://gameon.gg/vote at least. | ||

That would bring the same problems as the ESL seeding. You could seed the known players like Check and Bomber who finished in top 16 gm last season and randomize the rest. WCS america qualifiers heavily depended on bracket luck this time, even MLG used seeds when they hosted the qualifiers for wcs.

I agree, lots of problems with seeding, I'm not sure why they didn't just use a double elimination bracket instead of single elimination, adds a few more games and probably an extra hour or two to the length of the qualifier, but drastically reduces bracket luck. Double elim is generally pretty bad for broadcasting purposes, but the intent of the qualifier is to find the best players, which DE is no doubt better than SE, hell even Code A is using partial double elim for their qualifier now. | ||
