That still doesn't seem very fair. You could be pre-assigned a super hard or super easy opponent just because of the bracket the organizer arbitrarily put you in. And the matchups we have so far make it seem like it's not a standard seeding process either.

Is there any seeding process now?

I'd seed code A by:

Taking the 8 last place finishers in Code S (25-32) random draw vs the 12 prelim group winners (there will be 4 left over). Take the 4 left preliminary group winners+4 random 2nd places in the preliminary group vs 17th vs 24th from Code S last season.

Then take 9-16 from Code S and pair them vs the remaining 8 2nd preliminary finishers. Special seeds like MC would be placed accordingly.

Still some luck involved but that way you still reward going far in Code S as much as you can.

As much as it sucks to get the likes of Dark vs Innovation in Code A, you can hardly fault the tournament organizers for it. They're running an event which is fair and open to all, would be unfair for the newcomers if things got "fixed"

I fault whatever circumstance it is that we only have two fucking GSLs in one year.

I think that if we should be mad about anything, it should be that. We need more GSLs.

Hm yeah three seasons is actually a pretty nice number, 6 starleagues in total sounds good to me.
4 though...

Yes, 6 would be better than 4. But 4 is still better than 2.
Proleague with 8 teams would be much better than Proleague with 7 teams. But it is still better than 6 teams.

I still hope for a KESPA cup or Hot6ix cup that should have happened in May. But it is already almost mid of May and so far, nothing has happened and GSL and SSL are starting :-/ I am not so optimistic now.

Also, the waiting for THE ONE global event does not seem to be somehow realistic. Stupid welfare :-/
