Maru was 1st in his group, Zest 2nd in his, and that's just how it came about. sOs vs Trap doesn't look like there's seeding at all. Trap was 9-12th last season, he shouldn't get someone who finished 1st in their group. Same with INnoVation vs Dark. What we have right now looks like it's completely arbitrary. None of those were Code S last season though so i think it is fair on paper? On paper 2 people from Code A qualifiers are facing eachother, if Maru got that kind of draw i am going to be very happy. It's a free win for Dark though with how poor Inno is, i mean he lost to a Dinosaur  | ||

With INno being in terrible form right now, someone with his skill would have been "fair" to get match with Dark, but he's THE Machine and it's a teamkill so I feel like that's mainly the reason why we're rioting. However, I do want the Code A Group Stage back, this format is silly and with only 2 seasons a year, a lot of players will be missing out and that's totally not good for the scene | ||

On paper, what would be fair is that people who do better in the qualifiers (1st place in a group) and the ones who did well in Code S avoid the (on paper) hardest draws for Code A. As an example: Trap vs sOs - Trap was 9-12th in Code S last season - sOs won his qualifier group over Pet HerO vs Pet - HerO was 25th-32nd in Code S last season - Pet got 2nd in his qualifier group after losing to sOs These matches, on paper, are not fair for Trap or sOs, but hugely advantageous for HerO and Pet. | ||

While Stork and HerO get a free Code S spot (vs Ragnarok and Pet...) sOs, Trap, Inno, Dark and surely more to come find themselves in realistic RO16/8 matches... Somehow I get the feeling that half the Code A matches will be more interesting than most of RO32 in Code S... Please Afreeca, bring back Code A Group Stage... Pet is going to beat HerO lol | ||

Can very well happen. RagnaroK could beat Stork too, I guess, but his ZvP is a complete dud. | ||

There are many ways they could avoid this kind of draw... They could rank players based on their proleague record or aligulac rating but they prefer to randomize and they end up with more viewers in code a than in code s lol | ||

Maybe, but he can get good practice in. RagnaroK beat Hurricane in the qualifier today, and we all know Hurricane coached Stork through his last Code A match already.

Ranking by Aligulac benefits all online heroes. Makes more sense to rate by GSL. | ||

I don't think there's a single match I'm not looking forward to actually, I can think of reasons I care about every match. It might be an unfair tournament, but Code A genuinely might be my favourite part of GSL | ||
