Obviously it's based on WCS points. There're 6 players without any points, so they're facing No.1-No.6 (randomly maybe). The 7th is Elazer, he's facing XY who qualified with lowest points (175). Violet is 8th, and facing Kalazhur who is second lowest (240). You can continue to map the rest players easily. For Nerchio, if he could beat Violet in IEM Shanghai then he can surpass Polt and be in a good position for this. But he failed, so he's still No.3 and have to be in the same quad with Neeb (No.6). Also in second round he has to face winner of No.14 and No.19 (Puck/Scarlett), consider Scarlett's HSC performance and Nerchio's ZvZ is his worst match-up this may not be that easy like their match in Spring Circuit. So that's all bad consequences of not beating Violet in IEM Shanghai. For Neeb it's the same, if he could win IEM shanghai he can be in No.5 which should be a slightly better quad than he has now, especially consider he's not fear of ShowTime (just 3-0'd). So now we can only see Polt continue lay on his success from Winter Circuit and get relatively quite easy to at least ro8. Though his recent Leifeng cup run make a little bit come back sign for him. All WCS events uses this seeding system, for example IEM Shanghai with Polt out Hydra is No.4 and Neeb is No.5 so you're sure to see Hydra vs Neeb in second round. (Except the open tournaments like DH Valencia) Don't know if most people like this seeding system, but I think it's at least better than pure random. And, there're always amazing things happen, especially on Circuit events. Still remember Strange almost take down Polt? And the miracle run by ShowTime (at least at that time). So hopefully there're some new kings or even 0 point players can bring something amazing. | ||

Obviously it's based on WCS points. There're 6 players without any points, so they're facing No.1-No.6 (randomly maybe). No, actually the only person without points is True, who should be playing Showtime in the first round. Generally, seeds/matchups are based on WCS points with a few strange exceptions. | ||

Generally, seeds/matchups are based on WCS points with a few strange exceptions. Looks like I didn't open the "rest" part in WCS points page so missed some players actually do have some points. I checked again and here's the results: 1. ShoWTimE - 4235 2. Polt - 4170 3. Nerchio - 4100 4. Snute - 3405 5. Hydra - 3135 6. Neeb - 3050 7. Elazer - 2310 8. viOLet - 2310 9. MaSa - 2055 10.

TRUE - 0 Based on this list, I think the the only reasonable explanation is that they somehow treat TRUE's WCS point as something between 30 to 45 instead of 0. So, TRUE is actually placed at the 29th position which faces Snute. And all other players matches the seeding. Maybe someone from blizzard/dreamhack can explain the details why TRUE has some points between 30 to 45. This is not important to me (or anyone who just watch and enjoy the games) but it's actually very important to those players, especially Snute - he should get Semper according to the WCS points but he actually got TRUE, which is quite different. Hope someone can provide an answer. | ||

Looks like I didn't open the "rest" part in WCS points page so missed some players actually do have some points. I checked again and here's the results: Just one more detail. You also missed the points of Major and Marinelord that have been removed - but still are used for seeding. Meaning Marinelord has 1060 and Major has 485 points giving them respectively seeds 14 and 20. Anyway the rest is ok and this will not change much. | ||

They're probably taking into consideration that TRUE had accumulated 300 WCS KR points this year (100 from GSL S1 Code A, 200 from GSL S2 Code S spot which he forfeited when switching to Circuit) in some form. At least, that's my guess. | ||
