Do you realize how arbitrary and unfair this would be?

Drawing were fine, and the fact we have 2 mirrors from a 4/2/2 race repartition is not shocking.

Semis will be Showtime vs Dark and TY vs Stats

Dark vs TY final for the best bo7 ever in LotV!
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

It was drawn by the players themselves. Only rule was that they don't meet anyone from their groupstage until finals.

1st faces 2nd of different group, can't hit other player from his group until grandfinals... That's a pretty standard way to determine a bracket and it works that way in almost all tournaments. It worked this way in GSL as well for example. Guess you never had it explained to you in such detail before.

4/2/2 ratio isn't too bad. I've had to watch most of this tournament in VOD format so I feel like I've missed the "storyline" aspect so far, and thus don't really care who wins.

Yeah considering we started with 7/2/7, 4/2/2 is pretty good.

Right, exactly. I was a little worried it would be super lopsided against T but thankfully we got 2 pretty high quality ones
Like Tinkerbelle, I leave behind a sparkly residue.

No, i don't see why this would be arbitrary and unfair, sry. At least try to make clear what u are talking about.
Maybe a player base of 8 or less is not suitable for this kinda drawing system, cuz there would be no variance left in the worst case (here could have worked), but applying it on a wider player count.. why not?
Random is hard work dude...

A1 vs B2, A2 vs B1, C1 vs D2 & C2 vs D1. so difficult?
Any other format would mean Showtime has play vs Elazer or Neeb or Stats. I really feel Showtime messed up for you so badly.

It was "randomly" drawn. It could have been A1 vs D2 in theory. The only condition was that players from the same group have to be in different halves of the bracket.

haven't followed SC2 lately, is Showtime actually good or are there balance issues / Korean scene no longer as good?

He's actually good. The korean scene is struggling but this is not reason he beat Byun and Patience

Depends on who you ask! But foreigners are the most competitive they've ever been against Korea including Neeblet winning a tournament on Korean soil (the first time a non-Korean has done this since Grrr 16 years ago)

If ByuN (current GSL champion) counts as a reliable source, ShoWTimE is actually that good.

ShoWTimE helped ByuN practice vs Dear, so they played a lot.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Bracket seems awful. Every single KT player is on one side of the bracket? Both Terran players play each other in the Ro8. Would have loved to see Neeb play against a korean terran but I guess that can only happen in the finals.

Also holy how much easier is the top bracket. Blizz colluding with foreigners =b?
