Even Serral has to be unhappy, there is always a chance he has a bad day. | ||

![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/0hJt4wd.png) seedings completly out of my brain, swapped around 1-2 ppl within 1-2 ranks to get at least 1 per race in each group. not so hard to get fair and balanced... | ||

Why not just arbitrarily place people into groups without the seeding entirely  (that's EFFECTIVELY what you did) | ||

Why not just arbitrarily place people into groups without the seeding entirely (that's EFFECTIVELY what you did)Well, the approach isn't that bad at all. But one would have to refer to a at least somewhat more official ranking. This could be easily done by using aligulac or WCS points. Also it would be more clever to classify players in skill squads (8 players in skill squad A, 8 players in skill squad B and so on) and then seed players of each skill squad into the groups randomly. You wouldn't get in arbitrary "this player could be slightly better than that player, but I'm not quite sure"-situations as much. | ||

Well it's still the best we have, unless we go full subjective, it's better to have a metric that can favor foreigner or Koreans a bit than to decide we are the god of Starcraft and that actually Stats losing in the round of 32 dosen't count or things like that. | ||
