i think group balance is overhyped and frankly unbalanced groups are fun and interesting. group luck obviously matters, but there's no tournament format that would be perfectly "fair" or not involve luck, you'd have to play hundreds of games round robin on the same map to eliminate luck

Next four weeks will be really interesting with both IEM and WESG happening. Specially group A may be viewed totally different after IEM. On other note, lets hope that this time they have a good hotel for players.

If Scarlett was a group A player you'd be livid.

Also technically seeding is "rigging the bracket"
very illegal and very uncool

Haha, I remember that whole rigging the groups debacle a while back. Some people are determined to be unhappy, regardless of what actually happens.

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...

...you understand that the "completely out of my brain" part completely invalidates the seeding? 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.
Furthermore, I consider that some kind of Code A must be reestablished.

Aligulac and WCS points are both bad metrics. You might disagree, but it is not an objective matter like you think it is.
Banned for saying "zerg players are by far the biggest whiners in sc2 history" despite the fact that this forum is full of such posts about Terrans. Foreigner Elitists in control!

You could do a seeding based on prize money won

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.
