It's just that less great players are playing the game due to lack of practice and migrating to brood war. Swap system has been around forever, and it has had criticism whenever one-sided groups are formed. The idea comes from the MSL (Wiki)MBCGame StarCraft League (MSL) and even then it produced some outcomes that upset certain fans.

The thing is just that Maru has had no trouble creating a one-sided group because there are barely enough elite players in form to fill the round, and well upsets do happen.

Maru also isn't much of a bragger and doesn't feel pressure to entertain the crowd. So he makes the most rational picks. For other champions rivalries, teammates and ego (I'm the best, I'll win anyway) were important factors in their decision making. Maru doesn't have to prove anything, he just does his thing.

Wonder what Dark would do with the swapping ability

I dare say swapping groups around is a bit more than slight

"Theres just less great players". Meanwhile group D could literally be RO4 and nobody would be surprised.

Put Classic with soO and INnoVation, while he had first picked Bunny.

I dont like Maru get the easiest group while Rogue get the hardest group again. Even though Rogue may survives, his mind will be shattered and his beast mode will be toned down just like the two previous code s series before the semifinal.


well thats what happen when ur considered the strongest player and are not top4 so u cant draft a group, you end in the last one most often the strongest one xD

Aside from #1 seed getting two picks, I think the draft order could be tweaked a bit. #2 seed being forced to have the last pick (hardest player) seems rough.

I think first seed should get 4th pick and the swap ability.
