It would be better to do this after the groupstage is finished, now the players in B and C already know their potential pairings. This could lead to Dark and herO not giving their best to get the first place in order to avoid Maru as Bunny should still be an easier opponent, even if I hope the Bunjwa proves me wrong. | ||

Based on the liquidpedia, it seems like that way. Thus, I bet Classic may let himself lose against Trap so that he can fight for the comfortable 2nd place spot against TY in ro8 playoff matchup. | ||

What you suggest is a poor strategy though. Classic could conceivably lose to either player from the other match, going to the loser match on purpose would tempt his fate on advancing at all. Going to the winners match first only gives him advantages. And while playing TY is probably preferable as Classic to playing Rogue, I don't think it's good enough to qualify as a comfortable spot given that Classic lost to TY very hard the last time they played (IEM qualifiers). | ||
