Pretty hype, a bit disappointed about the gsl vs gsl and world vs world matchups we ended up with but I guess that just means the foreigners will make it farther
Unless you’re 6k+ don’t balance whine. You’re just bad.

Fantasy got more votes than Inno and Elazer more than Reynor? Rigged polls?

Voting was fine but this bracket is just bad, it should be gsl vs world and not random, or at least some seeding...

This might surprise you but Elazer doesn't actually have a fan base bigger than any other player in this tournament.

perhaps, but then he had a more dedicated fan base that went the extra mile.

I just continue to not understand why the bracket isn't designed to be korean vs. foreigner on Ro16.

Some KR vs KR, World vs World guarantees that you'll see non-KR players (aside from Serral(?) sorry TY) in the ro8.

I think these brackets are among the worst for terrans, I suspect we might have 0 terrans in the ro8 if Maru doesn't beat Stats. Is it played before of after the new patch?

Predictions:
(Z)Dark 3-0 (Z)Elazer
(Z)soO 3-2 (T)TIME

(T)Maru 3-1 (P)Stats
(P)Neeb 2-3 (P)ShoWTimE

(Z)Serral 3-1 (T)TY
(P)Trap 3-1 (T)HeRoMaRinE

(T)SpeCial 1-3 (Z)Reynor
(P)Classic 3-0 (T)FanTaSy

Both (Z)Elazer and (T)FanTaSy will get destroyed by their opponent but I don't think (Z)Scarlett would have beaten (Z)Dark, as for (T)INnoVation versus (P)Classic I guess it depends on the patch but (T)INnoVation would have had a better shot at beating (P)Classic than (T)FanTaSy, for sure

How's the balance of power these days? Is every KR player bar Fantasy (or including Fantasy?) favoured over every foreigner that's not Serral?
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

Maru vs Stats and Fanta v Classic pretty disappointing in round 1. Should swap Special and Fantasy's spots and swap Neeb/Showtime for Stats...

Well, as of today I'd say Fantasy and soO are the GSL team's weak links and can definitely (are likely to?) lose to players other than Serral. Two weeks of preparation might change things though.

Well you know what they say, a good bracket is most likely a rigged bracket. That the bracket is terrible probably means it was completely fair (no seeding)
very illegal and very uncool
