The group stages of the DreamHack Masters Fall Season Finals have concluded, and we now move onto the eight-player, single-elimination playoffs. It's an all-European and Korean affair, and this time, the bracket draw sees the two power-regions of SC2 split the bracket almost perfectly in half.
Is it just me finding it a little bit difficult to muster up the same hype for cross-server online tournament? But I'm looking forward to the intraregional matches. The finals looks like another ZvZ, though.
The bracket draw feels so underwhelming for this calibre of players. Two remaining protoss immediately against each other and all three foreigners on the same side.
Matches are still gonna be great and I'm looking forward to all three of the TvZs for sure!

It’s kinda a hype killer especially since vZ is more difficult with ping. At least we get to see Serral vs Clem that Reynor prevented in EU
Protoss throws in some special taktiks to stomp the swarm in SF, only to get rolled in Finals.
The Overmind wins (as always).
(Bonus side story: Terran heroically takes out the swarm as well, but dies in SF. This sets up a nice P-Z-T Top 4 narrative that avoids further swam nerfs and allows them to sneakily stomp through Blizzcon again. This swarm thing is a tricky bugger, credit to them. Feigning weakness to give other aliens 'false hopes' and the illusion of balance )

WE LITERALLY NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR get Foreigner vs Korean anymore and they pair up all 3 foreigners on one side of the bracket
Meanwhile I've seen Stats vs Trap a billion times, you know how fun it would be to see Clem vs Inno? Or Clem vs Stats?
You're ESL you can do whatever you want just make a rule that says no KvK or FvF in the 1st round, jesus
They do a random draw and they can t do whatsoever they want. Rigging breakets would diminish the entire tournament, wich obviously would be Kind of bad
