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 )

I disagree 100%
When your Foreigner Vs Korean viewer count increases by 20k+ just because its FvK and helps your tournament and staff survive off the popularity of the event, it doesnt matter. When ESL decides this whole year was not worth it bc viewer count just wasnt what was expected and its all because you were "honorable" in your bracket draw, how do you feel then? It's absolutely laughable already how much viewership these "ESL open cup" brackets get
Plus Im not saying RIGGING the brackets but they've literally put Maru and Serral on opposite sides of the bracket before for a potential Maru Serral finals at BLIZZCON, literally the biggest SC2 tournament in the world
All they did was explain that they made their own rule that the #1 seeds of each region must be on opposite sides of the bracket You can literally just make a rule that doesnt allow FvF and KvK 1st round of bracket and nobody would blink a single eye
There’s going to be some crazy mind games going on in the top side of the bracket - because three of the four players there are all in the same upcoming Ro16 GSL group.
I do support the foreigners as well, but you know what? It’s time for a Protoss to win something. It’s been way too long. I think the last time we Aiur supporters had anything was when Stats won a GSL (2017?). Zerg wins everything, Terran competes for most of it. It’s overdue.

Unfortunately that also just means that they may be saving their builds for their GSL group stages. Unless of course they are confident to come up with another plan/build in time for Group D, which I think it's about 3 weeks away.
The scheduling is once again not favourable to the Koreans. I don't know why we can't just start 3 or 4 hours earlier to give them a better time of the day. Inno for example played until about 3am yesterday. And this isn't the first time this has happened.
I don't think Rogue, Inno, Stats (yes Stats too he has a Protoss and 2 Terrans in his GSL group) and Trap have reason to hide anything for GSL or play super mind game heavy yet. Their groups are in 3 weeks.

lol suggesting that a SC2 bracket is not rigged
PS. Strongly oppose lame rules like the Maru-Serral one, let's have a serious sport here, not some TV game show.

I kinda like bracket because we will have at least 1 F in semis. Who knows what would happen if we got 3x KvsF. Serral do not impress anymore on his 2018 level and I don't think Reynor and Clem are capable of stomping Koreans but they can be close. Everybody here can get the title imho except maybe Trap.
It's a shame it's BO5, I wish quarter/semi finals would be BO7.
Btw biggest shout out to ESL/DreamHack organizers. I think this tourney is the best I've seen for years. 3 weeks of continuous tournament from bizarre flop sided to extremely competitive games. And what's even more interesting is that any participant is a winner to some degree, there are no losers in this tournament. I strongly advocate for the future to have more online premier tournaments like this instead of spending money on venues, traveling and security with less participants and winners on it.

Well you are right but viewership IS everything in esports. If we dont want SC2 to shrink like wc3 we need fresh blood, viewer numbers to maintain money for running tournaments. Other part is the game but thats up to Activision.

Yes and No. Viewership at the cost of tournament integrity will have dimmished results in the long run. If you devaluate tournaments, overtime you will lose any appealing of the game.

Viewes want rivalries, more personality included, etc. Not necessarily always the best quality games. In mentioned Blizzcon viewership shrinked when sOs defeated Maru convincingly.
EU finals was best example, we all wanted to see Reynor vs Serral chain finals broken. Clem did that and we were all excited. Unlike sc2, csgo or other games do not have this kind of domination of 1 or 2 teams (players) and maybe that's why thry average half of a million viewers for Majors. If a little bracket tweaking can do that for sc2 I am in.
Dont forget that several years ago when competition was stiff we had more then 150k viewers (on all streams). Now its barely 10% of that thanks to many variables but same players advancing is fair share of that.
I was really happy to see MaxPax, Arctur, Kas, Stephano, Cobra and other new (and "new") faces in DH thanks to new system. I am sure not many people stay up late to watch LA or CN finals seeing Special and TIME stomping everyone for 10th year in a row.

Doesn‘t work for really simple reasons. First of all, there are too many Koreans to avoid any KvK and any FvF matched. Secondly, each first place finisher has to face a second place finisher in the first round. That‘s absolutey necessary to not make the group stage completey unnecessary. That‘s an absolutely vital rule to make a tournament meaningful in any way.
The rule you mentioned kind of makes sense, though. And it does not take anything away from the tournament. The best players (and in an ideal world that‘d be the first seed of each region) should not be in the same half of the bracket. That‘s a restriction that does not take anything away from the tournament in general. A restriction like „no FvF“ could potentially ruin the entire integrity of a tournament, if, for example, no Foreigner places first (or second that is) in his or her group. This might work if we - let‘s say - had far more players in the first bracket stage. Like a Ro32 instead of a Ro8 and more than two „regions“ (in European Champions League (soccer), they prevent two teams from the same country to face each other in thr first bracket stage. Howrver, there are 16 teams and a maximum of 4 teams from one country in this phase. There, such a rule can be implemented, because there‘s no chance that at any point, the integrety of the tournament has to be diminished to make this rule happen). But with only 8 players from 2 regions, such a rule is completely impossible. You‘d have to come up with exceptions for all different situations that would prevent the rule from being kept in placr (like: not an exact F/K split with 4 players each)
And additionally, I think in an online tournament these brackets are even really good. Whether we like it or not, latency is an issue. So at least we won‘t have to many matches were latency will be a huge issue. The finals will, unfortunately, but at least before the finals matches should be mostly even.
Bracket luck is an important part of any knock-out stage in any tournament.
I am also very doubtful if repeated dominance is that important of a factor why viewership is so much lower than it was in the heydays. I have more faith in: -Smaller player base. -More competition from other games with a strong scene. -An old game. -Mistakes in the past like not going ftp earlier.
The scheduling is once again not favourable to the Koreans. I don't know why we can't just start 3 or 4 hours earlier to give them a better time of the day. Inno for example played until about 3am yesterday. And this isn't the first time this has happened.
They have addressed this already: this tournament is worldwide and its main focus is on the foreign scene, specifically EU and NA. It is literally impossible to schedule at a convenient time for every single region in the world. And they aren’t going to change a schedule that’s already been going the previous three weeks for every other region to accommodate what basically amounts to “guest stars.” Honestly, I don’t have a problem with it, it’s the one tournament I can watch at a decent time in NA, selfishly. I get enough of the horrible 1 and 230 AM GSL start times during the year, it’s nice to have one event that fits with my region’s time zone.
That's what i like about Korean Zergs, they can both play reactive macro and doing tactical timing attacks like this one, unlike those EU Zergs who just purely rely on macro plays and repeated builds over and over.
To all those guys, talking about rigging the breaket to make it more exciting BecAUse Its aN EspORt aND iT neEDs mORe viEWerS.
I don t follow any other esport but SC2 and I don t care one bit how other esports are handling things or how sc2 is compared to them. But I follow (and compete) in a traditionall sport and I KNOW from my own experience, that there is nothing worse than a rigged/ unfair breaket. That will translate in unpleased players in short term and in meaningless tournaments in the long term. If any esports want to surfive for a long term, you can t just compare it to other esports but to traditional sports as well, as that is the competiotion on the media market in the end.

Bracket is rigged in all professional sports. Look at Champions League for example or EURO. Everything is almost preset because "this team" cannot match "that team".
Similar things happen in tennis aswell even you always have seeds predetermined. God knows how many times seed 1 faced seed 3 in Wimbledon semis, etc.
Not a single game or tournament can be unpleasant when we reach top 8. Everyone has a shot.
I think the first game is a good example of which can be improved in TvZ.
In fact, even if he s holding the strength of reynor army, Clem can t get a benefit even if he destroys an hatchery in red (which has been damaged a lot). Because Reynor army is in tense flow and his bank stabilized, Clem has no interest in remove an hatchery after 20 min of game. It s a problem if you can t click on something as big as an hatchery.... At this time, Clem has more interest to kill 5 or 6 more zerglings than destroy the hatchery

Naniwa at best is 2nd placed. He never won premier tournament (TL tier) Neeb same thing, only won Kespa cup, then only good against non-Korean Huk only won back when in early days when Korean stepping into international tournament, and quickly disappear the following year
