Sixteen players participate in a double elimination bracket, with four players advancing on to the RO24 group stage (two from the upper bracket, two from the losers' bracket). The group stage is played out as a round robin, with 3 players from each group advancing to the playoffs (#1 players from each group get a one round bye).

It seems like seeds worked out that way, probably because they get a similar amount of points being in their regions | ||

Would be nice to see some success from herO and Creator. I agree! Especially herO - he's the one who I think could actually make it pretty far! Otherwise, would love to see Byun and DRG make it out as well! | ||

Honestly, none of these players are capable of winning the whole thing, thats why they're in ro36, because these players simply dont win.... but herO is best of them all | ||

The reason is simply because the 'peak' of all other players for the past 1-2 years is crystal clear - not good enough to win consistently against the top 5 players (Serral, Maru, Rogue, Reynor, Dark). Also, I believe the seedings will place them in tough spots even if they do qualify to the next group stage. The only way they can pull a miracle run is by bracket luck or the top players suddenly all having a bad day. Hero is still improving since returning from military. His previous peak is quite high - maybe not top 5, but at least top 10. Chances are, he'll never re-discover his old form. But there are some promising signs, such as nearly defeating Maru in ST. Still, I rate his odds of winning everything around or over 100-1 (starting from this round onward). | ||

The lower bracket is harder though and I gotta be pulling for DRG to get out of there. I think he can make waves in the main tournament, there's at least 10 players I'd favor him in a Bo5 with. So dark horse pick for me here is Percival making it out of the top bracket. I'd say it's a long shot but I don't think Byun is as favored there as others do. | ||
