Really hope Ret and Mana win so they play each other.

Mana wouldn't pp a match with Ret because he said there was no chance he could win, lol. I hope Ret gets some revenge!

Edit: Don't know why i double posted, went brain dead. Please delete my above post if necessary.

Good draw for Ret imo!

vs sen in QF? ^^

as I see it, lower side of bracket is hardest comptetition

my favs in upper side is idra and white ra facing it up

while in the lower side there is mondi, brat_ok (whom im really excited to see how he will do), ret, sen and draco (wonder about the form of draco)

so ye, lower side is more intense for me

edit. forgot to mention koll and terran too. well they are up and coming, but i dont really see them do too much in this TSL, is still too early for them to brawl with the big guys. might have to eat those words tho. and would gladly do so. need some new blood ^^

edit2: its not that nony or JF r bad, just expect their inactivity to be decisive against the likes of idra and white ra

think is a good draw for idra. though he did mention once that he is aware when facing white ra, though he still usually wins

edit 500?: then again, any draw is a good draw for idra -_- and mayb white ra would be the one who has the best chance of stopping him? so finals... idra v ret, sen or brat_ok. dunno what i think bout tvt finals tho

How can it be Bo5 and Bo7 Finals?

is it a Bo7 Final

and a Bo5 between 3 and 4th?

Nice at the potential IdrA VS NonY and then maybe IdrA VS White-Ra and then a potentially nerdgasm ret vs idra

Ret could potentially only have to play ZvZ the rest of the tournament.

On a off topic note, this is thread number 110000

im really glad there r no bo3s in the tournament, so nobody will be able to win with double bunker rush -_-, though tripple bunker rush is still possible o_O

and i guess is nice when finals looks different from rest, and bo7 kinda gives message to MSL and OSL that yeah, u guys have bo5, but TSL is EPICNESS. though they prob dont care much -_-

kinda surprising the pairing system, this way #48 in the ladder could be #5 seed, while #12's only aspirations are to be #16, seems weird

anyway, this tournament is going to be really interesting, keep the good work guys

Don't see them as separate stages for the seeding. The seeding starts at Q1 with 25 vs 48 which has the highest ranked player of Q1 (Horror #25) against the lowest (#48 Nemu). The winner of this match plays the lowest ranked in Q2 (Kenzy #24) and the winner of this plays the highest ranked player in Q3 (#1 Nony). The winner of this match plays the 5th lowest ranked player in TSL Ro16 (because of JF, Brat, Draco and Idra) which is group H.

Re-seeding was an option but we feel that puts too much emphasis on original ladder rank, ignoring the theoretical strength of the qualifier groups you had to fight through.

With things like this there are always arguments for both sides. We feel #48 beating Nony and being seeded against the #1 in the next round is not the better option. It is comparable to the #120 beating Nadal in R3 and then facing Federer in R4 due to re-seeding the players according to original rank.

yeah i can understand that. i wasnt bitching about it just pointing out how surprising it was for me at first

any bracket in the TSL will produce a high number of interesting matchups so fans are happy with anything ^^

It's the way you make any standard bracket. You pair the players always assuming the higher seed advances while always giving the highest seed the easiest game per round. Mathematically, this means the sum of every game's seeds should be the same for every other game in that round. That's what we did.
