Hmm I think Vortix could beat forGG, and I missed the games but he took one off of Supernova, so he could make a good run. I doubt elfi or Kas can beat viOLet or MC and neither of sLivko or SortOf is likely to beat Mvp.
Still hoping to see the brackets changed, IEM made a mistake. Nr. 1 and 3 from the same group can meet in quarter-finals rather than semi-finals (Vortix & ForGG; Elfi & Bomber).
It is easy to fix. Simply swap:
Vortix & ForGG with Slivko & SortOf
and
Elfi & Violet with MC & Kas
That way you avoid the situation while keeping the players finishing 1 and 3 from each group in the same bracket half.

how is this a mistake? you have to have either the 1/2, 1/3 or 2/3 of each group in the same half no matter what you do

I think the brackets of the IEM have alwalys been drawn randomly lately (what I completely approve) with the sole exception that players from the same group cannot meet in the first round of the playoffs. So the danger of matchfixing gets reduced to a minimum. However, this is not mutually exclusive with what you pointed out. But I don't like a random draft being swapped around afterwards.
Elfi has suprise potential, his PvZ is not that bad. Though, I doubt even if he can make past violet, he will not be able to beat bomber. I also sense Vortix beating ForGG, but Supernova will prevail in next round. Supernova beats mc with a score of 3-1 in the final.
