What's the logic behind the top seeds and the regular seeds? How/Why were the players selected for the top seed qualification group? It all sounds a little convoluted.

Why is MKP in a group if he already qualified... Other than that...

The upper seeds were probably decided by each eSF team selecting one player from their team to compete in it... Seeing how you know, there's one player from each of the 7 eSF teams...

and you didn't read the entire post. It clearly explains why there is a top seed group and normal seed groups...

Fixed. Thanks! Does Madbull have another name as well? I couldn't find it on TL. other places say that he is NSH.madbull, but not 100% sure.
