That's what I thought when I looked over the format, it really does seem like it has any significance, the top seeded player in the pool might get puma in the bracket, it's pretty pointless. Seems like filler
That's exactly what won't happen (presuming Puma doesn't bomb out in r16). Pretty sure they'll play out the open bracket, and 1st place in groups will play 13-16 in open, 2nd place 9-12 etc.

im not surprised, he isnt practicing in the ogs house anymore, i alwhlays said i thought his skill would decline with EG, part of the reason he was getting so good was his practice in the team house (in fact id say thats the main reason) practicing on your own (even if its online with your korean buddies) just isnt the same as sharing a teamnhouse as well as strategies with some of the best players in the world.
Look at hero, if huk was practicing with hero these days his ZVP would be on another level, probably would have been able to deal with stephano even.
HuK has not left the OGS house since joining EG... EVER.... aside from going to tournaments
Really that is quite surprising, although he had just transfered to EG at the time, i think he was under the impression he would be leaving when he didn the interview with carmac.
