Group D is the group of death
Wasn't entirely clear to me which matches will be held on which day, but I think I've pieced together the schedule:
Saturday 16 Jan, 13 GMT: eight group matches (BO3)
Sunday 17 Jan, 13 GMT: four matches between the winners (BO3), four matches between the losers (BO3)
Friday 22 Jan, 15 GMT: four decider matches between players with 1 win 1 loss (BO5)
Saturday 23 Jan, 15 GMT: four quarterfinals (BO5)
Sunday 24 Jan, 15 GMT: two semi-finals (BO5) and one grand finals (BO7)
Are the quarterfinal matches pre-determined? (eg. Winner A v Runner-up C etc...) I couldn't see it anywhere.
I like the approach considering that the brackets are semi-random anyway and no seeding could be screwed up by this.No, they will be randomly drawn as a winner vs a different runner up.
This is to prevent a player from potentially deliberately coming 2nd place to get an easier match up if there is an upset in their corresponding group.
Top 4 players are all in different groups, were they seeded?
The Lord will have a tough time beating these guys :DView attachment 188232
Poor DauT, will be a tough group.
And would be nice to see BacT and Vinch go through as well.
And MbL please take a nice revenge on Capoch.

Well, I would say group C is "Group of death"I don't quite like the "Group of death" here per se. There're just 16 of the best players, and I think none of the 4 groups are too easy.
They are using Capture Age for whatever reason, even though over past few weeks it was commonly rejected by most casters for being buggy, having sound issues, looking super weird..Whats wrong with the official stream? The game looks so weird =(
Has nothing to do with resolutionAre you guys watching on 1080p?
Coz I saw Spaden complaining about the colour. For me it gets muddier with lower resolution.Has nothing to do with resolution
this CA like clearly has some issues with stuttering, even shadows(lower shadow res, bigger transparency?), which contributes to the entire visual side of the stream feeling uncanny

I understand that for some people this is less noticeable and less of an issue than for others but yeah, for me personally it's not easy to watch.
