Anyone else find the seeding and subsequent draw for the Wandering Warriors Cup to be a little off.
If you look at the 4 brackets of the draw:
- First bracket has 4 widely held top 4 players (Daut, Villese, Jordan, and Liereyy), with two who are seen as current top 5 (Jordan and Liereyy)
- Second bracket has 2 top 10 (ACCM and Vinchester), and Capoch hovering around the top 10 too.
- Fourth has 3 top 10, all of whom are commonly seen as top 5 (Viper, Hera, and Yo).
That leaves the third bracket, and just Tatoh who is commonly seen as top 10 among these players. Don't get me wrong, Sitaux, BadBoy and Project Belgium are outstanding players, however the only one of those three who could been seen as hovering close to the top 10 at the moment is Sitaux, and BadBoy bet him fairly comfortably. Although BadBoy has improved out of site in the last 6-9 months!
It just confuses me how the fourth bracket has 3 of the very top players, and the first bracket similar with the other 2. Jordan being drawn with Liereyy (who is a toss up for number 1 or 2 in the world at the moment), despite a host of top 3 results for Jordan himself, seems rough. Whereas, comparatively, Tatoh (and even ACCM or Vince) get much easier runs to the semis. To only have the chance for one of Yo, Viper, and Hera in the semis is a bit disappointing, and I know Hera and Yo haven't been at their best but they have still be performing consistently at a top 5-8 level.
The seeding doesn't make a lot of sense to me personally. Does anyone know where the seeding for this tournament was done from?
