My other piece of feedback is to really try to maximize interactions between the different games at ACL. I thought it was awesome the way the FIFA finals really drew a crowd, because it was right at the centre of the event. But with the Starcraft, LoL and Smash all being off in separate rooms I felt there was a bit of a disconnect. I for one would have loved to watch some LoL and Smash if it was made really clear to everybody at the event that a big game was happening.

Agreed on both points, would have been cool to watch some smash but I completely forgot it was going on.

Two of these players came from Bracket A and two from Bracket B.
Pigeon and Frustration, from arguably the 'easier' bracket placed 3rd and 5/6th respectively. Obviously they were capable of taking the pro bracket placings they won considering they beat a bunch of 'pros'

Look at the next two players from each bracket. MK and I managed ~50% winrates in groups, and only barely eliminated Blysk and Fighto - they were both knocked out 1-2 1-2 by some combination of david, iaguz and I. Runamok and South qualified dropping only two maps between them and went 0-5 in groups. Not trying to be mean here, just trying to establish that I really don't think you can seriously refute that the brackets were stacked - the argument should be about whether or not ACL points are a fair way to seed.
