A better way to seed brackets would be? Im new to LANS so unsure. And would SEA be better?
Its not hard to do a good bracket off an opinion based system. Just seed the players who are really good. Using something like px weekly is odd because if you look at somebody like Deth they will never play in something like that. Then you end up with something like Deth vs Pezz round 1 which is silly.
SEA is way better, I don't think any ISP's have bad ping to SEA anymore, you get like 50-100 less ping most of the time to sea.

The point is that this is a pX event, so they are encouraging people to play on their offline event and are rewarding people who do

I get that, but by 1 good player not playing in the px weekly, it ruins an entire bracket. Imagine someone shows upto a LAN, gets knocked into the lower bracket first round, then hits the loser of Pezz/Deth (hypothetical ofc) lower bracket round 1.
As for Optus still being shit ping to SEA, i'm sure MC wouldn't be using optus... if so, just switch to NA
