ìt feels fairly arbitrary that the group stage ties were concluded as such with no prior information as to what would happen in the event of 2/3-way ties, wouldn't it be better if there was a playoff to see who would advance? especially seeing as we have something like 3 days from now till the ro16

I acknowledge this was an error on my part for not disclosing the way 2/3 ways ties would be handled but given the time I had (+ I was doing these brackets at 2am in the morning), I made the best choice I could. If GGMuse and GGBinu would consent to have a 3 way playoff, I am fine with that. If not, my decision stands, sorry.

I am putting you 16 in the Challonge system then hitting "shuffle". Then I was just swap position 1 for aLtOxygen and position 2 for inF with whoever is taking their spot.

Yeah, i saw that and it was really weird. It should be 2 pts for a win, 1 pt for a lost and no points for an unplayed match. When I did the brackets for Rof16, I took into account your actual points, not the ones Challonge reported. Its my first time using their brackets but if you still think you should have qualified based on your points, let me know and I'll take another look. Nothing is set in stone yet

If you were 1-3, then your points should be 5

No sorry. Qualifiers are held on 22nd. I know its rough and I am REALLY disliking this group stage system I am trying out for Jan. I am sorry but it was an experiment. For SSL Feb and esp. SSL Mar (which should be over $1000), this will be ironed out. Essentially SSL Jan was to test group stages and qualifiers over seperate dates. Obviously, it is totally failing.

Won't happen again. Qualifiers and finals will revert to a single day after SSL Jan. In the meanwhile, so sorry to those inconvenienced by this group stage system.

Sorry for the inconvenience :O

Sigh.. I totally forgot you know. Thanks for bringing it up. I did the brackets late and wasn't thinking. Even now, I just got off the plane and I'm already doing this. Let me check the brackets again and reply

So does that mean that I should have qualified? I'm still a bit confused about this, but thank you for helping clear things up a little.

Yes, that would place you not as 4th in your group but as 3rd. However, you need to be top 2 in your group to advance. Sorry
