I understand what your suggesting Benji - but I want to see the Open bracket more than some of the pro-bracket. Sure it's great to see Light v GLaDe (as you've suggested) but there are other matches in the Open bracket I want to see also. Furthermore, I want to see the big 'stories' of the day powering thru open bracket surprising everyone then performing in the pool play (ala yang and Gold Coast or JazBas at Sydney). Moreso, I want to see the un-sung hero's and players I don't always get to see streamed in tournaments. Everyone deserves their time in the spotlight on streams, don't just reserve it for the tip top best matches.

Finally, if Open bracket players are picking their group for pool play - Ideally, there should be no group stage games played, at all. If the pool is mostly completed the open bracket players gain an even stronger advantage in picking their group based on the results already recorded. Now while I understand this is absolute best case scenario and not always attainable - it may be possible to play group stage games during the open bracket but not release the results until after players have selected their group.

Regarding the groups - I would love, love lovee!! to see GSL style group slections, top 4-8 seeds pick their group, then pick someone to join them - who then picks someone till everyone has a group, would make for some great rivalries and hype for the matches!..

other than that - I love you work ACL and Dox..
