Sure, but the kinds of players who are competing at ACL for a shot at getting into the group stages don't play tournaments for "points". I'm pretty surprised to see this system being defended when two really strong players were knocked out in the open bracket, when they could potentially have topped a couple of the groups in pool stages.

If you had control of how seeding was done, how would you go about doing it?

Constructive criticism is great, but suggestions and ideas are better!

I'm no expert on tournament seeding, but when there's a huge bracket **** up like we had this ACL, you should re-generate the brackets. Pretty stupid when you have players like Blysk coming in from Singapore to play and then having to deal with some of the worst bracket luck. Some people (Baldie included) would probably argue that this is subjective, but it's honestly common sense. Why would any tournament throw its big name dedicated players under the bus for a couple of (no offense) no-names who got there simply because the brackets were seeded in a stupid way?

Sorry but it's not making sense to me, maybe I'm just dumb and it's fair that some of the biggest names in SEA had to fight through one open bracket and some of them fell while a couple of mid-master players got through on the other bracket.

ACL VaNzR:

Agree SEA could be incorporated more, but for ANZ players.... No sympathy really.
