You could say using it is a.... double-edged sword

well, I don't agree.
Snute's group has one player I would consider "weak" relative to the rest of the player pool in the tournament. Most of the other groups have 2 or 3.
Snute's group also has 6 players I wouldn't be super surprised making top 2 in a group. The other groups have 3 or 4 such players.
edit: nevermind, take 1 away from all my numbers, uthermal is playing protoss. (wtf?)
anyways still think it is a tough group

Thats what we call a triple-edged sword.

I think you're seriously overestimating a just unretired FanTaSy, a Protoss uThermal, and PartinG. PartinG might have qualified for Code S but if you see him play, he's clearly not back anywhere close to his old level. Anyway, I guess we just disagree

I didn't notice uthermal playing protoss made an edit there.
and I consider fantasy to likely be the 2nd weakest player in the group
Parting I think is perfectly capable, however. But - you may be right - I could be off about how good parting is.

Have the tie breakers been detailed somewhere?
I feel like this group ends with: Lambo 6-1 Harstem 5-2 Stephano 5-2 Zest 5-2
|
Zest has the best map stats if it comes to that.
|
Definitely think Inno, Snute, Zanster are top 3 in that group. Parting/Patience are also up there, but the group isn't that hard imo.
|
Yeah i think Snute should be able to easily make top 2 in this group. Patience is always a wildcard and could either stomp or crumble. the remainder of the group (besides Inno) is extremely doable for Snute.

Should just be head-to-head to determine tiebreak

Zest has to beat Inzane and Clem, don't count him in quite yet.

that clickable vote on the screen is really nice

People who play Swarmhosts against Protoss are willing to engage in cannibalism according to Snute.

The question is if they go to map score to determine 2nd then look at head-to-head for 3rd and 4th or if they just seed by map score.

I gotta say, round robin format with large groups like this is amazing and refreshing. Love the quantity of games and the fairness to the players who traveled far to compete.

+ Show Spoiler +Zest has to beat Inzane and Clem, don't count him in quite yet
Zest's pvp and pvt are a lot lot better than his pvz

Losing the warp prism and having lurkers set up in that choke seems like game.
