Seeding. Winners get easy opponents.

Taking the problem from another angle, anything else would be unfair to him given how the standings are. #1 vs a player at the bottom of the directly seeded players ?

Maru is #1 seed. KR points are worth more rn bc they're through less of the season. Also the reason solar/gumi are invited over lambo/kela
Reynor has fewer EU points (427) than Coffee has Asia points (455), so Reynor is a lower seed than Coffee I think and that's why #1 seed Maru was matched against him. Which doesn't actually reflect skill of course, but outcomes like this are inevitable when you have three non-KR regions with very different skill levels. Giving fewer EPT for winning Americas/Asia than Europe sort of addresses this issue, but clearly not entirely.

He's not always the first seed. In IEMs 2022 and 2021, he was only the 3rd and 4th seed and most would agree he got the weakest group in both those years. In Serral's first ever win in an event with Koreans he got the weakest foreigner in the first round.

But he won the Event with the koreans so the first round doesnt matter

The bracket is due to seeding and points. It’s not that complicated.
Why are Maru fans complaining lol? He is on the easier side of the bracket than Serral

Lots of butthurt Serral haters on this thread lol

Or they are preaching for their own favourite region (whether Asia, Europe, Korea, NA), which is making the bias bound to happen ah.

Every round of an event matters. Advancing over top players 5 times in a row is a lot more impressive than 3 times.

I UNDERSTAND you dont want to RIG brackets
But we get Koreans vs Foreigners in legit tournaments maybe 2-3x a year
And yet more than half of the bracket are FvF or KvK
Like I hate it so much
its EVERY time

Please tell me you are not talking about GSL vs. the World '18, where Serral won 3-0 over Kelazhur and immediately after that destroyed Inno with the same score...
But just to be sure: Just we from now on check for every player how they advanced through a tournament, just to check if their wins are "impressive" enough?
