But doesn't change the fact that if you look at the brackets during regionals for group A:
rapha qualified straight into top 8 so he gets a high seed, wichtl and cooller qualified in bottom 4 (losers bracket) so hence get a low seed.
in group C: whaz and clawz qualified both in top 8 respectively and voO qualified as a low seed (runner up tournament).
so in summary: group A has 1 high seed and 2 low seeds, where as group C has 2 high seeds and 1 low seed, so technically voO's group is harder.
At the end of the day, look, I am also a fan of both cooller and rapha and it sucks having them in the same group, but it's just way it is and I don't think its unfair, it's just unlucky for cooller.

hahahahaha
Cause we are Russians )
If anything this is all av3k's fault :P
top two from each group advance? cooller and rapha will both go thru even if the last slot is Evil. Evil would get screwed in that event.
look out for Raisy. He's come from outta nowhere and could be a big surprise.
