Optic could have avoided this by beating Xerxia the first time tho.... can't say if they could have beaten Liquid..but that's how the brackets are drawn...I would say that they should implement a system in which regions don't go against each other.... dunno why they haven't
biased seeding would be an unfair way to run a competition. This is just tough luck but the possibility of it is very necessary. They already have region based separation at the start of the tournament but that is the best they can do.
