    Lol, how come unicorn is the top seed? And how come I'm suddenly Czech? And kingo too?

    Makes no sense..

    Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown
    Unicorn (CZ) - 25 pts
    Krye (CZ) – 20 pts
    Kingo (CZ) – 20 pts

    Unicorn top seed? I'd recommend Krye, Kingo (European Results), Ryan Hart and Jide (Both top 16 at Evo) myself, but whatever. You gotta beat the best to be the best.

    If there is to be a seeding i do wonder how it's being done. The most reliable method would probably be to just ask on this site tbh.

    I don't really care about top seed or whatever, as long as some players don't all end up at the same half of the bracket. Using the list unicorn wrote down earlier, those players, in two categories, would be (imo, going by results and personal opinion):

    Category A:

    Me, Ryan Hart, Kingo, Jide.

    Category B:

    MarlyJay, Chibitox, Mister, God3l, Unicorn and erdraug.

    As long as these are split evenly amongst poules/brackets there shouldn't be any problems.

    It would be trash if we somehow end up with one bracket with, for example:

    Top bracket: Me + other players

    Bottom bracket: kingo, Ryan Hart, Jide, MarlyJay, Mister, God3l, Unicorn, erdraug.

    This could happen with the current seeding. Maybe we should send an email or something.

    I talked with one of the organizier and now it is fixed. Also i linked this topic to give an idea on how the seeding should be done. Hope this helps.

    Well, it is posted on WGC pages and every refgistrated participator received mail where this was specified ;)
    Unfortunatelly they took the "seeding tournaments points" method instead. And as nearly noone cares to register the results of their tournaments... Well, it looks how it looks.
    Our national FG community too it very seriously, so I register for them all tournaments they give me results for. Result is... well, not representative.

    And to be honest I am surprised nearly noone cares to register their tournaments for seeding points. Esp in games like SF, I expected people to be more serious about WGC, but... well... Most organizers care obviously. BTC Paris included :(

    I know feck is coming and also staying with ash kaiser in a rented flat. Don't know about seidon but this topic is kinda invisibile to most people who are coming. Would be nice to have some feedback to know who's coming to the event.
