Hehe, they will be back for the Group Play round! No, seed will not be used to reconcile any ties.

Oh, then how are you going to reconcile cases where two people are both 6/0/0 in their pool? For example.

How can two people go 6-0-0? If two people go 5-1 then I look at just head-to-head. Only thing I'm worried about are 3-way-ties but for now just hoping it doesn't occur haha.

I think that it would be great and less random if 2 best from each group would play a best of 1 match.
When you look at the greater number groups (20+) you may notice that there is only 1-2 higher rank players and the rest is just clever-gifted without a big chance to compete at all.
The point is that in such situation, when you add lack of best of 2 etc., two top players meets in single scenario - one starts as P1, the other as P2, 1single map, no play-off and so on.
I understand that we have many participants and there's a lot of work with the tournament, but such circumstances adds too much randomness imho.

Yes I understand the system now is not the most ideal, and that is because we are quickly trying to reduce 230+ players down to 32. The original system would have taken top 2 of each group but that was with 144 players max, we didn't account for this many players.

That said, your scenario unfortunately doesn't change anything, it just shifts the advantage to the losing player. If two players tied with a score of 5-1 but Player A originally beat Player B (supposedly because A had an easier matchup based on map/player order), then you are proposing one extra take-all game be played where the advantage is now given to B? Do you see the problem with that?
