This time we have decided to announce the full tournament layout beforehand and not do any sort of random draw during the tournament. This way we hope to compensate the fact that the group stages are played on the same day, and thus leave little to no time for players to prepare for their individual opponents. With the double elimination groups there should be no real risk of intentional losing for the sometimes more attractive second place, especially when the groups are all played at the same time.
