I think Japan, Korea, China and Taiwan should be seeded tbh, Poland is imba too.
Actually a better solution would be to use either Double Elimination or "Swiss + playoffs" rather than Single Elimination.
This is an absolutely fantastic idea. The current brackets are ridiculously unfair. China vs. Korea in the
first round? Whichever team is eliminated in that match certainly does not deserve to leave the tournament so early.
This will lead to more matches, and I don't know what sort of logistical problems that might present, but I think it is worth it to have the best tournament possible.
Edit - responding to KRZY, I have absolutely no idea how these things typically work, but what is good about Lybydose's suggestion is that matches need to be added, but no matches need to be changed. Lunah said that teams could still add players, but could not remove or change them. Similarly, making the tournament double elimination adds matches, but it does not change existing ones (well, it might depending on the format of the double elimination, but hopefully not).
Anyway, this doesn't seem like too much of a hassle. But I'm probably just a naive optimist.
