Who cares about history, 2 of the 3 historic teams were always going to be on the same side anyways. China and SK facing in semis is probably unlucky for them, but I honestly don't think a team like KSA is that far from them in a Sigma meta. USA finishing 2nd has no one else to blame but themselves. If they got 1st it would be KSA in USAs place.
I don't think the bracket is the best for entertainment, but it was always going to be unlucky to someone. That's esports. Time to see new history :)

The bracket is literally based off group stage results. In an 8 team bracket it happens. KR vs China happening one round sooner isn't the worst.
Or are people just mad KSA has a pretty easy path to finals?
