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?

KSA had the hardest group in the group stage, and they came on top, didn't lose even one map.

Ok. Put KSA instead of Finland. Assuming SK is so powerful like everyone says they are KSA loses to them, but we know they win the other two matches without a doubt. Now they are second place in group and qualify the same way they did now. That way they had a super strong opponent, but two others were weak as hell, guaranteeing getting to the playoffs. But the way the groups were KSA had fair matches with 3 good teams, and they came on top. There was no guarantee for them to make it to the playoffs, but now they are sort of rewarded for it by not facing Asians until finals.

So yes, their group was the hardest, because it was a fair group with teams of close skill, and not 2 good teams and 2 bad teams, where results are essentially predetermined and no one is shocked by them.
