so basically, even though I was higher seed at first, and even though I won all my games... I'm now lower seed than xray..
hmmmmmm makes sense
w/e, we'll play this week-end I guess, or something
I know what I am doing, trust me bro. I just doublechecked for the unlikely case that I made a misstake, but of course I didn't:
You were fifth Seed, which means in a tour with 8 participants you are the last seed after Round 1. (See
here)
Since basically every new round can be treated as a new tour, anyone with a seed of 2^n AND 2^n+1 with n being a natural number higher than 1 will face the #1 seed before the finals, because at one point he will be last seed for the next round (assmuning both winning every match of course).
The number used for n also displays the round they will face. If n=2 (which means your seed is 2^2=4 or 2^2+1=5) you will face the first seed in semis, if n=3 (8/9), it's quarters and so on.
It does not matter how many participants you have, because at one point they will face each other, even if it's not just 64 but 128, 256 or even 512.
The point of this system is that in the case, that the higher seed wins every match semis are 1vs4 and 2vs3.
But since xray and Aurious eliminated the #2 and #3 seed (and you eliminated #4) they "overtook" the seed of the eliminated player and are therefore now higher seed than you are.
If this explanation doesn't satisfy you, just check the Round
1,
2,
5 and
8.
If you are not able to figure that out by yourself: Image the rows of pairings being seeded again for the next round with the first row being the highest seed and the last row being the lowest. This inevitably leads to you facing McMeghan.
Also if you don't see it yourself:
In Round 1 McMeghan played the lowest seed: #64
In Round 2 it was the winner of #32 vs #33 (n=5)
In Roun 3 it would have been the winner of #16 vs #17, but #17 lost to #48 in round 1.
This leads to you as opponent in semifinals.
