Brackets already merged and Krause was knocked out earlier this morning.
Who said skill only matters in practice?
Any idea how much he won?
Probably not much. The prior events were very top heavy in the payout. Last 64 probably pays less than $5K.
But I think international players like Mickey probably get free entry, hotel, transportation etc, so whatever he makes is probably profit.
The flyer in the first post shows the payout amounts. 33rd-64th places all got paid ¥20k, approximately $2950. Coincidentally the same as the US Open, where 33rd-64th paid $3k.
they redraw each round?
Super interesting to me. The unknowns. Like a James Walden from yesteryear.
doesn’t look like it, the order of matches corresponds with the previous bracket page.
i haven't watched much but i assume top half is favorite, with wu jiaqing, chu bingjie and big ko?
also is there a match clock? would be interesting to know the rules, and also what kind of chinesery they have there at the score stats. i assume one of them is BNR
Two of the Quarterfinal matches are being played now. Ko Pin Yi trails Chu Bingjie and Wu Jiaqing leads Xue Zhenqi. Losers receive about $22,000 US, winners go on to $44,000 for 4th or a lot more after that.
skogstokig -- if you go to this video and open up the text below the stream (where it says "more"), you can find some of the rules. The text also shows the time limit, which is 210 minutes for the current matches (started 3+ hours ago). Refs keep track of the time.

thanks. i guess it was time clock in wu's match, he had like double the score. advances to semifinal
dogged the bank. that was an expensive miss goddamn. $22k or a chance for 1.5 million
I've never seen Ko so stressed and frantic at the end there.

Ko is remarkable, if he can go toe to toe with Chu Bingjie then he is essentially at or damn near close to that upper tier
same thing with Wu reinventing himself on these tables
these tourneys have been tough to follow, i have been skeptical that the draws are somewhat tailored to which alot of the non chinese ( and pool players and fan favorites) get easy paths to the latter stages , could be wrong

Post match interview with Ko about how it feels to lose a heartbreaker like that:
No, your right - they do favor mixing in international players for viewership. Foreign (including Taiwan and Hong Kong) players get to skip directly to the stage two draw, which skips a large chunk of the tournament. It both incentivizes participation by foreigners and reduces the chances of a monotonous final stage.
