LOL @both of your comments!
I have a feeling they'll put Barrett, Schilling and Marcus in the same bracket to try and secure at least one North American in the Final. I can see either Pereira or Stoica being the 4th name in that bracket as they're probably the weakest links of the lineup.
Schilling VS Barrett II might be a win-win dream final for Glory, but I don't think that's likely to happen so I can see them taking one North American in the final over none.

Wiki have this bracket:
Levin-TBA
Schilling-Marcus
Manhoef-Verlinden
Barrett-TBA
I'm guessing Perreira gets Artem and Barrett gets Stoica. In my perfect world, this would set-up a Manhoef-Levin/Marcus (I dont mind which) Final.

Of course, that is if what is stated above is accurate.

It never makes sense to me when matchups take this long to be revealed.
The event is in a good two weeks and we don't have a full card yet.
How do they expect to hype this AT ALL to casual viewers?

Also, I didn't know this but it's a few days old now, Miguel Torres is indeed out of the FW Contender Tourney, replaced by GLORY.8 FW Grand Slam competitor, Marcus Vinicius.

Yeah, when this was announced I had grand visions of an even grander draw (ala the one they had and never repeated for GLORY.3, must of cost a bit) for this tourney but as you wrote it's 2 weeks left and only 1 officially confirmed QF. The fighters must know by now, surely.
Imagine the VTR's (I feel a bit odd writing VTR in relation to GLORY, almost like I'm committing a crime as VTR is 'proper' K-1) for the tournament if it was planned in advance.
Could their be other reasons afoot for this lack of announcements, like GLORY having trouble getting certain fighters to commit to their place in the draw? If so, if in doubt.....RANDOM DRAW!

Verhoeven’s latest comments did not escape Ghita’s notice. While Ghita is a fighter who likes to isolate himself from distractions as fight night gets closer, he wanted to make some counter-points to Verhoeven’s comments before going into isolation.
“Rico says I am an old man. Why has he taken six months to recover from a hand injury? We were supposed to fight a few months ago but he said he was still waiting for the injury to heal.
I had a really bad leg injury going into the Glory 11 event in Chicago, the doctor wanted me to pull out, and recently we saw Peter Aerts tear his calf muscle in the first round of the fight but continue to the end. This is what real fighters do. I am well trained and in good condition, so in Los Angeles we can meet in the ring and see who the champion really is.
After Los Angeles I am going to London for my next fight. [Ghita laughing] It will be with [Glory chairman and majority owner] Pierre Andurand. He has been training hard recently.
His background is in oil trading but he has some good kickboxing skill also. He’s a heavyweight too. He laid down the challenge so I’m going to go to London and we will go to his gym and meet in the ring for some fun.”

With the third quarterfinal being revealed as Barrett VS Stoica, we now know the full matchups.
Manhoef VS Verlinden
Schilling VS Marcus
Barrett VS Stoica
Levin VS Perreira
We don't know the exact order yet, but I expect Schilling VS Marcus and Barrett VS Stoica to happen in the same bracket. That should ensure one North American making it to the final as I don't see Stoica making it far in this tournament.

Also, the PPV will be a whopping $34,95 which is fucking insane.
