Instead of raging at Great and Hydra for putting Flash, Bisu, Jaedong and Sea in Group D, it could actually be more enjoyable. Think of how many Starleagues we have gone through where TBLS+Fanta+Sea have not met each other because one or both players dropped in the group stages. What Hydra has done is guarnateed that Flash, Bisu, and Jaedong would play.

Sure, a BoX between TBLS would be better than a single match. But a BoX is not guaranteed to happen in a Starleague between TBLS. So instead of the choice being between a BoX and a single match, it becomes the choice between the possibility of a BoX and a certain single match. While arguments can be made for both sides in that case, I would at least prefer a single certain match.

If there is any reason to rage at Hydra, it would be to rage that he essentially has weakened the level of play in subsequent BoX's, for his own certain benefit. This is a valid argument but at least we have the certainty of watching Flash roflstomp play Bisu and Jaedong play Sea.

***
Jaedong beats other players. Bisu beats other players, in PL. Flash beats Starcraft.

I like the hype behind the leadup to the best players meeting up in a BoX series. You root for your players to win so they can play eachother, but not only do we have fewer games between flash, jaedong, and bisu, but it seems contrived and forced. Because it is.

Most people are raging because their fans of the players. Imagine if your favorite player got stuck in that group of death and was at risk to be eliminated early on.

Yeah, true, part of the reason I'm so calm is because God's head to head record vs each of these players in the past year has been fairly stable lol

This was one of the funniest MSL group selections I've seen, LOL. The way the players were reacting was hilarious.

I wholeheartedly agree with you. People always whine about TBLS not meeting each other, and now we have 3 of them facing off, and what do we get? More whining and QQing, of course! Fanboys will be fanboys. I personally am excited and hyped for Group D of Death. It will be epic. And there will be many more fanboy tears.

I think that's what makes stuff like this so entertaining.

Nothing better than fanboy tears.

How many actually make it out of one group? One or two players?

If it's one, I feel bad for Jaedong already.
Always smile~

Should be two.

Would be better if the fourth player wasn't Sea, but an up-and-coming rookie like Reality

If he could have, he would have. However, since Stork was a seed, he was fixed in his spot.

I would've loled even more if Hydra switched Bisu with Fantasy with his last switch.

Hell, I'm a Flash fanboy, and the first thing i did when i saw the groups was burst out laughing. This will be great, and there's plenty of talent in the other groups to ensure the MSL is still good.
I cheer for underdogs and Flash

All I can say is THIS WILL BE ABSOLUTELY EPIC!!! Tbh, I know that not many people are giving Sea a chance but if Sea beats JD in the first set, and bisu wins first set, he could win a TvP vs bisu (TvT vs flash is ridiculously low winrate :D)

I don't need luck, luck is for noobs, good luck to you though
