Do they get kept out of each other’s way until a potential final if they’re grouped here?

D for death? Brutal group! C is strong and seemingly even, too.

Group A seems like SK and Light will proceed, but Barracks and Scan can upset in TvT.

Group B is much closer than I have seen people say it is. Speed has had Jaedong's number for the past year and a half. It is going to be toughest for JD in this group because Jaedong also doesnt do super well vs Best. Sharp is hard to gauge because he can perform really well on stage, but it doesnt always show in online play. He is difficult to place because of it. Anything can happen in this group and it is a group of great uncertainty. Chaos group.

Group C has the same issue as Group B. Everyone is really strong and in good form. Rain looked weakish in the past months but He recently beat Speed in a best of series and seems to have his act together again just on time. We will have to wait and see if he actually brings it on stage. He is the hardest to place in this group because its all PvZ or PvP, and I dont have much data for how he has been faring vs zerg recently. Bisu, Action, and Queen all look like they are in great shape. Bisu looked shaky in Ro24 but since his return to streaming he has look great.

Group D is the ultimate group of death and doom of all time. Snow best toss for years now. Mini when he peaks he is almost the best. Rush has always been a solid solid performer in these match ups. HerO lools super strong and better than ever.

Everyone asking why SK put Light into his group, I think the main reason, he only has to practice ZvT for the ro16 now.

Edit: maybe this too

I'm not really familiar how these last picks go though, could he have last picked any one to his group? Like Sharp? (Maybe less of a threat in ZvT than Light right now idk)

Hoping for some non-terrible PvZs that go the distance. So much potential in this matchup, I feel. Just gotta get past the groundhog day early game and into some reaver-defiler goodies.

Always rooting for Mini. And this might be the season of Speed. Can't wait!

It is hard to predict anything with a bo1. For all I know, aside of SK group, it could go in any direction.

Group A: Poor Scan. Realistically Soulkey and Light will go through but I pray for Scan to pull off a miracle run.

Group B: Speed is looking so good recently so I am sort of expecting him to get through, but I'm rooting for JD all the way.

Group C will depend on which Rain will show up. If it is the lazy ass Rain that prefers playing league or watching university over taking proleague seriously, then I'd rather have Bisu and ZerO go through instead.

Grpup D: I root for Snow but dude has the odds stacked against him. Maybe him and Mini will go through.
