Maybe I shouldn't be so annoyed because you cant really blame Hydra for playing to win but at least one massive fan group is going to be mightily disappointed.

Preparing for another lame msl final.

Group D looks terrible for both Sea and Jaedong because Sea rarely does well in individual leagues and he's up against 3 of the best players in BW right now; and Jaedong because Bisu and Flash are playing better than he is at this point.

Jaedong will go into rage mode and advance np.

Man, you people are complaining a lot for the fact that

A.) Hydra is playing to win. The guy is hardcore.
B.) We are going to get to see a bunk of TBLS games very, very soon
C.) 2 of them are going to advance as a 1 and 2 seed, meaning they are perfectly positioned to meet in the finals if they play well


Brackets are rearranged @ Ro8, so no guarantee they'll meet in finals.


Yea, not to mention Fantasy is #1 on KeSPA rankings now, so Flash and Jaedong would meet in the quarter finals if Fantasy makes through which looks like he will from his group.

So basically... instead of having the 3 best players duke it out in Bo5s we get to watch everything ride on one game... Odds are we will have BvF, JvF, JvB... so at least we get some sick matchups? lol

Edit: As much as I hate this Group D thing... actually has made the MSL all the more interesting this year. When was the last time this happened?

Hydra's probably my least favorite progamer -- he already won an absolutely terrible MSL and now he's doing his best to create a second completely awful MSL.

Yeah, he only beat Jaedong, the ZvZ tyrant, in a Bo5. That's not impressive at all. It's not his fault that Bisu, Stork and Flash didn't deliver. Yeah, Flash and Bisu would have probably beaten him, but Hydra was a better player overall that season, because he showed strength in all matchups, whereas Bisu and Flash showed weakness in the mirrors. Hydra was a well-deserved winner.

Just because you ZvZ lucked your individual title doesn't mean you can fuck with BW. I'm now an anti-fan of Hydra. I hope he gets mauled by a bear or something.

What a bunch of QQing babies here.

Group D looks interesting, they will have to fight to stay in the MSL! I think that's smart to use your "power" that way.

hehe.

you're just mad because you know jaedong is going to get squashed

people outside of tbls CAN produce great games, and there's no certainty that these guys wouldve faced eachother in a bo5 anyway. at least you get to see them play at all

Yesterday Sea tweeted he was thinking about military service. After group selection he tweeted again that he's really thinking about it.

I'm actually disappointed that Jaedong requested his group be changed during the selection ceremony. The Tyrant of old would have gladly accepted a group with Flash, Bisu, Stork, Boxer, Julius Caesar, Genghis Khan, and Muhammad Ali in it. He would never have shown fear towards any opponent.

Wow Group D stands for Group of Death for sure.

Also poor Horang2. Getting award for worse dressed and a group with no Protoss
Group C:
(Z)ZerO vs. (Z)HyuN
(T)RuBy vs. (P)Horang2

Guess he'll really need to show he can improve at PvZ or he's out and if that's not bad enough Ruby and Zero are really good.

there are no girls here... You guys are sooooooooooooooooo gay!

Although, on a more serious note. This MSL is not going to be good unless Flash goes out in the group stage(not likely). I mean Hydra just threw flash in with my two favs .

Also, I don't know about you guys, but I've been wondering, why did hydra not switch himself down to the other side of the bracket to get an easier path to the finals? Since it seems it might be rly decided in the semies... Just saying. (not entirely sure how it works so if I'm wrong plz correct me)


Just because you ZvZ lucked your individual title doesn't mean you can fuck with BW. I'm now an anti-fan of Hydra. I hope he gets mauled by a bear or something.


Also its not that it was ZvZ, its that the only map that Hydra seemed to be better than Jaedong on happened to be played first.(I know Jaedong lost game 2 on Benzene(I think) but really that was just the luck of finding JD's overlord first, he just ended up supply capping him for the win)


Also, I don't mind Hydra at all personnally just I think the map order kind of rly was in his favor in last year's semies, therefor since I am a HUGE Jaedong fan, well he'll have to show a little more than a better mastery at triathlon. But I do hope Hydra lives on to become the next master of Zerg, since its my main race.
Being mannered is almost as important as winning. Almost...

1 - He couldnt be moved, he was a top8 seed. At most, he could have moved people away from his group. (maybe Light would have been a good choice for that?)
2 - There's no real "other side" of the bracket after the group stages, ro8 gets rearranged according to the current Kespa rankings.
BW fighting!

Yeah, because to show that you are the best is enough to win a BO1 against the top players?

JD is not scared of anybody, JD have never said anything like bisu and stork once did "i would like to avoid JD/Flash".

Im pretty sure JD knew this group is going to make a shitty MSL, and he needed to say it out loud.
