So in about 24 hours, I believe they are going to have the ASL5 Ro16 Group Selection Ceremony. (As soon as group F is done). I think this ceremony is sometimes more fun than watching the players play actual games. Who do you guys think will steal the show and be the nost entertaining? For anyone that doesn't know why it is worth it to watch the ASL5 Group Selection Ceremony, it is kind of like half the Hunger Games and half the Olympics opening ceremony.

The players are introduced and the players pick their opponents. So you get to see the brackets while the players choose them live. There is also a lot of drama as sometimes the players that don't like each other talk smack. It is really good to watch this event if you are new to watching professional tournaments like I am. Enjoy.

Ro16 Groups
Group A:
Flash
Mind
Where
Shine

Group B:
Hero
Best
Stork
Snow

Group C:
Larva
Jaedong
Shuttle
Effort

Group D:
Rain
Action
Movie

My prediction is that everyone is too scared to pick Bisu.

His point stands, I think.

The most interesting thing to watch for will be, as usual, the choices Flash makes. He has some tough competition this year, though, at least on those maps. Rain and Snow are a pain in PvT, Larva is tough too, he himself said that he's wary of Hero and I'm under the impression that lately Stork has his number on Third World. I watched a series between the two and Flash looked pretty miserable.

So in essence, Flash has stolen the show already. The other seeded players will be interesting to follow too, to be sure, not to mention Larva can still be hilarious with his tough guy stage persona, but if a player has won the same tournament three consecutive times, many eyes will be on him. It is inevitable.

Flash is going to pick MisO first. Ideally he will try to have only Terran and Zerg opponents. His last pick will be actioN.

Larva will pick Shine first. That would would make "his failure complete".

I think his decision might change if he knew what round of 8 maps were. If sparkle was discarded after group stages, it may change who he wants to play against.

I dont think that any map is going to be discarded, they'll just add the 4th one and go with it

Its FlaSh, TvP is his least confident match up. In both ASL3 and ASL4 he got only Zerg and Terran opponents in Round 16.

Also FlaSh is more nervous about round 16 than 8 and after. Best of 5 is when FlaSh is most confident. He will continue to play round of 16 safe.

I think Larva and Shine will be great fun to watch. Too bad Mong is not there with them, and Ssak will be missed too.

I'm sure Action, Best, and Shuttle will talk a lot too, they are all very funny guys.

Honestly looking at the players and the maps, this is a Zerg tournament to lose. Should be either Flash if he pulls another one of his bullshit amazing play or a zerg
