That's not a good pick by Where/Miso as now I'm pretty sure Flash will rather swap Snow than him.

On the other hand, he beat Snow in their Ro24 group so maybe that was what informed his thinking.

Flash will swap snow with something easier like shine, he always draws for the easiest possible group he can get and snow is good vs terrans

Yes, that is what I am saying too. So Where/Miso is stuck there which I think is not what he wanted.

Maybe group D will be full of protosses at the end... but shuttle would have to pick effort, dont think that will happen

I am impressed by Flash's strategy, picks the only other Terran first because he knows Mind will pick a weak Zerg, making it almost 100% certain there won't be a Protoss in his final group. But I find it strange that none of the others picked Miso or Shine so far.

This protoss/zerg fest sucks because it makes players who can barely zvt like shine and hero able to go far, hence making it super easy for flash once again because he has a high change of facing them later on. We need flash to face the likes of effort/larva/stork/jaedong, not zvp snipers... I'm getting pessimistic again but the exact same thing happened last season and I called it at the beginning that it would be hero vs flash in the finals after the group selection... :/

Someone please change my mind

How can someone change it? all the real contestants are always trying to be macho and make groups like group C, then someone snipes the survivors at the eliminations and flash plays vs hero and shine for the title

If Larva doesn't make out of the group because of these stupid ZvZs, I am gonna be salty as fck. I want him to finally play against Flash in official match.
Be the change you want to see in the world.

I would actually be happy if Larva and Shuffle don't make it out, because both of them are responsible of creating such a retarded group, especially Larva

Why is it fun to allow flash to make an easy group for himself and put his true rivals in tough groups? I'll never understand why this group selection process is a good thing for the tournament.

Maybe you should pm larva and ask him to stop acting retarded. Not kidding, this is getting ridiculous, I also want to see larva vs flash in an official bo5.
