I get the JD switch(because zvz is tricky) and i get the terran choice(easier to prepare) just dont get why he went for JyJ, also not sure what are the exact rules? He cant switch first picks.He also want a T. So the options are JyJ,Royal and Light. SK,Rush herO,Bisu SnOw,Mini Stork,Light | ||

A: SK/Rush B: herO/Bisu, but I could see JD making it out instead of Bisu. C: Rain/SnOw (assuming Rain's PvP is back on point... if this were any other group I feel like he'd be out) D: Sharp/Light (Stork was lookin good but ngl it's hard to trust) | ||

In response, Sea threatened Soulkey to make a group of death that would include Jaedong. Soulkey picked up Sea first anyways. In the next round, when it was Sea's turn to pick the third member of the group, Soulkey offered to give him "his power" to make the last change in the group as long as Jaedong didn't join their group and stated that he didn't care if anyone else joined. Sea liked the offer and they made a pinky swear (lol), apparently in part because he liked the idea of having that "much" power. Sea picked Rush, however, Rush picked Jaedong anyways. Soulkey had the power to move Jaedong away if he wanted anyways, but also seems like Sea was actually grateful to Soulkey so he honored his part of the deal and swapped JD away. | ||

Jaedong's vZ is his worst matchup according to ASL stats At least in the old Kespa era, JD's zvz win rate was close to 70% if my memory serves correctly, and was leading the 2nd by a wide margin. zvz by nature is highly dependent on opening, so SK would want to avoid any zvz (JD or not) if he could. | ||

Group C is brutal, but about as good as Rain could've hoped for. Same with D, looks really tough for Stork but also he'll be decently happy he only needs to prepare for PvT. Predictions: A: SK and Rush B: Hero and Bisu C: Snow and Mini D: Light and Sharp | ||

Interesting JD was picked so late. His form must be pretty good atm. Well actually, its not. I have been watching his stream for long time, and while his form at the beginning of August was interesting and promising, the last 3 weeks were a total decline. Even his matches during the group competition were far from good. This decider match vs Shine was actually played badly by Shine rather than well by JD. Shine did not take advantage of the fact that he had a spore in both bases and instead of destroying JD's economy, he allowed him to set up a third base.. Anyway I really cheer for JD, but I think he is causing fear because of his unpredictable nature and experience mixed with hype, rather than his current shape . Here are his stats from 29 July till now, in ProLeauge: vs p W:8 L: 9 vs z W: 6 L: 7 vs t W:7 L: 9 | ||

I booked a trip to South Korea in part because I wanted to attend SSL once in my life and had assumed that Groups A and B were going to be on September 18th and 19th as it said on Liquipedia. Now it turns out they're on the 23rd and 24th, when I'll be gone. Oh well, win some lose some. | ||
