And that doesn't even matter. If they're truly the best player, they can beat everyone, so it doesn't matter who/what race they face. | ||

Possibly but then you would have rigged groups accusations which no doubt will come if this happens. To make sure there aren't any accusations on GOM they made it public and fair. As you could see on a screenshot of past pages you saw IdrA and other players attending the draw which was based on GSL point rankings. This is fair and will prevent of any rigging groups by GOM. | ||

having more than 1 of each race is more likely to lead to at least 1 of that race from that group surviving, leading to a more interesting Ro16 and above, instead of just having the later rounds be dominated by 1 race. just my 2c though. | ||

The Ro16 u mean 2nd groupstage right? Although that is a groupstage consisting of 16 players :p Seems that line implies u think it'll be a single elimination and if ur not then my apologies for this comment and disregard it then :D | ||

Also, how were these groups formed? Random method or what? I'm asking because there are a lot of groups that will be team members vs each other, and that's not cool, because it tends to lead to some freaky mind games, which not a lot of people like to watch. | ||

Looks like they seeded the top 8 players into seperate groups then filled the rest in randomly. | ||

This makes sense. I personally like this as it creates widely differing fields and any other method involves peoples judgement or favouritism in either direction. Looking forward to it... | ||

As for the groups, completely random like this with only seeding the top 8 (which are basically the GSL finalists + hongun & ensnare) is the best way to do it. Placing players by race, team or nationality would be fairly rediculous. Placing by race would mean alot less mirrors and though many might like to watch those they ARE simply a part of the game. THe underrepresented races (P & Z) would basically never face a mirror in the first rounds then which would make it easier for them and it would be a bad way to conceal real player skill. Placing by team would be even more stupid as being in a great team would be too advantageous then, for example if you were in ogs you would automatically evade about 7 players then, playing in a team should never ever give a direct advantage like that. Finally placing by nationality is silly, it's 90% korean and 10% foreigner anyway. There is no good reason to not let the foreigners run into eachother really. | ||
