Using the points system for GSL isn't very telling, since it gives such a high bias for winners. Try something like 5 pts for winners, 4 pts for finals, etc. I know someone already did one, but he didn't factor in performance over all 3 gsls and consistency.

Group looks good, although with the team overlaps it might end up with some player forfeiting a game in order for his comrade to advance. Which obviously is the better tactical decision but not nearly as exciting as a real game.

Players with good chances of advancing:

-IMmvp: Terran loves zerg
-Kyrixzenith: Not the hardest group and good matchups for him I think
-LeenockfOu: Same as above
-LegalMindZenith: Granted I dont know him but protoss loves terran

Players who will have a hard time advancing:

-IMNesTea: 3x terran = game over
-oGsNaDa: 3x protoss = game over

From group H anyone can advance really.

Also, really hoping idrA makes it farther than he has in the past. He really deserves a win.

Can't understand why don't randomize the groups but using a method that could provide less mirrors and team kills!

there's 9 protoss, 9 zers and 14 terrans, why would there be a group with 3 protoss and another with 3 terran and 3 zerg?? that's stupido imo

Idra and Jinro in the same group also sucks.. hope they make it tho!

First people complain that the setups are rigged because they aren't random. Then they randomize and the results are as expected: clusters of same races, etc and people yet again complain. Maybe before complaining on things like random maps and matchups people should educate themselves on how random works.

groups b, f and h are very stacked. im kinda torn about the draw. jinro vs idra is great to see, but its unfortunate that the chances are high that only one of them makes it out of that group.

I'm sad that Jinro and Idra are in the same group. Random definitely failed GSL4 but oh well, will surely be some interesting matches.

I sure will enjoy the ZvZs, and I'm sure protosses will enjoy the PvPs. Now that there actually ARE PvP matches, people will be forced to practice them and be creative...as in finding new ways to get collosi faster =D

Oh? just because two foreigners are in the same group and probably only one will make it out makes GSL 4 fail? Please don't watch it then.

Sucks for OGS as they dont have a group without two or more ogs members/liquid members

I don't know about that. oGsEnsnare has achieved just as much as jinro. Also, CheckPrime is a pretty good early game player, something Jinro has shown to be his weakness.
