Is it just me or does GOM literally hate both oGs and foreigners?

There are nine members of oGs/liquid distributed among just four of the eight groups.

Two foreigners in the whole tournament distributed among...one group...

Edit: it might be time to get out the old college stats texts and do some tests to see just how "random" this is...

They divided out the top 8 from GSL 3. That's the only requirement they have for the grouping. Why not put the foreigners in the same group? If you put 3 oGs in the same group, they have a definite 1 member moving on. The best players will move out of group stage, no matter what group they're in.

Every group looks very strong, but I guess that's why they are all Code S.
I'm very excited to see how this goes.

There is a RO2 or RO4 finalist in every single group, so that leads me to a conclusion that it is seeded somehow.
srsly

I prefer a random selection, where you sometimes get unlucky (group F, group H) to a selection where some are picked to be lucky.

What I think could be changed, is that players are chosen from a "race-pool", so that we get to see similar match-ups in every group . (no Z in group F&G, no P in group A&B&H)

I like seeing the "unlucky" draws which force players to really come up with special builds and new strategies innovative strategies to to deal with potentially unfavored race match ups. they are the best of the best so lets see them be the heroes we expect them to be and walk through the three opponents of the same race.

I do hope that Jinro and Idra come out of their group. We've got to keep the the white guy credibility up in the SC world.

my opinion

Group A
nestea should advance
second place is a toss up

Group B
Fruitdealer and mvp are the 2 best in that group, but fruitdealer could throw it away and mvp is not way better then the rest for him to be a sure thing. I think dealer and mvp will advance but this group could be a toss up.

Group C
boxer should win it and id guess hongun will get second but wouldent be suprised if someone else got it.

Group D
I have no clue. Not sure if rain is good or just lucky.
if i had to guess something il go with rain and krix

Group E
toss up between genius leenlock and rainbow. any of them could win or any of them could be 3rd.

Group F
oGsMc will advance or the world will stop spinning.
nada is probably the second strongest player here but i don't know much about the other 2. nada will almost certantly loose to oGsimmunetoterranMc. so it will be harder for him to advance.

Group G
marineking advances(second most sure behind Mc)
the rest i just don't know anything about. i heard clide was sapose to be good but all he does is get eliminated in the first round after getting hyped up. so second place is a big toss up

Group H
Jinro advances
the other 3 are a toss up.

It's a stratified random draw. 1 slot is for 1-8, 1 slot is for 9-16 and so on.

They probably want non Koreans to eliminate each other. Korea sucks at everything but starcraft, so they probably(although would never be admitted) want non Koreans to not win. Also, the Koreans who made predictions said idra and jinro will likely be eliminated by checkprime and ogsensnare(people no1 cares about) Lmfao. Total discrimination. I hope jinro and idra wreck those brackets and that Ret gets into code S.
