Also, I like how "randomly" Boxer ends up with a complete joke of a group.


Boxer will lose to both HongUn and TheWind, you'll see.

I like the groups. GSL 3 was obviously set up to provide the most entertaining matches, but at some point it appeared really...."designed"....as if the tournament was indeed pre-planned.
Now the groups are "terrible", but in a good way, if I make any sense at all. Completely random, some hard groups some easy ones, some with many mirrors some with few, some with teamkills incoming (MC vs Inca vs Nada will be awsome³), some with many different teams - I like it.

Genius having to play against the "easy" rainbow again after the fail in GSL 2 will be interesting.

thanks for this! wow group D has Brazil, Germany, France, and Argentina. group of death!


I am interessted which one is which one?

I dont like to see so many players of one team in one group (like oGs in group F, B or C), things like this end up in situations where you either eliminate your teammate or trade points so you both can advance. They should have had a system for their picking where teammates cant end up in the same group.



hehe

Tester is Brazil - The tried and tested player.
Kyrix is Argentina - Messi like ATTACK!
Choya is Germany - Superb FF DEFENSE
and Rain is France - Anything for a win. Cheesing and head-butting, all is fair!

Rofl at France comparison, perfection.

wow thats so weird, i did my own mock drawing with 4 pots (1-8 = pot #1 etc) and got idra and jinro in the same group. I laughed at the time and wondered what gom would do if that happened. looks like i got my answer. to be honest I kind of like it this way, we have yet to see 2 non-koreans play in the GSL, could be cool.

Group F is a little overkill. Why the hell did they put 3 oGs members in 1 group

It's called random.

Also with both IdrA and Jinro in the same group...anybody realize that this increases the chances that one foreigner makes it through quite heavily?

I love the fact that people are whining over the groups. It shows that people really care and want what's best for the players (and the most entertainment value).

But as I just completely love mirror MU's I couldn't be more happy.

Following that analogy, Idra is England.

The media talks about how awesome he is and how he's gonna go far, but when he gets knocked out early everybody starts talking about how overrated and predictable he is. =D

I agree but it is a bit annoying though. But people have become fans of some certain players so they care a lot and want the best for them.

But this is the S league the highest level or consistent of the GSL players are there. So naturally there are going to be many upsets.
Some groups have players who could potentially be finals worthy and there are 2-3 (this is just a random number) in each group so people are already going to be disappointed that 1 won't make it through to the 2nd groupstage.

But still Bo1 with high level players. It is mind boggling but also going to be very tense to see what they will show out of their sleeve.

Had to put the two foreigners in the same group, huh?
Probably just as bad to be in group F with 3/4 being teammates on oGs

And then he talks in his "jolly old England" accent and rips on the people who beat him. =D

Even though oGs has the teamkill, it guarantees at least 2 of them will pretty much go through...unless Sanszenith pulls the most greatest and most annoying upset of all time.

This is a little ridiculous. It's like they were angry at people accusing them for rigging the brackets to avoid mirrors and teamkills, and so they ensured the Code S tournament was going to be all mirrors and teamkills.

I really dont get this anology. He got 2nd in IEM, 1st in MLG NY or wherever it was, and the only foreigner to qualify for each GSL, and even finishing as high as top 16 once, and never lower than 32. How anyone in their right minds can call that overrated I have no clue.

is there any seeding in this? It looked for a moment that the top 8 from S3 were all in separate groups, but group D has (T)Rain and (P)Choya and group E has none...
