That guy is fearless, finding himself in the same groups as the season 4 winner he adds the season 3 winner. Balls of steel, a true fighter deciding to gun for the top players right away, that is the marks of a God of War alright.
Hope he makes it out of the group.
this is so true. Hats off to July for showing great courage.
July the sniper! Lol a lot of courage...I guess he thought to himself: If I cannot beat these guys, I shouldn't bother! Nice! I hope he 3-0's that group!
So why did July pick ogsmc?? lol. Was he forced? Or is he set out to get revenge from GSL 3!! And fruitdealer should make it through, he only has to practice 1 matchup which is a great advantage. I believe tester or genius could go either way, but if i was forced to pick i would probs go genius .

Nah, it because July has Balls of Steel, or he is insane, either one :D

Actually, GOM has changed the format; first of all, theres only 1 group stage now, and 2nd, you can never meet anyone from your group before the finals.
So as far as I remember, A1 will be on one side of the bracket and A2 on the other.
As it should be. Every tournament in the world uses this concept, except last time where it was possible to play the same guy from r32 in r8...
I translated what was posted on Korean SC2 forum PlayXP. Mind you though what has been posted on PlayXP is also a brief version. But for those of you who wants to know what happened bit sooner (before John finishes the translation) here it is.
Group A : IMMvp -> oGshyperdub -> ST_July -> oGsMC
IMMvp : I will eliminate one Terran as there are many of them
July : I wanna make this group as fun as possible (after being picked bit late)
July : When I lost I got a big shock. Since this group is already a hard one I want this group to be the death group (after picking oGsMC)
Group B : EGIdrA -> TSL_Clide -> oGsZenio -> ZeNEXByun
IdrA : I chose this group to avoid TSL_Trickster and oGsMC
IdrA : (After choosing Clide) I enjoyed having games with him last season and I want to have another fun match.
Clide : I would have picked IdrA if I was a seeder as well. I thought I couldn't put up a fight I could when I lost to him so I also wanted to play him again
Clide : Thought about picking oGsMC but I gave up as he's too strong oGsMC : (replies) Please pick me. I do not wish to team-kill. If you pick me I will pick anyone you want that is not oGs.
Clide : I also do not like team-kills happening in the same group. So I chose a Zerg from oGs (after picking oGsZenio)
oGsZenio : I really wanted to play with IdrA so I appreciate Clide for picking me. I will thank him by choosing another Terran player. (Before picking Byun)
oGsZenio : New maps are pretty decent for ZvT so I chose a terran (after picking Byun)
Group C LiquidJinro -> PoltPrime.We -> ST_RainBOw -> CheckPrime.We
Polt : I lost to Jinro before but I was playing SC2 while studying for school. This time I won't go down that easy.
Jinro : Ok, just please do not pick a protoss. (To Polt)
Polt : Having another Terran would be helpful to practise. (Picks Rainbow)
Rainbow : I thought It would be good if a group contains all Terrans and now it is looking like that and I'm glad. I've improvised my style for TvT so don't underestimate me for how I played before.
Check : I asked Rainbow to pick me. I want to beat him before I serve my military service.
Rainbow : I was actually going to pick Byun but Check asked me to pick him and even his interview says that he wants to play with me again so I picked him.
Group D oGsNaDa -> TheBestfOu -> HongUnPrime.We -> oGsTop
NaDa : Appears Naive and innocent.... (reason for picking thebest) TheBest : I'm honoured. I started to play Starcraft because of you.
HongUn : As far as I know thebest is 1st ranked in the ladder and he is playing really well not to mention NaDa is amazing. I will try to build a career like them in this group.
HongUn : I didn't get to practice with new maps much so I will pick another terran to ease up my practice. I've been bad with TvPs lately and I will try to get my confidence up (Picks oGsTOP)
TOP : I doubt whether you can get your confidence back, I will show HongUn a new play of Terran.
Group E IMNesTea -> sanZenith -> SlayerS_BoxeR -> oGsEnsnare
NesTea: I picked Group E to avoid MarineKing and IMMvP. I want to have easy games to I chose sanZenith.
San: He is right about me being easy. I don't wish to get up that far. So I will choose the strongest player for Nestea. (Replies back to NesTea)
oGsMC : Pick me. Would I be a nuclear bomb in the group? (Says to San as he thinks about who to pick)
BoxeR : I don't know why he picked me, I hope I can get through in this group. (After being picked)
San : I couldn't see a player who could defeat NesTea but you.
BoxeR : I don't think San can beat NesTea either. Ensnare and TheWinD owes me a favour (as he chooses Ensnare), I helped them to take photos with SNSD.
Ensnare : I was going to thank him for picking me.. but I don't know what to say because he mentioned about SNSD photos.. I'm lost.
Group F choyafOu -> FOXLyn -> BanBansZenith -> oGsTheWind
choya: Lyn has a nickname of Sin(=God) when others don't. So I wanted to play him (after picking Lyn)
Lyn: I'm rather sad. My name was missing from GomTV website and my nickname was misspelt. I think my reputation in SC2 scene is small. I will try harder. I am improving lately so you can count on me for a fun game. (To choya)
Lyn : I chose BanBan because we lack in mutual friends so I probably won't have a good chance to be a friend with him.
BanBan : Not a bad group to play TBH. TheWinD : I've been in Code S for a very long time now somehow. I will try my best to play good games.
Group G TSL_Trickster -> anyproPrime.We -> NsPGenius -> TSL_FruitDealer
Tester: After how I watched him play in GSL January I thought I could beat him (after picking anypro)
anypro : I did not want to play PvPs... I am bit down for being picked anypro : (after picking Genius) I've talked him few days ago and we agreed not to pick each other but since there are 2 protosses in the group already I've picked Genius)
Genius : (After being picked) Group A~D seemed easy so I was hoping to get in there. Now there are three protosses if there is any protoss left over I will pick the protoss.
Inca : (Genius asks him if it was ok for him to pick Inca) I actually like PvP's but I do not want to play them on new maps. I am not ready yet.
FD : (when Genius looks at him) I will buy you any dinner you want, please don't pick me.
Genius : Foreign fans wanted to see me play with FruidDealer at BlizzCon so I picked him (after picking FD)
FD : I didn't want to be in because Tester is in. Tester : You and I could advance together I would think.
Group H MarineKingPrime.We -> ZeNEXKyrix -> sCfOu -> oGsInCa
MKP : I wanted to play Kyrix. I thought he wouldn't be able to come up to Code S but he made it
Kyrix : I am sure that guy doesn't like me. I will make him regret.
MKP : I don't dislike you. I only wanted to play with you.
Kyrix : (after picking sCfoU) he's also terran like MKP and I think I can beat him.
sCfOu : Kyrix is still at an amateur level. sCfOu : (picks oGsInca) I wanted a good game with protoss so it's well picked. I haven't played protoss on new maps tho.

That's awesome to hear, Jinro. Wasn't looking forward to groups A, B & C wiping each other out so quickly. Good to know! Though I don't think they've posted anything in English about it.
EPT

group.. and the 1
