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.
