Haha IdrA in a group with both Cliiide and Zenio, delicious. First group looks pretty tough, feeling good about Jinro's chances in his group though. Bit worried for FD however and curious what'll happen in group E..

Aww man another 2 weeks? How can something so short feel so long (and then feel so short again after)?

HYPE.

Edit: Those player comments are hilarious btw >< Nice atmosphere.

I hope Idra wipes the floor with zenio. If idra loses I suspect there will be loads of rages - which might be amusing too.

Hmm..... well it seems Idra got a nice draw, he should take that group easy.

Jinro should make it out as well, atleast there wont be any foreigner vs foreigner matches in the first group stage!

Lol! The drama, it is delicious. "Please don't pick me, I will buy you dinner". Picks FruitDealer anyways.

Jinro looks like he has a fairly easy group, as does IdrA. Looking forward to them both getting past their groups. At least it's nothing like the MVP/MC group lol.

I like this type of group selections, makes things a bit more interesting. Thanks for the player comments on their group selections, wish I could watch it. The last two GSL Champions in Group A should make for an interesting group. Can't wait for the next season!

I actually liked the fact that there were two group stages. I feel like now good players will have to knock out eachother earlier

btw Jinro's chances to advance out of his group seem to be quite high

at first I thought this type of matchmaking was retarded, but this made some of the matchups a lot more interesting. I mean some will take the boring route and pick an inferior for an easy win, but there will be a few who will spark some tense competition for their match. well done gomtv!

i think it's awesome that the players were able to pick their groups, it adds for a lot more drama in match ups!

I have faith in the swarm. July will totally take his group. Its all part of his master plan. He sandbagged it in his up/down match to make himself look bad, but really he is going to win it all.

July is my pick to win the gsl.

MVP and MC? God damn that's a tough group. Choya's group is weak. IdrA can win his group. Jinro should win his. Boxer's group might be tough, Ensnare's not bad. I think MKP will take his group easy. I think FruitDealer can make it out but I don't know which Protoss will go with him. TesteR and Genius are both good. I'm interested also to see how Code A guys will fare.

All I can think when I look at the groups are, "God damn. What did July do to deserve this soon-to-be-massacre?" Just made it into Code S and it looks pretty bad for him making it out of the ro32.

Also looking at the matchups I'd be really stunned and disappointed if IdrA didn't make it out of his group.

someone should have told July this isn't MSL selection group! Iron and MVP in your group may have been decent back there; here he's gonna get slaughtered!

Haven't seen these many trolls since the Lord of the Rings trilogy! Idra really brings out the best in people doesn't he?

Jinro and Idra have good odds of advancing, Boxer and FD are looking dicey, and Choya couldn't have come up with a better group if he had been group fixing... should be a good tourney
