Thanks for the all the hard work guys. I always look forward to the group selection ceremony summary, and the analysis of new maps.

Group D is so lame. There's a reason you have seeds in sports. No one wants to see someone from Group D go out in groups.
Lee Jae Dong proved that a focus on mechanics and execution could solve problems in the StarCraft game strategy.

Free is just awesome. That comic makes it just so much funnier. I'm just sad that he is in a group with FBH and Stork so I can't really root for him.

Good article.

Pretty convinced Bisu is getting out of his group with 2-0.

Bisu will advance because he can beat Sea or Jaedong on any map.

Swanized: re. Monte Cristo a couple thoughts.

First of all I tend to think it's the 3rd gas that really matters for Zerg; lings on one base, mutas on two, Hive on three. Of course, bases 4 & 5 are important when we get to the mid-game -> late-game transition.

Still, I think what you're overlooking is that Zerg will probably take the third base in a corner (similar to SCR or HBR in this regard) once muta/lurker are out. Let's say that Zerg is on the top left: if he goes to the bottom left then as long as he's got decent map control that's a nuisance to assault and a fourth base along the side sort of just "fills in" the gap. If he take the top right, the island expansion is pretty much ridiculously safe and the 5th/6th bases will be on the middle-right plateau.

Honestly just looking at the map I'm more worried about PvZ because I feel like a forge FE will be a weak sim-city here and thus very vulnerable. Meh.
