After the first season, there will be seeds, but this was the most fair way to do it this time...even if it lead to some unfortunate groups. I am suprised they didn't draw similar to the way they do in the World Cup. Where they don't allow more than one team from each region to be placed in a group together. (except for Europe where no more than 2 teams pre group) So that each region has a better chance of getting past the group stage. I realize Jinro is European, and Idra is North American, but due to the lack of foreigners at this time it would be nice to lump them into the same category. That said they both still have a chance to advance, and being in seperate groups may not help them, however it would be a real shame if more foreigners make it into Code S and 3 or more foriegners get placed in the same group. | ||

I think he was just off for these particular Code A matches, I'm pretty sure he's better than what he's shown here today. Well, I hope so, anyway (will find out soon enough) Anyway, looking at the groups, Group H is pretty damn scary. Ensnare, Check, Idra, Jinro, all these players are very good, close in skill level, unlike most of the other groups where there are top level players mixed in with much weaker ones. I predict Idra advancing (taking a game off Check and one Terran), and maybe Ensnare? I like Check and Jinro too though, so if they end up fighting for their S-code I really hope they don't end up fighting a code A I care about, like Ret (Jinro v Ret fighting for S would be awful, lol) | ||

I know that was his only win of the day, but he was being extremely annoying with those tank/thor drops. Strange, he looked really impressive that match- maybe he really didn't want to lose to a foreigner? not wanting to lose to a foreigner suddenly works magic huh? The power of wish, if you want something really really hard it comes true... sigh It's something I've said before, and I hate sounding like a broken record, but people around here refuse, JUST REFUSE to give any credit to whoever the liquid guys are up against. God forbid someone have a nice map specific strategy and executes it well... it musta have been some kind of vodoo thing, he wished he didn't lose to a foreigner and voila, it happens. | ||

If he does very well in the lesser half (Code A) tournament, he'll have a chance to play his way into the upper tier (Code S) for the tournament after that. | ||

Hrm, you misread his comment. He was giving MaruPrime credit (see: "really impressive"), he's just surprised / confused as to why he played so well against Ret, because he lost to everyone else. | ||
