So far: 6 T (Clide, Byun, Jinro, Lyn, Ensnare, NaDa) 3 Z (TheWind, Check, July) 3 P (MC, HongUn, San) In the remaining groups are 2 terrans, 4 protoss and 2 zerg, I think MarineKing(T), Kyrix (Z), Tester and Genius (P) are probably most likely to advance but as we saw today anything can happen : ) T_T too slow : ( | ||

Oh of course, somehow I always forget that. Glad you mentioned it though. I thought Nestea and BoxeR were stuck in the same group, scared at the high chance one of them would be knocked out... Looking at group G, realized it could get pretty crazy. I'm actually afraid anyproPrime will pull a SansZenith and end up taking out Fruitdealer or Tester... crazy upsets this GSL. | ||

I don't see how you think fruit will get out of his group. His ZvP is very messy, and he's been on a decline since GSL1. Combine that with new maps, and he is not the favorite at all in his group. Unless he got his act together and really busted his balls to practice instead of snowboard like he said he will. | ||

Good point... Plenty of GSL champions are going to be in the up/down matches it seems. | ||

1: MC vs Byun 2: Jinro vs Hongun 3: San vs TheWind 4: TBD 5: July vs Clide 6: Check vs Nada 7: Lyn vs Ensnare 8: TBD After that it's winner of 1 vs 2, winner of 3 vs 4 and so on. That means we can get Jinro vs MC in RO8, Jinro vs Nada in Finals, July vs Nada in RO8 for example. | ||

On the other hand this is probably the best time for someone like Jinro to take it without fearing NesTea AND MVP. Only obstacle is MC in the ro8 when Jinro wins his ro16 (I'm sure of it!). | ||

I'm not sure if this is how it will work, but unless GOM does something special with IdrA's place he can be chosen for a group, meaning that the winner of code A can choose someone and they will both be guaranteed to move on. That could mean someone can choose MVP, Nestea or Boxer to get a game vs them and still get auto into code S. | ||

The other 2 NesTea and MVP both demoted to up and down matches will make this an easier path for MC to take this season :D This season was truly a slaughter of champions. On the other hand this is probably the best time for someone like Jinro to take it without fearing NesTea AND MVP. Only obstacle is MC in the ro8 when Jinro wins his ro16 (I'm sure of it!). Jinro can quite possibly get an all protoss path up to the finals. Hongun in RO16, MC in RO8, San in RO4 if the stars align. | ||

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." This guy is the biggest troll in the entire world. I think he must secretly by moot. | ||

Am i forgetting about any game? San went colossi a couple of times IIRC (I recall at least the last game against Ensnare). But then again he mixed up his army really well in that. | ||
