Random Bits of Stuff:

Jinro trolls.reddit link for more info
Killer's coach did not want him to pick a Terran
NaDa picked MMA because he wants a challenge. It's the mindset of a champion to keep pushing.
You know you want to pick NesTea, Ensnare. After Clide was picked, he looked like he just "woke up".
LosirA's hair is darker. What is with that RED?
Noblesse's 2nd time being grouped with Mvp.
Puzzle picked Bomber because he thinks he likes macro games. "Poor brave man..."
Bomber does not want to play against MarineKing.
MMA picked NesTea for the fans.
NesTea thanks MMA for picking him. (revenge?)
asd picks Zenio. (rematch for revenge)
GanZi wanted to pick NesTea. He thinks MMA wants to be the center of attention. Picks LosirA.
LosirA isn't afraid, says it's his time to win a championship.
DRG taunting TaeJa "how can anyone lose to TaeJa?".

First time ever I won't be able to watch this live. Without MC around this time to troll everyone I don't think it will be as entertaining as usual. Hoping for some fun groups of death at least. MVP pick MMA and send him back to code A!

dunno why u want group of deaths, they just make the tournament worse as it goes on since all the good players just knock each other out in the group stages and u have mostly no brainer matches later on.

It's cool bro. MVP 1/1/1'ing MC out of Code S wasn't enough?

I feared MC all the time cuz he would make stupid picks thinking he has 100% chance of advancing but then loses and all the favorites/champions get eliminated early, and then you have stupid finals (NesTea vs inca) or TvT galore.

Tl;dr. I am happy MC isn't going to be screwing this season. I want a good Blizzcon GSL finals.

I feel the same. For me, the best part of last GSL was MC getting 0-2'ed in his group to the up/down matches after his cocky (and with hindsight, extremely stupid) antics at the selection ceremony. It was made even better by him falling to Code A.

Hoping for some good picks so that the better players all advance and meet at the latter stages of the tournament.

I'd rather watch Nestea kick the shit out of Inca than TvT.

..
I'd rather watch bw vods from 6 years ago than live TvT. I'm just sick of it.

Jelly of whoever gets to watch this. Actually an awesome part of the season. Odd day to have this on, they should wait just 1 more day and make it a friday! (Though I already have enough to watch Friday with AoL and OSL finals >.>)

Watch what you wish for. MMA might send MVP to code A.

MMA beat MVP in the Geforce tournament recently.

MMA won their last BO5 in the Geforce tournament so MVP winning is not a given :> plus the both of them would probably advance if it's the group stage. I hope the good players dont pick each other this time around.

Damn, no MC to pick stupid groups and send themselves to code A, oh well I'm sure someone will take the torch.

MVP - Ensnare
TOP - Virus
July - Noblesse
Polt - Killer (or he could turn evil and pick HongUn or MarineKing)
Genius - asd
Ryung - Jjakji
Huk - Coca
Keen - HongUn

Predictions for top eight. I can see Polt picking MMA who then picks DongRaeGu who then picks Nestea to create the stupidest group in GSL history.

I honestly wish that after MVP choses his Code S opponent, TOP would burst into the studio and shout "IN THAT CASE I'LL CHOOSE SQUIRTLE!"

...

If Squirtle was in Code S as well, of course.

Nice predictions. They look pretty good, actually. But yeah, it's not a GSL Code S selection without some really dumb picks. I really hope your "stupidest group in GSL history" doesn't happen.

Yep. You're not a fan unless you watch Sc2 pros NOT playing Sc2.

Hoping for a descent group for Huk. Also, Nestea will probably end up in TOP's group since the 3rd person from that group will have the last choice.
