People should stop using a single Bo3 to make generalizations. Even if you beat a player 70% of the time (which is really high for SC2), it still means you'll lose 3 times out of 10. And simply by chance or probability, 2 of those losses could just simply happen during that day. Honestly, given the volatility of sc2, anyone can lose a Bo3 to anyone.

I won't say I'm a big Idra fan but he played incredibly well in that series.

NaDa's TvT has been pretty suspect lately, going by his performance in the WCG. I think TaeJa and CoCa have a good chance of advancing.

Sexy jacket. Sexy man. Sexy speech.

I really don't understand SlayerS team..... they're fuckin themselves over with these teamkill shenanigans. Every other team absolutely hates teamkills. I thought they would have learned from last season when Puzzle almost dropped down to code A.

Only bad thing about this is that the Koreans speak so loud when I guess most people don't understand it anyways, it makes Johns voice so low so you don't get it translated anyway. :/

IMO more than half of these guys here are 2nd generation of SC2 players.

Losira: I mean to pick a Terran player because, while I'm confident in ZvP, but I had great fun watching DRG's ZvT and have come up with many new builds from it. Many fans have said I'm weak early game and that annoyed me so much I will show them wrong.
Picks asd

Losira: I picked asd because he wanted to play against NesTea and me and also because of his history with sC.

asd: When MMA said he wanted to play someone easy the camera immediately showed me! I want to show that to be wrong. . .My goal is to make it to Ro16 with sC.

July: (In response to the fact that his builds didn't work last season.) I only know how to be aggressive. I was upset because I wasn't ready in ZvZ last season but now I am.
Picks Puzzle

July: I have a better win% against Terran but I wanted to play against Protoss.
Puzzle: Ever since I was young I watched July on television and was impressed by him. . .I felt a lot of pressure last season. . .Against Sage, I think I got lucky because I was losing in terms of build order and Sage made some mistakes.
July: I have less than one year as a pro gamer because I have to do my term in the army. . .I'm happy with my group. I think Huk and I are similar; we both like to joke around.
Puzzle: I will try to win Code S like I won Code A.

Leenock: I was sad to only make Ro16 last season. I don't think I was able to show everything I prepared last season, but this season I will try to.
Picks Polt

Leenock: The only players I haven't played are Bomber and Polt. Polt comes first alphabetically so I picked him.
Polt: I am happy with my group. I am happy with all groups.
Leenock: Thanks to all the fans supporting me. This is the last GSL of the year and I don't think I have done well so far so I will try my best.
Polt: I got knocked out Ro32 last season. That surprised me.

GuMiHo: I kind of regret volunteering when DRG was picking. Now I am a little intimidated by the names in my group.
Picks Bomber

GuMiHo: I want to play good players to get over my nerve issues. I noticed DRG beat Bomber at MLG so hopefully even if I lose to him DRG will beat him. My goal this season is to overcome my nerve issues and win.
Bomber: Both Happy and DRG are good players so it's not an easy group. Although I have beaten him before in MLG I don't think it will be the same this time.( ?) I think it will be fun to play against DRG and I will be showing some ceremonies.
GuMiHo: I will show you great play.
*Round of applause for GuMiHo*

Taeja: (Asked about SlayerS Terrans.) We split games about evenly. (Asked about best player in group, if it's him) Coca is best. Oz just plays OP Protoss.
Picks Nada

Nada: I'm glad Taeja picked me because I wanted to play TvT. . .I like Coca. I don't like that the group has all the races.
Taeja: I will do my best and hope to at least stay in Code S.
Nada: (To SC2 pros) You must take pride in being the first pro gamers. Keep that in mind.
*Applause*

Group E is the group of death this season. I don't think anyone can really argue with that right now.

Nada with the moving comments on these players being the first generation of sc2 pros and how they should carry that with pride. <3

So with...what? (MMA, Ganzi, Taeja, Yugioh, Puzzle, Ryung) 7 SlayerS players they think they have a good chance of avoiding each other normally? They probably just entered saying "doesn't matter" and now are enjoying the possibility of playing each other on a big stage like a proper friendly rivalry.
