Mvp will pick a terran.

Genius won't be picking Naniwa again.
Maybe squirtle will pick up Naniwa, but i think he'll either pick a terran orr seed.
DRG could pick nani; and squirtle probably won't pick nani since they're on the same team.

No leenock + MKP snuggle = sadness.
I kind of miss the old crazy group nominations where everyone got cocky and just picked whoever was going to be most entertaining. It'd be a bad idea but wholy amusing to see MVP choose MC and for DRG to pick symbol or mkp for the challenge/ rivalry factors.

I wouldn't be so sure. Genius 4-0'd Naniwa in the NASL Sunday Showdown a few weeks back.

He could but DRG said he wants 3 terrans in his group.

most fun picks:
Mvp -> MarineKing
DRG -> Symbol (fight for best zerg)
Genius -> NaNiwa
Squirtle -> Keen (and then proxy 2gates him)
Symbol -> NesTea (fight for #1 zerg)
NaNiwa -> MC (wanted to pick him last time)
NesTea -> viOLet (all 4 zergs in one group)

I think Naniwa gets picked by DRG first so won't come down to that.
I think Genius wouldn't mind beating Naniwa again but I think Genius would probably pick someone else just in case, should Naniwa fall to his spot.
And since Squirtle and Naniwa practice together, highly unlikely they pick each other either.

DRG will pick a terran, hes said in interviews that he wants 3 terrans in his group, and i doubt that any of the terrans would pick a zerg, so its looking likely that DRG might get his ideal group, ill guess at group D being something like:
DRG
Keen/SuperNova
MKP
Byun
Thats not going to happen because MVP will pick a Terran first and that Terran will probably pick one too.

Oh man I'd love to see all the zergs in one group. With how much ZvZ has been evolving lately it'd be amazing with infestor drops and nydus play and a hive tech all over the place. It's just not possible for those four to make ZvZ boring and we might even see some contaminates used again.
Totally never gonna happen

Gonna be a good day. Always one of the best times of the season.

I find it weird that MC feels like the weakest player in Ro16. He didn't look too good in his matches (I did skip MC vs Sniper though), compared to everyone else.

Contaminate costs 125 energy (as opposed to 50 before), hard to be usable when you have to have overseers waiting around for like a minute in order to use it once

I wish to a falling star that Team Liquid will do a full presentation (with all the nice graphics like the BW write-ups) of all the ro16 players after group noms. This season is definitely the most stacked group of ro16 ever. So many storylines everywhere like:
Nestea trying to get 4 GSL titles to match MVP and is riding on this motivation
64.47% Match Win Rate 49W/27L
MVP trying to get 5 titles as well as a golden keyboard and still trying to show non-believers that he is the true king of terran
70.53% Match Win Rate 67W/28L holy crap, almost 100 matches played and able to maintain 70% match WR!
Symbol arguably the best Zerg right now (in all 3 match ups)
88.89% Match Win Rate 16W/2L
Squirtle wants his revenge against MVPKeen (for ro32) and LGIMMVP (last season finals)
62.71% Match Win Rate 37W/22L
Naniwa and his run for the finals and which Korean will cheese him out this time around! Still representing the foreigners!
38.89% Match Win Rate 7W/11L
Genius and his self proclaimed rivalry against team MVP after leaving the team (???)
59.42% Match Win Rate 41W/28L
MKP will he finally win a GSL after winning so many MLGs and will he face off against MVP in ro16?
61.90% Match Win Rate 65W/40L
viOlet Even though a top contender, many people probably see him as a darkhorse
38.1% Match Win Rate 8W/13L
DRG is back for his throne in a time where he thinks Zergs have the most advantage (said so in his interviews)
76.36% Match Win Rate 42W/13L
MC is back to prove he is the protoss president indeed (by winning 3GSLs) and making sure other tosses don't win along the way by practicing with their opponents (lol)
59.09% Match Win Rate 52W/36L
and that is just the players who I think have a real shot to become champion (Don't let the players with under 50 games recorded Win Rate trick you!), there are many other players who can make it far into code S like:
Taeja (representing Liquid!), SuperNova (who needs a team!), Keen (badass gif), Seed (another badass gif), Byun (his code S comeback), Ryung (who is doing much better in TvP and keeping the SlayerS flame alive)
I think it will be hard to put all these players onto a power rank chart but I will be cheering for Seed (hopefully he has finally become the protoss hero we wanted since his GSTL debut over a year ago!)
*Match Win Rates pulled from GOMTV.NET records

my guesses
A / Mvp - Naniwa - Seed - MC
B / Squirtle - Nestea - Byun - viOlet
C / Genius - Keen - Taeja - MKP
D / DRG - Ryung - Supernova - Symbol
|
Let's hope Nani gets a decent group!
|
Think Mvp will grab keen, taeja, or mkp
|
Mvp would pick... Keen or Byun?
DRG would pick SuperNoVa or Ryung since they both likely to pick another T.
Genius would pick the one DRG didn't pick.
Squirtle would pick Seed or viOLet
Let's see...
Mvp > Keen
DRG > Ryung
Genius > SuperNoVa
Squirtle > Seed
Seed > viOLet
SuperNoVa > Byun
Ryung > NaNiwa (While he'd love a T, only T's left are MKP and Taeja... so it's either Nani or NesTea)
Keen > MC
MC > MKP
Naniwa > Taeja (No, he won't pick NesTea)
Byun > Symbol (Feels like he want Symbol more than NesTea)
viOLet forced to pick Nestea
|
Keen, Supernova, Ryung, Taeja etc will probably get picked super early by a Zerg if a Zerg can. Otherwise, no other race will pick Zergs except maybe Squirtle or MC for a long time.

Mvp picking Keen. DRG picking supernova/seed imo. After that no idea, will be heaps fun to watch as always.
Symbol for last pick easily!
DRG will pick a terran whose TvT is really good. He wants three terrans in his group. Maybe Ryung.

He's still having nightmares about proxy rax's. I don't blame him T___T
As long as he learns how to beat 11/11 rax then he should roll over Keen ez.
