Based entirely off of Aligulac numbers, these would be the most "logical" decisions, assuming that  Rain gets the 4th spot instead of  TRUE:
Zest selects EffOrt.
soO selects DRG
 Maru selects Reality.
Rain selects Cure.
Cure selects TRUE.
Reality selects Stats.
DRG selects Flash.
The LR thread goes berserk for 5 pages because of the acknowledgement of Flash.
EffOrt selects Solar.
Solar selects PartinG.
Stats selects Soulkey.
Flash selects sOs.
TRUE is forced to select INnoVation.
Groups:
Zest, EffOrt, Solar, PartinG
soO, DRG, Flash, sOs
Maru, Reality, Stats, Soulkey
Rain, Cure, TRUE, INnoVation
EDIT: I should probably mention how I came to this conclusion.
In the first round, I put each player in a Bo3 with every remaining player and had them select the one which they had the highest percentage of winning against.
In the second round, I placed the choosing player and the initial player in a 3-man round robin group with each player who wasn't picked yet, then had the choosing player pick the player which gave them the loest percentage of finishing last (gotta finish ahead of at least one of them to advance).
For the final round, I just made the groups and had the choosing player go with the group that gave them the best Top 2 percentage.

How long do these usually last; do they have 10+ min commercials throughout? Might get up for it if it's not too long.

Flash didn't sound very excited about this yesterday, which is unsurprising considering his experiences at group selection ceremonies in the past =/

My guess is Parting will goad everyone into picking him except soO. In soO's case he will beg soO to not pick him.

O.k Parting, I'm counting on you for this
PartinG,
Flash ,
TRUE,
Rain.
Make it happen!

FlaSh and Rain definitely the two scariest players out there. Doubt anyone would pick those two (assuming Rain isn't picking first).

Rain will probably be the last one picked (Assuming he isn't doing a first pick himself).
I think someone will still pick FlaSh early on though. I'm sure they'll come to regret it though.

I think Parting will pick Flash, if he has a chance.

Wouldn't be surprised; I also think Parting would win in a rematch

Yeah, its really not fair to say that just because of one taunt from PartinG on an SPL Final that Flash will always win against PartinG.
PartinG will win if he doesn't use too much trash talk to force god mode out of Flash (cuz that's what he did in SPL); if he doesn't taunt Flash, then he can win!!!!!! (cuz that's how he won before, he only Taunts Flash after he wins, by which time Flash can't do anything about it)
RMBR PEOPLE: GOLDEN RULE FOR FLASH VS PARTING:
If PartinG pisses Flash off = Flash win!!!!
If PartinG doesn't piss Flash off = PartinG win!!!!
I hope PartinG is WISE this time, for his own good

i love your school of thought, BUT, this is GSL, this is one of the scariest and most stacked Ro16's the GSL has ever had, not going to be kind for ANYONE!!!!! (Not even gonna be kind for Rain or Zest!!!!)

Thank God, that there are only 4 SKT T1 guys left and soO and Rain will be in separate groups already.
No teamkills most likely, if soO doesn't wanna free path to Ro8 by choosing PartinG.
Hope for nice group for sOs though ;/
Yeah because Classic became Seed 3.0 (2.0 is Dear. Proof is his recent fall into Code A)

AT LEAST Dear won something after his GSL (WCS S3 finals), (and then got another 3/4 in Hot6ix, second place in ASUS ROG) and got into the Ro16 in GSL 2014 S1!!!!
so technically Classic is Seed 2.0

I'm so glad they brought the group selections back. Random picks were so dumb and unhyped compared to group selections.
|
Some of the people here value Innovation over Flash, I can see their logic but I wouldn't be too sure about that. :-/
|
Stats might get picked early but he's gonno surprise some people as the breakout Toss this season.
|
Is this the most balanced and with the highest number of top players GSL ever ?
HYPUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
