Stats didn't use his swap? Aww. He could have gotten Zest out of the inevitable team kill. When I saw Dark picked TY I was immediately sure he was gonna do a swap. Group D looks pretty tame for TY honestly. | ||

Stats was fine with his group and couldn't help Group A | ||

Well play sir well play  and besides, I really don't know why Alive would have picked Zest, you gotta pick someone who can benefit yourself, in what way could he be benefited by picking Zest? with Zest's PvT? or maybe he wanted to just create a group of death. But Dark and Zest have been in the WCS final already, winning or not they will still be there. and what will be left for Alive? | ||

Well play sir well play Don't think he can claim that much. Zest only got in the group through sheer luck. His plan consisted of getting Trust first up which he achieved. | ||

Keep in mind he was originally picked by TY, so maybe he wanted to annoy TY with the Zest pick. Or he wanted to make the ultimate group of death. Why would he do that? To make sure nobody ever forgot about him again. | ||

It'll depend on the new zerg-buffing patch. if it works so well that a Terran can not punish him, then I don't think a protoss can punish him either, especially that protoss is Zest. That's Champion's privilege, live with that . And speaking of champion's privilege, I remember that Zest is a Champion too, and he's also a drama queen. So when it comes to GSL group seletion. I expect a big scene, some Shakespeare or Vengeance stuff will be great  | ||

Why would he do that? To make sure nobody ever forgot about him again. I thought Alive's pick was rather silly too. Having Dark, TY and Zest means preparing for 3 different matchups. Either he is really confident of his TvP (he toyed with picking Classic first), meta-preempting the swaps in some way, hates the guts of KT and SKT or just went YOLO. | ||
