That is intentional. You think the wrong direction. GomTV thought: We put all P in 1/2 groups so that its more likely that at least ONE will advance.

Lucky actually got extremely lucky cause his best match-up is ZvT and he only has terrans in his Group

Should be
Puzzle Gumhio
Puzzle is code A champion and has shown really good play recently and is good at PvP. Gumhio is just overall a code S level terran in my opinion
Oz YugioH/JYP
Oz is good taking out many good players. It is YuGiOhs time to finally make code S but JYP can still take it.
Teaja, Top
Teaja is a top Korean terran no doubt. He has been consistently on top of the Korean ELO and has displayed a fantastic understanding of all matchups and has a reliable macro game and doesn't rely on cheese.
Top is another one of the best terrans if not underrated. Always showing good results and only falling after losing in the finals. I have no doubt he will make it back into Code S.
sC was once a candidate for best terran player but ever since his fall to code A he has been showing a lackluster performance and with all his injuries he will just not be able to compete with the likes of Teaja and TOp or even Nobolesse.

Zenio GuMiho
Keen YugiOh
2 of the 4 Terran(sC + TOP probably)
^^

He is not very strong at macro TvZ nearly losing to Boxer, who in his current state, is arguably even code A material.

yup, up and downs is still a hell hole for people dropping from code S
|
Some pretty stacked groups. Noblesse, Lucky and Yugioh are the only players who for sure don't belong in code S. Everyone else could potentially make some noise.
|
If; Zenio, Gumiho, Keen, Yugioh all advance and no Toss advance, the QQ on TL would be cataclysmic. Oh I would love to see what Dustin Browder would have to say to only 2 Toss being in code S. Go go drama, make it happen!

Group A: SlayerSPuzzle NsHSSage
Group B: MVPKeen TSL.JYP
Group C - Thursday October 20th SlayerSTaeja MVPsC
Sorry TOPbro, but this is want I want and I think sC wants to hang on to code S badly
|
Can Taeja get revenge on Lucky for his triple Slayers IPL killing spree? At least Group C assures that 2 terrans go to code A.
A: Sage and Puzzle (or Gumiho?)
B: JYP and Yugioh
C: TOP and Lucky (or Taeja. Sorry sC)

Assuming that all players are equally skilled, here are the overall odds for protoss in the up and downs.
Odds of 0 protoss advancing: 1.00% Odds of 1 protoss advancing: 12.00% Odds of 2 protoss advancing: 42.00% Odds of 3 protoss advancing: 36.00% Odds of 4 protoss advancing: 9.00%
Overall expected: 2.4 protoss to advance. (you can define what 4/10ths of a protoss is)
If the groups had been 2 protoss per group then it would be
0 protoss: 2.70% 1 protoss: 16.20% 2 protoss: 35.10% 3 protoss: 32.40% 4 protoss: 11.70% 5 protoss: 1.80% 6 protoss: 0.10%
Overall expected would be, once again 2.4 protoss to advance.

It wouldn't be GSL without 1 group stacked with Terrans. I hope sage and genius make it out, need some baller Protoss's in code S.

"It appears that there are simply more exceptional Terran players in Korea.". You think I'm joking, but Dustin has been known to produce even more idiotic statements in his interviews.
Besides, balance is David Kim's playground anyway. I'm curious about his thoughts on the current state of Protoss, personally.

Hongun i get back to coda S for me (A)
|
FXO is really fighting their way into GSL ... FXO fighting!
|
Group A Puzzle Gumiho Zenio will go 0-4
Group B Keen oZ (If he can beat Keen or Yugioh otherwise JYP)
Group C Definetly the hardest group to predict. 1 month ago I'd have said TOP and Taeja, no doubt, but from what I've seen TOP hasn't adjusted well to the decline in mech vs mech, and Lucky looked so strong vT at the IPL. sC also has strong bio and marine tank vT so he is also a threat.
I'm going to say
Lucky Taeja
but I think any combination of the 5 could make it out.
Edit: If Lucky beats Taeja then he only has Ganzi to beat for the full sweep on Boxer & Sons.
|
bummer for zenio I always liked his play, oh well at some good protoss will get in code S.
|
My favourite players from these groups are all Terrans: SC, Top, Keen, Gumiho.
But for the good of the game i want more Protoss through.
Bleh.
|
Group A makes me weep. Genius, Puzzle, and Sage?! =(
