"2. Players from Tier 1 will be assigned to Group A through Group H. 3. The Champion and the Runner-up have the privilege to choose an opponent from Tier 4. 4. Players from Tier 2 will be assigned to Group A through Group H in random drawings. 5. Players from Tier 3 will be assigned to Group H through Group A in random drawings. 6. Players from Tier 3 will be assigned to Group A through Group H in random drawings." * Code S Ro.32 Group Nomination (will not be broadcasted). Doesn't this mean the only picking we'll see is whom Leenock and Jjakji pick? | ||

I really like this, and it's a change that should have been made sooooo much earlier. Player-selection always seems to end up with stacked halves of the bracket that makes for anticlimactic seasons and a lot of questions on the finalist who made it through "the easy side". Looking forward to see how it works out! | ||

I watch the Champions League draw every year, as well as other ones that come up (FA Cup comes to mind.) Even though the players arn't there to comment, it would still be cool to see. Imagine the hype in the LRs!!!! Guess it just us English people who like watching live draws Hassy  I agree 100% with what you just wrote, i watch every draw World Cup Champions League Euro 2012 Draw etcetcetc Its great hype and fun. Can make specticals of it, look back on previous seasons GSL, comment on matches what happend etc, discuss any news/rule changes. Maybe awards ceromony built in etcetc. But yeah id just be happy with showing the draw if you could please GOM =) | ||

Looking forward to see how it works out! I believe's this's a problem of the past though. Code S looks as it should be, pretty evenly strong with the occassional spike at MVP, MMA etc. I think player selection will still be alright. Really looking forward to seeing the groups anyhow! | ||

The real reason I assume they invited them is because the want more foreign viewers. So its not about merit its all about popularity, I hate that They do want more foreigners, which is why they have 2 foreign code S seeds that GOM will be handing out. But both sen and idra were in code S previously, both earned their way there like everyone else at the time, and neither of them ever dropped out of code S before they had to leave korea. | ||

GOM already said they were going to give spots to foreigners, might as well give them to the best foreigners. im sorry if you hate it. you can go talk to Mr. Chae if you want to. i doubt he'll care though. | ||

[...] The easiest I can imagine is maybe... aLive InCa YugiOh Parting I'd say the easiest would be Puzzle, Zenio/Inca, Idra/Boxer and Sen, but that's up for debate. And if there's a group full of Terrans, JYP is the easiest of the 4th seeds by far. | ||

I love Sen so I couldn't put him down in the easy group :p Also he's done well in tournaments even against Koreans, so he definitely has a shot. He didn't do well in WCG though I'm a fan of YugiOh's since his time as NewDawn (before he joined SlayerS), but I still think Boxer is better than him. aLive is probably more well balanced than Puzzle, but Puzzle has more potential. | ||
