I really want to see Naniwa win his group for the sake of foreigner relevancy. The way he adapts his builds real-time in large and fast LANs shows me that he'll probably be able to play a strategy v MVP no matter how he tries to open, he'll have a response. Depending on his showing in the first stage I think he may be poised to go deep, if he can play Code S tournament style. I hope his supporting crew can prepare him well.

I'm liking that the zergs are pretty in position to move up (including a few lesser respected ones!) so that we won't have GomTvP, TvT, or PvP.

Singularity is at hand...

One of the effects of the new Code S system is that ALL the groups look pretty stacked.

Zergs only need DRG though....


I really hope for Naniwa to win the group. If he wins it though I can already hear it:

"that korean was bad, it was pvp what do you expect, MVP is ill, Naniwa all inned, etc"

A:DRG, Jjakji B:Supernova, Genius(with Seed a close 3rd) C:aLive, July D:Gumiho(EZ), Hero
E:Nestea, MC(anything other than these two would be a real shock)
F:MMA, Leenock(could easily be any of these four though...I pity them)
G:Naniwa, MVP
H: Parting, forGG

Group A should be not too bad for DRG, not really that hard compared to what it could have been. Interesting that DRG picked theSTC as opposed to Maru/Virus. Taeja needs to win his first match to have a real shot.
BboongBboongPrime is the obvious choice if Genius wanted to pick a Zerg; I'm looking forward to more hallucinated collossi than you can shake a stick at coming from Seed; who knows if Supernova will be able to handle it? Group B will make for some very exciting games.
Group C we will watch to see if alive is Super-alive again, or if his play is somewhat mediocre. if alive doesn't come in with good form, I favor July/MKP.
Hero has a really good shot at making it out of group D. He won't beat Gumiho, but he has a decent shot at anybody else there. Curious could be a real positive surprise, but I expect him to be back in Code A relatively quickly.
MC/Nestea got the easiest T4/T3 players they could have. I give Inca no higher than 5% chances to get out of his group. Virus is the dark horse in that group.
Group F is the group of death, people. Easily. Squirtle is the most underrated protoss player in the entire tournament; Nada is Nada, and I don't have either of those two making it out of the group. It's hard to pick against MMA or Leenock, though both looked human last season. Rooting for Leenock to carry the Zerg torch, and pulling for NaDa to knock MMA out.
Group G is going to be so dependent on the first two matches...if Ryung beats MVP, which is not unthinkable, Naniwa could maybe dodge him altogether by winning 2-0. Other people have said that puzzle can be quite the....okay, Puzzle does not always have good form. I rank Puzzle below Parting for sure; of all the protoss players that Naniwa could have pulled, Puzzle is perhaps the easiest. Still, it won't be easy for him. One also wonders what sort of form MVP will be in...and you can imagine him thankful that there are no zerg in his group after the way he lost to Seal in teamleague the other day. Hopefully his TvT is improved from when we saw him go down 4-1 against Gumiho last season.
Last, but not least group H. Parting, the Protoss darling of last season, in a group with Oz, prior holder of the title. Hopefully one of the two can beat their Terran opponent; nobody wants to see a PvP to decide who is going down to Code A 0-2. Fin will be favored if he plays against Polt; we know Polt loves his bio play. The real question mark is how Oz is going to play. How is he adapting to the new protoss lategame against terrans, and is his PvP up to snuff?
Good things come to those who are aggressive!

Oh my god, this code S is more stacked than ever before. Few of these guys don't have potential to win it all (poor Nani). Every group I set my eyes on I feel like damn the two players that are going to be knocked down to code A are so unlucky.

Holy group E! DRG will be fighting his face off against all those terran, he wont need to ladder anymore, just play ZvT 10 hours a day.
The only way to attack structure is with chaos.

DRG in a dream group for him, only Terran to prepare for. Jjakji might be the only one who's going to give him problems.
Decent group for Naniwa aswell i feel same as HerO. Not so lucky for Zenio, but then again some way he always makes it back in code S.

Well I'd like to see Zenio for once get a favorable group...poor guy..has the worst luck on draws...

Certainly not an easy group for our foreign hope, Naniwa.
I can no longer rest under the tree of wisdom, since you have axed down the roots feeding it.

I guess Polt can't dog MMA for getting a non-traditional qualifier route to code S anymore. Not sure if he did in the past (Killer did though, I believe), but with any luck for Polt, he'll have the same success as MC, MMA, and DRG have had. However, I predict Parting and forGG.

Naniwa may own like at MLGs or he may get thrown out like he has in the past. It's very hard to predict, except I don't think he'll probe rush. Ryung seems an underdog, but I don't hate his chances.

I think DRG might finish 4th in his group, but not 3rd. The upset will be swift or it won't happen. He's strong mentally so in a 2nd/3rd place match between two 1-1 players, he'll be likely to keep his composure, probably more so than the others in his group. Of course if he plays his best from the outset, he's favored to win the group.

MMA also just needs to bring his A game: he should already be taking it more seriously, with the race variety and other recent upsets to motivate him. + Show Spoiler +
like losses in GSTL and that series vs Puma at IEM
Leenock should do his thing and be the 2nd in group.

MC and Nestea should meet in the winner's round and then MC will probably win with his current form and Nestea's recent struggles. He's still strong at ZvP I assume, but MC has improved more, imo. Does Inca or Virus pull an upset? Inca vs Nestea is like 99% Nestea, while he has decent chances vs MC. Virus is underdog regardless of how well he's playing recently.

Groups B, C, and D each look like they could have one player per group do really well and be called the next "best of their race," except for MKP, who's the strongest out of all 12 of those. Genius/Supernova; July/MKP; Hero/Gumiho to advance. The code S newbies like Seed and Maru will probably choke just enough to lose, even though you'd think they're about equivalent to their opponents.

I hope MVP is able to play at a decent level with his wrists problem. IdrA said on his stream that he barely practices anymore....

very manageable group for naniwa hope he can make a r08, mvp hasn't played up to his level lately and puzzle and ryung are beatable. See group A and F as the groups of death, however there is no really weak group in code S nowadays.

Poor ForGG, he's in a group of death. TvP isn't one of his best matchups statistically, although his Up and Downs he did show pretty good TvP at least taking out Brown, Killer and Huk. I really hope he makes it, but with TvP as it is these days, I fully expect at least Parting or Oz to make it, or even Polt.
