See group A and F as the groups of death, however there is no really weak group in code S nowadays. There's a difference between code S and foreign tournaments, even though some code s players are at foreign events. You know who your opponent in advance and are able to prepare. That's what koreans excel at. Making build orders to destroy someone's playstyle. Naniwa will be last in his group because he does the same builds. See leenock vs naniwa. Leenock learned naniwa and crushed him because naniwa isnt a very varied player. Edit: Also this is why idra gets destroyed, hes one dimensional like naniwa. And the reason why huk maintained code S for so long and can keep up with koreans is because he changes his playstyle and relies on micromanagement more than solid builds. | ||

NaNiwa 2 Leenock 1 @Winter Arena you are wrong, naniwa is a unpredictable player. | ||

Anyways pretty decent group, the first 4 don't really excite me, but the 2nd half looks awesome. I feel kinda bad for nestea, this is the kind of group where he'll play around 6 games where is is miles ahead and then looses. If Naniwa plays as good as he played at recent mlgs he'll make it out no problem. | ||

Potentially the best player in the world Terran who won the highest level GSL final ever Terran who's been terrifying for ages, though admittedly somewhat inconsistent Terran who's similarly terrifying and has shown ability to destroy everyone, but suffers from nerve issues You vastly underestimate Taeja and TheStC. They would be favoured to get out of most groups. | ||

Even though DRG has the best vT ratio of the top Korean Zergs (64%) I still think Jjakji and/or Taeja will give him a run for his money stylistically and mechanically. (Taeja has been winning the Korean weekly for like forever, and have you seen the showmatch between him and IdrA? (lol ok but seriously Taeja is a beast Terran) and Jjakji, who is also a GSL champ, has the best vZ along with MMA) theSTC might be able to pull off some wacky builds or hit timings DRG might not expect and get a clutch win, since I think theSTC is more of a "brain" terran like Polt/MVP is and is extremely smart and calculating (as opposed a brute hurrican force Terran like MMA/Gumiho/Jjakji) I don't know man.....even though I am like the biggest DRG fanboi I think this group will be very tough for him X_X 2012, year of the Protoss, tough year for Zergs | ||
