I feel like most of these groups are going to be very difficult to call. We will have some pretty big upsets.

Naniwa might actually advance

He is good at PvP, he has beaten MVP and Ryung isn´t very good at PvT at all.

DRG has all ZvT match ups this is going to be entertaining. I'm excited for group F and G.

How is the first one the hardest one? DRG will crush everyone there and jjakji is on an other level then stc and especially taeja.

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.


TheStC has really weak tvz, that's why he's a really solid pick from DRG. He may still get out of the group on his tvt, I think 2nd place in that group is pretty up in the air.

Naniwa drew the best group possible. Both Terrans are not too strong in TvP and Puzzle can be very inconsistent in all matchups. I feel he can advance.

I think DRG has it... sadly.

UNLESS! a) blizzard come to intervene b) DRG looses to MMA or some sick terran in ro16, then we can finally have protoss champion.

Parting/Oz = PvT masters

Polt/Fin = TvP masters

How is this not the resounding choice for group of death?

Regardless, I am as giddy as ever for this season's GSL.

These groups are pretty ridiculously close in most cases for the second r16 spot.. in each group.

Edit:I'm calling it right now MC takes this gsl.

Ohhh lol, nice groups. I like how favorites are spread out.
DRG in heaven probably with 3 terrans in his group (still his best MU i believe?)

good day, svizcy

Although it is my group of death, I chose it as such due to my view that the players are all of similar level. I don't feel as though Polt and especially Fin as tvp masters, I'm pretty sure parting and oz will move on.

The last group is probably the group of death in this GSL season, like shit all of them are scary.

Go HerO and Naniwa!

I still think group F is the hardest - MMA, Leenock, Squirtle, and Nada.

Also, what the heck is the Atlantis Spaceship map? Really looking forward to Ohana RE as well.

The highest level GSL final ever was won by DRG. theSTC was not even the best terran in his up and down group in an absolute sense...sC was extremely sick/unwell. The competition in that up/down was also basically lower than the others. The achievement there was that he made it through. That does not make him favored in this group, or any other. Remember, DRG picked theSTC. Not Maru, not Virus, not Polt. theSTC. It wasn't for lack of options in the matchup.

Taeja...has not played a good Zerg or a good Terran in quite some time on TV. His opponents in last code a were TSLMyWay, FXOLucky, and ST Squirtle. Of those, squirtle made it through the up and downs, Lucky is not in Code S this season, and MyWay...I don't think myWay is in the GSL currently. So we haven't seen much if anything from him in the last 3 months in the matchups he's expected to play. He's a dog in the matchup against DRG no matter what, and theSTC is likely to be favored. Beating Jjakji will be his best shot. He may have to do it twice.

Jjakji is good, and should be favored to get out. He's not unbeatable. Check out his games from group A in Season one. His macro was sloppy in both the first sets against Sen, even though he went 2-0. His decisionmaking is not terrible, and he had a good run to his GSL. But I don't think he's top 5 at his own race currently. If he has a bad season, it starts to look more like he had a deep run at a particular time and place, not that he has long-term staying power.

On paper, the group is solid. But it's hardly a group of death.
Good things come to those who are aggressive!

I have to agree there. I know that Polt/Fin aren't the best TvP but they are pretty darn good at it. Although, every Code S Terran seems to have really good TvP in my eyes of course .

I have to disagree. MMA should straight up brute force his way through this group. Depending who plays who first, it will likely be Leenock as 2nd. Although, I haven't seen much of Squirtle to be fair.

Good for Naniwa that he plays Ryung first. If Puzzle beat MMA he can get out of group first. But again. their group will be played in a month. A lot of time for everyone to practice.

I hope MC gets out of his group. With the way DRG is playing, it seems only the godly vZs of MMA and MC can take him down.


If MVP can overcome his wrist issues he will be back with full force and can kill DRG as well. Lets see if that is gonna happen.

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.
