Fair enough. But I always thought of Moon as the 5th Race.
Still, considering how long of a progaming career that guys like Nada, Boxer and July have had, it is still great to see that they still have what it takes to hold with the top (usually). They are nowhere near the level of dominance that they had been during their peaks, but I am impressed by their longevity.

Just saying I liked the term, but it has no special reference to July.
Any Bonjwa could be called like that...SC is a RTS (for simple minded people "war game") afterall....

If you think that's impressive, look at his BW career 
He definitely has respectable results, but his BW legacy is legendary. He was the first Zerg to really start consistently winning Starleagues (Yellow always got 2nd, and savior was after July)

DRG gets to play his best matchup only, haha.
Naniwa has a pretty tough group tbh, and so does nestea. Groups overall are super balanced though. It's not like that one time they had nestea mvp and naniwa all in the same group of death.

I would say Naniwa has a easy group actually, out of his opponents, 2 of them are terrible at V p. Plus with mvp playing so badly this days(watched his stream, and he was shaking his wrist a lot), I would say if naniwa doesn't get through then I would really wish that GomTV stop giving out seeds.

Blasphemy 
But group of death certainly would be group A for me. A bit sad, that Nada has such a hard group as well, I'd really like him to go far this season.

If there were any groups of death here, it's group e or group f.

Unfortunately sC's skill is still largely trapped in the past alongside his Ro8 vs San the season before. Back then he was phenomenal with shakey TvT and fell from Code S because of it. Then lung collapse. Then lung collapse. Then lung collapse. Now he's only showing borderline Code S / A skill. He never looks terrible by any stretch of the word, but he's far from the hope we saw almost a year ago now. =(
I still hope though.

So is it
T1 vs T4
T2 vs T3
or are the initial matches random?

I feel MVP's wrist is giving him issues, been seeing him mech a fair amount recently, and even that isn't executed as well as it used to be. Real shame, as an in-form MVP is probably the best all-round player I've seen play this game thus far.

Naniwa didn't do too badly imo. Puzzle should win the group but Naniwa can take a game off anyone PvP and he's pretty good vs Terran too, while Ryung and MVP aren't that strong vs P. Of course he's not favorite but I don't think he's be the favourite in any group possibility, look how good the Tier 1 and 2 players all are, and tier 3 or 4 aren't slouches either. Code S keeps getting stronger and stronger, we just need Seal to get in there somehow, maybe as a 33rd player.

Virus looked really good against Fin. In fact his mech play that whole day of up & downs looked pretty solid.

Ich hoffe Naniwa der Stinker bekommt ultrarape.

Naniwa does have a very reasonable group. That being said, a Code S player being "terrible v P" is not the same as any other player being "terrible v P".

These groups are well balanced. Impressed.

I like the way the groups are set up. GSL -- exciting as always!
