Group of deaths F and G imo...
With just one match-up to practice (PvT), Squirtle should be in the best shape (group C). Thorzain's TvT isn't bad and his group isn't stacked, so he has a chance 
With only 13 T this time around, and 10 P and 9 Z, I'm glad to see that we're becoming more balanced in Code S
|
Great mix of players, very happy with these groups.
DRG fighting!!
|
these groups are kinda balanced out i think, no group of death

Too bad Thorzain has no chance in making it out of the group. Lol... your talking about Thorzain here, this guy has some of the best T v T out there, he most definetly has a chance, aswell as he can do huge pvt upsets, i think your jumping the gun on Thorzain being out....... Nah. He's a bad TvT player. http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/details.php?section=sc2-international&type=players&id=1795&part=games&league=standard&vs=THe loses to almost every Korean he plays TvT and several other besides. Plus he's against Squirtle, one of the best Protoss in the world. He's fucked. Yeah. Didn't he just lose to Polt in Dreamhack finals? Guy must have terrible TvT. Yes, take one series and use it to represent his entire matchup instead of looking at all the data. Good comeback right there. My point is that he recently smashed a high level korean terran. I would say that a recent match with a lot on the line may be somewhat indicative of where he currently stands in the matchup. I think the real question is how long he will have to prepare in the slayers house. If he has a good amount of time he shoudl have at least a chance, given the practice partners that he has access to. If his situation is anything like his code A debacle he will have an incredibly hard time. Most people overestimate Polt, he isnt even Code S level (last season he got seeded & he dropped out of Code A season before that), so for Thorzain to beat him, and then say he will do well vs Code S terrans not comperable. He beat Polt who is at best Code A level. Thorzain will certantly have a chance, but that chance aint big (and I'm a huge Thorzain fan)
This is what i was trying to say, but was to much of a fanboy to be as objecive : P
I do think that having time to prepare will help Thorzain, given his skill set. Also I do think that polt can be compared to middling Code S players. That he was the last picked opponent in spring arena means that he has a lot of respect from his Code S and Code A peers.

Thorzain is going to MLG and Dreamhack, his Code S group is happening in the weekdays between those events.
I highly doubt he will have time to prepare, not to mention jet lag.

What the balls? Group C is one percent of the votes? Squirtle, Thorzain, and Gumiho are all amazing, and Keen has been a code s regular for a very, very long time.
|
my prediction
A: Hero. the other could be either Byun or Curious
B: Nestea & Creator. so hard to predict for this group
C: Squirtle & Keen
D: Mvp & Happy. Genuis also has chance to make it out anyway
E: MC & Ganzi
F: MKP & Symbol. GROUP OF DEATH. I do like Parting but recently I'm in favor of Symbol so I hope he can go through <3
G: DRG & viOLet. Maru is also good enough...Hmmm
H: Leenock & Ace

I will be rooting for him like crazy, but sadly I don't see how he can make it out, unless he can take out Squitle in his first Code S match. He's got WAY better chances to take out the 2 terrans than squirtle
While it's true from match up PoV, it would be hard for him to win two games in a row after losing his first Code S game.

Of course i wanted to see liquid do better in the GSTL, but their early elimination means that their two aces have alot more time to work on GSL here's hoping for a liquid vs liquid final!

Who put Nestea and Naniwa in the same group... oh dear.

Groups will be scheduled to accommodate foreign tournaments.
They won't be played in order

Oh dear MKP.
Parting just beat you.
Symbol just whacked you.
Yugioh just swatted you.
I wish you the best.

The only way they could possibly move it around to make it better would be to make it after Dreamhack instead of before, and even then he would have gone Sweden > USA > back to Sweden > Korea in 2 weeks, the jet lag would be even worse but he might have a few days to prepare for only GSL I guess.
edit: actually i'm sure he stayed in the US after redbull so scratch that out of there.

Such hubris Squirtle- hope ThorZain shows him up.
Although, being a top toss in a 3 terran group sounds amazing in the current metagame

Sick groups!!~
But wait, did Stephano deny his code s spot again?

Wooooo EG in code S again :D and Violet at the same time ^_^ Happy days happy days
