All other groups are selected not on a totally random basis, but rather, the first matches pair Tier 1 opponents with Tier 4, and Tier 2 with Tier 3. (Which means I was wrong about Squirtle selecting Thorzain...Byun would be a scary choice, and PvP is probably not a great choice either.) Group Selection will commence in Ro16 with the top 4 GSL points for the year in the round of 16 getting to pick a group and their first opponent. Which group they pick does determine where the two who come out will go in the bracket for the final 8. Then each person picked picks one player for the group, then the players picked for a group second complete the process by picking the final 4 players. I know, that's complicated. But it's about as clear as it can be. | ||

However, in their GSL matches, things look way more even, Ganzi losing to MC in November code S 0-1, in 2012 season 1 , he lost 0-2 to MC, but beat MC 2-0 in season 2 code A, making the GSL record between the two 2-3 in favor of MC. Overall record 9-6 in favor of Ganzi, would be interesting to see how will they fair against each other in the upcoming group stage^^. Seems like IMSeed is going to drop down to Code A once again, hope he can at least show some good games. If I am not mistaken, Nani will start off against Creator, which he should have a solid chance to win ... then he would probably meet Nestea i nthe winners match ...if he lost, he might still face Creator once again and still advance~ ~ He got solid chance to advance to Ro16 I will give 50% chance for Thorzain to beat Squirtle, Keen has like 50% chance to beat Gumiho..... whlie Squirtle can beat Keen & Gumiho easily any day of a week... so Squirtle should advance no matter what. Thorzain would need some luck to make it out .... hope he can adjust his playstyle quick enough... Group D... MVP is going to make it out ..I do not care about who the other one would be Group F... hope MKP will meet up against Parting and both can advance XD.. I just want some good games between them ... Group G , very interesting, but I am not a fan of anyone from that group...so ..... whatever | ||

Just like you said in an earlier post, Squirtle did not choose Keen... Squirtle is the runner up..so he is the one who pick Thorzain....cannot see why you are wrong...Am I missing sth ?.? | ||

Maybe its that... maybe.... | ||

I don't think GOM could have chosen a more deserving pair of players to invite. Since Naniwa is already in Code S and Stephano will be in season 4 I definitely think Thorzain is the best foreigner to invite. He's done great lately and is a fan-favorite. Violet is weird in the way that most Koreans who move to another country usually lose their skills gradually. Violet has just become so much better after leaving Korea. | ||

He'll 4-0 the group, and Creator is probably coming with him. Perhaps Naniwa if his pvp is up to it. Too bad the groups stayed the same :/ not particularly exciting yet. | ||

maru T_T in his worst matchup against a great zerg. should beat the other two though byun no TvT haha damn. i think he can take it though creator is managable, i hope he irons out his PvP dislike and owns the group. he can take it pretty easily otherwise leenock has a managable group, hopefully not meeting ace/ace going back to his usual sucky self lol gumiho will have trouble maybe. hope he preps well | ||

It's: Group A - 1st in point ranking Group B - 4th in point ranking Group C - 3rd in point ranking Group D - 2nd in point ranking. | ||
