Kinda disapointed in the player pool. I think last hsc had the right mix of starpower vs newcomers and koreans vs foreigners. This time it feels like there is a overcompensation of foreigners so they. Can zerg their way to victory. Expecting a cheese fest in MVPs group.

I sadly agree, lot of players who have sort of fallen off the map results-wise.

O well you dont watch this one for the competition anyways, its for the fun of seeing them having a good time instead of stressing/focusing solely on the games imo. Will be entertaining for reasons other than the games.

Hard group for TLO. He could get his revenge against Hasuobs for the WCS Germany
loss but i really do thing that he won`t make it out of his group.

I can't really agree with that. I only see - on average - maybe one player per group that I am surprised to see being invited into a competitive tournament. Obviously, players in Europe and in particular Germany have been favoured in getting invites, which is why Darkforce has been invited as one of the best players in Germany (as the recent something-qualifier has shown).

i think the playerfield of hsc 5 is more levelled than the last on. in hsc 4 we had MKP, hero, violet, stepahno ofc. but we also had players like moman, adelscott, aures, poyo, darkhydra, who are good but didnt stand a chance.
so i think we will see more exciting games from the very beginning.

Yeah, seems overcompensated. Also, most of the NA players are the well known underperforming ones. While I can understand doing this due to their notability, it would be nice for some less well known talent to have been invited.

how have the groups been decided? completely picked by the organizers or semi-random (seeding 1 terran in the group and not more than 2 of the others)

edit: nevermind, to a very high probability completely or largely setup by the organizers as all 3 Alternate players are in the only 3 groups without a korean.
