This. How is Squirtle vs. TaeJa not the group of death?
what?
squirtle and taeja are the only code S level players in that group, the other 4 are either underrated/ unpopular or just not code S calliber in the first place. group A on the other hand has massive fan favorites in JD/ flash/ MC, and also code S level players like yonghwa, as well as 2 underrated but good players (vampire and yoda)........

is it wrong that whenever i see a person with fnatic tag i automatically check their profile to see if they are zerosc2??.......also, Huk getting an up n down seed is as bad as grubby getting an up n down seed, they both arent very good recently, grubby did get 2nd in IEM singapore losing barely to sting in the finals, but other than that he is really not been performing well enough to indicate he is even code A level

He bummed out from GSL after those performances. Would be kind of weird to reward him for good performance in other tournaments that happened before he performed badly. Also, it's not long ago that he received the initial Code S seed anyways, they don't typically hand out another seed to the same person so soon (though there is no strict rule about that as far as I'm aware).

Seriously, group D is more stacked than A for sure.
Maybe, but I also feel like it has the most favored in HerO. The matchups are lining up really really well for him. The other groups don't have such a clear favorite imo.
I haven't been here long enough to know Flash and JD beyond the games they played in SC2 ( I'm aware of their history thou ), but group A as the group of death?! Come on. Group C has Symbol, Losira, and DRG! Any one of these players, if they play their best game are code S finalist material. Maybe I'm missing something but what I've seen from Flash and JD so far has been impressive but not stellar. Thous seeing Flash vs. JD in SC2 would be very cool.

i think bomber > HerO head to head, other than that tho i think HerO will have an easy time winning his group, i mean, bomber is ridiculously good in TvP and nothing else
also just noticed its YOU im talking to, must insult HerO moar
The competition in GSL has gotten so tight in the past few seasons it's crazy. It's actually heartbreaking to see the lineups of these Up and Down matches and know that less than half of them will be in Code S

Haha maybe maybe but HerO's PvT is the best in the world atm according to statistics. But yeah, him vs Bomber will likely be the toughest match and (I hope so at least) the best as well.
I saw on twitter Stephano said he'd be competing in code S. I only really started following GSL about halfway through last season, but doesn't he have to go through up/downs? Someone explain how it all works for me

Losira code S finalist material
just because someone reached the finals once back when people werent very good, doesnt mean he has the potential to reach the finals atm, when he doesnt even look code A.

If he was trying to qualify, he would have to go through Code B and then Code A to get to Code S. But GOM gives seeds sometimes and Stephano got one for this season. That's why he doesn't have to qualify.

Ok thanks I hope all foreigners do well, but I don't see them staying in Code S.
EPT
. not fair. interesting groups nevertheless
