Saw this post but didnt think I could do it justice, onya Dodgin.
The Marine Split may be amazing to watch
Also Aphrodite not picked last was a shock, then I saw Startale coach as the Blue coach so figured there was some bias, but then I realised Avenge was last hahahaha. Aphrodite > Avenge.
Also wait... what... Golden got in but Life didnt?! :S

Technically Seed was picked last because the coaches picked an extra player (Choya and Avenge) after the original 12 were picked.
Also good guy CranK picking Choya after Choya begged to be voted for.

I thought only the first 12 players were voted by the fans and part of the draft choices from the coaches. Then for the 7th pick the coach could choose anyone from the GSTL teams. So Aphrodite was picked ahead of Golden and Seed but Avenge wasn't one of the fan vote winners. (Possibly some Startale bias in picking Avenge out of everyone though).
It looks as though they needed 2 of each race, so as soon as Crank picked Dear and Alicia the Startale coach knew he would get Seed. Similarly the Startale coach knew he would have Aphrodite after Crank picked Gumiho. So the Startale coach's 5th and 6th picks had to be Aphrodite and Seed in some order.

Really happy with the selected players, apart from Golden and Choya I voted for all of them. What surprises me the most though is no Bomber, SuperNova and Ryung. I kind of get Ryung, the spotlight got stolen from him by both MMA and Innovation and he, ironically, has become overshadowed again by other great terrans. But Bomber and SuperNova are staples for their respective teams, well I guess Bomber probably needs the rest, but what about SuperNova.
Well anyway, looking forward to this, hopefully Aphrodite can put up a good show, maybe even pull off the upset.

I think both of them got a lot of votes. But Bomber got health issues and dropped out of Code A. And Code A is a bit more important that this so I can see him passing this anyway.
Life is going to IEM NY that weekend so he isn't in Korea to play this.

Yeah it's fine I can see Life in IEM anyway...It's just making all star less fun=(
Yeah how did Life not make it in here I get the "oo Aphrodite" appeal but honestly is it worth voting for just to see her get slaughtered by a code S player x_x At least Toss girl could win!

This has been answered, but Life is going to IEM NY at the same weekend. And Life is unfortunally not inhuman enough to be in New York and Seoul at once :/
All stars of the hearts from a very much limited pool. I´m not surprised to see a charmer like Seed in there, or other players who are popular, but rarely seen.

For half a year he is not only human but also quite mortal.
So does the relay race mean that every 3 minutes a new player will run to the computer and switch out with the current player? If so that will be awesome to watch and really funny.

i for one voted for aphrodite and am glad that she is in. if barbie prime was among the candidates i would have voted for her too just to see a sexy girl on girl match.

Someone didn't read the pick rules.
If you noticed, they said 12 players were nominated, but 14 were picked (4 from each race, but each team has 3 Protoss players).
If you keep reading, it says they drafted the original 12 nominated players, then were allowed to pick 1 player each that wasn't voted on by the fans (the last 2 Protoss players, Avenge being one of them). So he didn't pick Aphrodite before Avenge because he wanted Aphrodite more than Avenge, he picked her first because the system required that he pick from the 12 first, then he picked Avenge as his bonus player (he could've still wanted Aphrodite more, but it's not a given truth that he did want her more than Avenge).
Marine splitting should have honorary guests Maru and MarineKing to show them how it's done Little bummed Innovation didn't get a better opponent. I would have loved to see a Inno v MMA rematch. Looking forward to this and the placement matches tonight!

You underestimate the SOULTRAP? Which one of these players got to Ro8 this season?

Bomber probably declined - he said he is having health issues and he's taking time off, basically. I assume it is to rest for BlizzCon, since he's definitely going to make top 16.
I am reallly confused on how Life, Ryung and Supernova couldn't make it. I dont understand the excitement about Aphrodite at all. She took the place one of this players. I feel like i was cheated
Is there anywhere the list with final voting results??
