I think most if not all the Koreans should make it, with MC and Mvp having the biggest potential to be upset maybe?

That's the spirit. It's going to be tough for the 3 TL players. I'd say TLO has the best chance, but even he's in a tough group

Seems like some good groups. I would like to say that Vortix might make it if he is in good form, but MVP/MMA doing so well.. TLO always has a good chance to make it out, and im interested in seeing what happens in Group B and with Bling in D

you mean revenge vs MMA? He's beaten him the last few times they've met. MMA still has a winning record, but I think the tables have completely turned. Although it's been a looong time since Mvp played a live TvT, so who knows.

Mech has never been stronger and Mvp is a master of mech, it doesn't look good for MMA.

Really cool, well-rounded groups. Both diverse in race and also some with saturation of one race, really cool.

Group A and D both really tough. GL to the foreigners, it'll be tough!

Edit: My Predictions
A: MMA, Mvp
B: Jjakji, Dayshi
C: Stardust, Welmu
D: MC, San

Well they haven't played in awhile and when Mvp won it was just in a ro32. MMA knocked him out in the ro4 of Blizzard Cup 3-0 and beat him in the GSL finals so I think this is still some Mvp revenge time

Even though it was just Ro32, Mvp knocked him out 4-1 in the GSL and MMA fell into code B shortly after, while Mvp went on and almost won G5L. It's MMA who needs to revenge.

Mvp vs. MMA is actually close to 50%, it is just that that 4-1 in the finals stands out a lot so people think MMA has a big edge over Mvp.

Last two times they played Mvp won 2-0 and 2-1. Also, in WoL mech was stronger in theory but good bio player could still do wonders to negate its advantages. With the addition of hellbats and upgrade changes, mech really is superior to bio and since MMA was never a meching player while Mvp basically does only mech in TvT, this time I would definitely give edge to Mvp because if MMA goes bio, he will play from a disadvantage on most maps but if he goes mech he will have to beat Mvp at his own game.

Damn, the Koreans are always so lucky with the groups in WCS EU. They really couldn't complain about getting a group with 3 Koreans, since several of them only finished 2nd in the round of 32. But once again they don't get punished for it.

I'd say MC's chances of being upset are about as high as San's.
It will be interesting to see if all Koreans will make it out or if some Europeans can show some dominance.

I'm pretty sure that Nerchio would have been much happier about a Z or T only group. Considering that ZvP is his weakest matchup historically. Not to mention that he has two Koreans in his group...

i think groups are sorted by ,nationality / team and race (not sure which order). Of course spreading out the koreans would make most sense so each of them has higher chance to go ro8

They are punished by getting paired with top finisher of each group, who is evidently stronger by placing higher. You only have problems with nationality right?

Is it just me or does this crop of players look a bit underwhelming... so many upsets early on that I feel this ro16 could've been so much better. Also, the racial distribution between groups is kind of disappointing. PvT has been awesome to watch recently with the mine buff and less all-ins, so I was looking forward to some epic PvT matchups, but guna have to wait for ro8 I guess.

As far as the groups go, poor Bunny was rooting for him to advance but man is it going to be tough now. If he can play some killer TvT I could see him having a chance against mvp, and if MMA pulls one of his "i'm going to suck for no apparent reason" then maybe he will get lucky.

There are things known, and things unknown, and in-between are the doors.

Exactly, this poster is right.

When you talk about a group of death, it really should be something special.

Life, Innovation, Parting and Flash was a group of death, because these were all obscenely skilled players

In Brood War, there was once a group comprised of Jaedong, Bisu, Flash and Sea. Now that is a fucking group of death

People throw around the term quite loosely, and it really cheapens the value. In Group A, we have Mvp and MMA, who are two of the most accomplished players in SC2. But they are only 50% of the group. Then we have Vortix who is just a good foreigner, and Bunny, who is relatively unaccomplished.

It's more like Half of a Group of Death. Now if you threw Jjakji and MC into that group as well, then you got yourself a Group of Death.

People throw around the term quite loosely, and it really cheapens the value. In Group A, we have Mvp and MMA, who are two of the most accomplished players in SC2. But they are only 50% of the group. Then we have Vortix who is just a good foreigner, and Bunny, who is relatively unaccomplished.

It's more like Half of a Group of Death. Now if you threw Jjakji and MC into that group as well, then you got yourself a Group of Death.


I'll add my voice to this.

Same.

pretty good for TLO, Nerchio and Vortix. they all only have to practise one matchup

I don't think that Nerchio getting a Korean PvZ specialist in San and on top of that MC who's likely to do some unstoppable all-in good for Nerchio at all. ZvP is his weakest match by far as well.

Exactly, this poster is right.

When you talk about a group of death, it really should be something special.

Maybe instead of a Group of Death poll the question should be something like "which group are you most looking forward to". I realize that's not asking exactly the same thing, though. The No Group of Death option is definitely good one to have.

Damn, the Koreans are always so lucky with the groups in WCS EU. They really couldn't complain about getting a group with 3 Koreans, since several of them only finished 2nd in the round of 32. But once again they don't get punished for it.


i think groups are sorted by ,nationality / team and race (not sure which order). Of course spreading out the koreans would make most sense so each of them has higher chance to go ro8


Or maybe they are random? With only 6 koreans in Ro16, it isn't that surprise to not have a 3 KR group...

So how did it go again? MMA > MKP > MVP or something of that sort?

Sure the mma mvp factor is awesome, but realistically mc and san are a lot stronger at the moment. With nerchio that's the real group of death.

Mvp and MMA in the same group! Really hope they get to play each other, but that both manage to get out of the group too.

My prediction: Keep in mind Vortix only has to practice vs Terran and Nerchio and TLO only have to practice vs Protoss, favouring our Zergs quite a bit.

Group A: MVP beats Bunny, Vortix vs MMA I think Vortix eeks it out, as the hardest match for him in the group. Then he should beat MVP and MMA easily deals with Bunny and should proceed to defeat MVP.

Group B: Jjakji vs Grubby could really go either way, Dayshi beats Snute. Grubby could make it out first place if he wins vs Jjakji and then Dayshi, however if he meets Snute he will drop out first. But I think Jjakji should be the small favourite in that matchup and him and Dayshi should make it out.

Group C: Welmu beats BabyKnight, Stardust should eek it out vs TLO even though it's quite a close match. Then I slightly favour Welmu even though it sounds crazy and it really comes down to Stardust and TLO in this group, BabyKnight should drop out first.

Group D: I think Nerchio beats MC, San beats Bling, MC beats Bling, Nerchio beats San in the sickest series evahh and MC beats San.

The good thing for Bunny is that NO ONE would blame him for not making it out of this group. + If he does, the Hype Train is gonna go insane. Win-Win in my book, gogo Denmark !

MKP can also be substituted for Polt because he's 16-7 against MMA but yea the standard was putting polt there

Man the RNG of group making seems to really be sticking it to protoss this season but if it means I get the games I get to see in groups A and B it is 100% worth it. Honestly I am even sort of looking forward to group D since all the players in that group are also really fun players.

Mech has never been stronger and Mvp is a master of mech, it doesn't look good for MMA.

Drops will tear MVP him apart.

Is it just me or does this crop of players look a bit underwhelming... so many upsets early on that I feel this ro16 could've been so much better. Also, the racial distribution between groups is kind of disappointing. PvT has been awesome to watch recently with the mine buff and less all-ins, so I was looking forward to some epic PvT matchups, but guna have to wait for ro8 I guess.

As far as the groups go, poor Bunny was rooting for him to advance but man is it going to be tough now. If he can play some killer TvT I could see him having a chance against mvp, and if MMA pulls one of his "i'm going to suck for no apparent reason" then maybe he will get lucky.



It's just you, this round of 16 looks awesome to me.

Terrible race distribution, but pretty even in skill. Should be some interesting games, shame there's hardly any PvT though.

A: Mvp and MMA
B: Jjakji and Dayshi
C: Stardust and Babyknight
D: MC and San

Guess we'll make up for the lack of PvT in the Ro16 with plenty in the RO8...

Advancing in 1st place from 6 out of 7 WCS groups. The 2nd-best record vs. Terran than any other player in the group according to Aligulac (and only 2nd-best by a margin of nine hundredths of a percent). Victory over MMA in a Bo5 last time they played offline. Consistent high-level performance against Korean opponents.

You mark my words, Vortix WILL advance from the Group of Death.

I honestly think he's got a good shot too. Starcraft has gotten so competitive all of the tournaments have been awesome lately. So many good players, so many good games! Man, it's good to be a starcraft player/spectator!!
