Most of the groups are very close; a lot of the underdogs are very dangerous. G and H are the least interesting ones; unless Shine really does have some kind of magic over Soulkey, sOs/Soulkey and herO/Innovation should make it easily. I also give Maru and Rain a very strong chance of advancing though second place in their groups is not so easy. | ||

Squirtle has not looked strong at ALL lately, and Leenock is simply not on Inno's level right now. He might (probably will) lose to CJ herO, but the rest of the group can't keep up with him. Leenock not on Inno's level? TvZ is Leenock's best MU and, right now, Inno's worst. He went 2-1 against Dark getting into Code A. Thin line between 2-1 and 1-2. So unless you think Dark and Leenock are on different levels... herO is an easy pick for first place, but second will be a battle.

Vehement disagree. S1-3 last year were impossibly stacked. Now, though, is a different story. Too many Protoss and Zerg nobodies coming out of the woodworks and not getting turned down at the Code S door. A: Zest/Bbyong/watch B: SoO/Trap/not watch C: Rain/Symbol/maybe watch D: Life/Classic/not watch E: Maru/DRG/maybe watch F: PartinG/Suno/watch G: Soulkey/sOs/watch H: herO/Inno/watch 4 terrans in RO16? My god, what if Rain is placed in a group with three of them?! | ||

B: Soo, Trap. C: Rain, Stork. D: Life, Classic. E: Maru, Myungsik(KT fanboy ism). F: Parting, Supernova. G: sOs, Soulkey. H: Hero, Innovation. If most of these guys advance, ro16 should be pretty stacked. | ||

Bbyong/Dark, i can go hard, right? Zest will bomb out instantly into Code B after it. soO against drew Trap l0l, i start to think that they're choosing each other before events. Anyway, both to advance, poor TRUE ): Stork got best group to advance lol. Rain and Symbol, sadly for Ruin no Terrans in this group. SICKEST GROUP D. Rogue could win whole season, but ofc he had to get Life and Hydra in his group in Ro32. Classic and Life to advance. Considering that there are 2 Protosses, Maru advances, DRG will advance as well i guess, raw skill difference should play here. Solar again drew hard group but Byul bombed out against HyuN and Revival already, so taking PartinG and Solar isn't bad idea i guess. sOs-SoulKey!!!! FINALLY <3333 Both to advance, idc who will be first and second. And H is sick. InNoVation and Squirtle to advance, herO is choking a lot nowdays. Poor Leenock though. 6-7-3 distribution in Ro16? Seems legit. | ||

SuperNova has an easy first match and I think he could take out Byul with his intelligent mech play but Parting is another story. At first glance Innovation vs herO seems like innovation will lose out but Innovation is 11-3 against hero in games and 6-1 in Sets. Yet so much has changed for both players. I think Innovation will end up losing to herO but i'd strongly favour Inno against Leenock and Squirtle. So I'm guessing 3 terrans advance with SuNo being the terran ro.32 sacrifice. The problem for innovation is that hero won last time they played, and the last time Innovation beat him was nearly 8 months ago | ||

+ Show Spoiler [Group A] + TAiLS and Dark will advance because they are the only players with A's in their IDs. TAiLS will get first because his A is a capital letter. Bbyong will edge out Zest in the loser's match because his vowel, o, is slightly closer to an a than e is. This leads to a rematch of Bbyong vs Dark. Bbyong will take a map the second time because the a in dark looks more like an o than an A. Zest 0-2 TAiLS Dark 2-0 Bbyong TAiLS 2-1 Dark Zest 1-2 Bbyong Dark 2-1 Bbyong TAiLS and Dark to advance. + Show Spoiler [Group B] + None of the players have a B in their name. Lowercase b is basically an upside down p, and that means Trap is favored. B has a lot of curves and a vertical line, sort of like g and u, more so g because rotating the g and removing the extra curve leaves a b-shaped character. However, Ragnarok also has an R, which is close to a B. soO will bomb out because his name has no straight lines. So… soO 0-2 Ragnarok True 0-2 Trap Ragnarok 2-1 Trap soO 0-2 True True 0-2 Trap Ragnarok and Trap to advance. + Show Spoiler [Group C] + OF COURSE, this group has Rain and Ruin which are just one letter apart. With not much to go on in this group (none of the letters are close), I predict Stork because K makes the same sound as a C sometimes. I guess u is a sideways c, so I'll predict Ruin as second. Rain 0-2 Stork Ruin 2-1 Symbol Stork 2-1 Ruin Rain 1-2 Symbol Ruin 2-1 Symbol Stork and Ruin to advance. + Show Spoiler [Group D] + Hydra is the clear favorite, as he has a d in his name. D is composed of a straight vertical line and a large 180 degree curve. R has both of those, as does u (depending on how it's written). Classic has both as well with C's and an l and i, but they are separate. Life 0-2 Rogue Hydra 2-0 Classic Rogue 0-2 Hydra Life 0-2 Classic Rogue 2-1 Classic Hydra and Rogue to advance. + Show Spoiler [Group E] + ParalyzE and DongRaeGu advance, DRG in second because some people forget about the e in his name. Maru has no letters close to an e, but Myungsik is bound to have one somewhere, so he'll get third. Maru 1-2 Myungsik ParalyzE 2-1 DRG Myungsik 0-2 Paralyze Maru 0-2 DRG Myungsik 0-2 DRG ParalyzE and DRG to advance. + Show Spoiler [Group F] + Why can't we have more groups like group H of code A (Flash, Hydra, Shine, some other guy)? F has three straight lines. Solar barely even has 3 straight lines in it, ByuL has 6-7ish, PartinG has 7-8ish, SuperNoVa has 9 or so. The numbers occasionally lie. PartinG 2-1 ByuL Solar 0-2 SuperNoVa PartinG 1-2 SuperNoVa ByuL 2-0 Solar PartinG 2-1 ByuL SuperNoVa and PartinG to advance. + Show Spoiler [Group G] + YongHwa is the only one with a g in his name so he gets first place. G is a letter which has both straight lines and curves. Shine is the only one with letters such as these. Soulkey has a u and a y which don't really count that much but certainly more than the all-curve sOs. sOs 0-2 Shine YongHwa 2-0 Soulkey YongHwa 2-0 Shine sOs 1-2 Soulkey Shine 2-0 Soulkey YongHwa and Shine to advance. + Show Spoiler [Group H] + herO has an h so he advances. However, how important is that compared to the perpendicular straight lines in H but not in h? INnoVation and Leenock have these, Leenock less so, so this group will be pretty much determined in the first match. herO 2-1 INnoVation Leenock 2-1 Squirtle herO 2-0 Leenock INnoVation 2-0 Squirtle INnoVation 2-1 Leenock herO and INnoVation to advance. | ||

Zest is the best protoss in the world and Bbyong, as unlikely as it seems, is a top 3 Terran. He's been absolutely tearing it up. He's been playing far better than Innovation. and Tails? :D | ||

Dark > Leenock Zest > herO Bbyong = Innovation Tails = Squirtle (Squirtle looked pretty terrible lately so he could arguably be worse) | ||
