The GSL Group Selection ceremony took place today, determining the groups for the upcoming Round of 16. The four players with seeds (first picks) were, in order:

(Z)Life (2015 GSL S1 Champion)
(P)PartinG (2015 GSL S1 Runner-up)
(P)herO[jOin] (2015 KeSPA Cup 1 Champion)
(T)INnoVation (2014 GSL S3 Champion)

Group C: (P)herO (T)Dream (Z)Curious (Z)ByuL
Group D: (P)PartinG (T)GuMiho(Z)Rogue (T)FanTaSy

As reigning champion, Life was given the ability to swap two players. He chose to swap (T)FanTaSy (previously in Group A) with (T)Bomber (previously in Group D), thus finalizing the groups.

oof looks tough for Life. Maru and Bomber are very, very good and MyuNgSiK is super tricky.

I really don't understand why Life didn't changed Maru with a weaker opponent? This decision (replacing Fantasy with Bomber, and keeping Maru) I am afraid it will turn and bite him...

All groups are stacked as hell. Good matches ahead.
Life won like 200k and didn't hire a proper criminal lawyer.

My take on it is that he expects to still go through in first place (possibly with Bomber beating Maru once) but wanted to have Maru in his group so they wouldn't be on the same side of the bracket in the playoffs, making sure Life vs Maru couldn't happen before the finals. (also Bomber said TvZ is his worst and he's known for his TvT)

Honestly, he has had more trouble with Fantasy than with Maru in the past. I can't say for certain why he didn't switch Maru out, but it's entirely possible he feels that Fantasy is a risky curveball whereas Maru is a known quantity. Bomber and Myungsik he can handle for sure, though, so I don't think he'll struggle.

This is stacked as hell...
Every group has one, potentially two contenders for the title, dayum.

Damn, if Bomber will be able to advance from this group, I can definitely see him go all the way for the trophy.

Also, Life doesn't give a single fork about facing difficult opponents

Pretty happy with all groups. All groups seem to have the X factor players to make very interesting and chaotic games.

that actually makes a lot of sense. maybe Life can practice with Bomber (old startale brothers) and together they might kick out Maru before Ro8?

also how is group B not the group of death by a landslide?

Not a single Terran will go through. #TheDream
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

The only things that resembles death in group B is the players careers.

INnoVation has been getting countered recently as he's becoming more predictable, sOs is in somewhat of a slump showing some terrible performances, Rain's skill is going down ever since ex-KesPa, Bbyong is good but doesn't have that championship prestige that a name like Life gives.
