Wow, I think these groups are fairly even. Anyone, outside of the expected players to advance, could have a shot at getting into Ro16. Maybe could exclude Group G depending on what form herO is in because Dark is surely going to advance (right?).
Damned ... not so happy for Jin Air's first matches ... sOs vs. Super? tough, tough, tough PvP for sOs ... Rogue vs. aLive? damned damned damned ZvP for Rogue Maru vs. soO? what does the SKT coach want to do with soO this year? Cure vs. Stats? ehm. OK.

Maru had better results in GSL last year.
Look at the source link, they have tier 1/2/3/4 points just based on 2016 GSL season 1 results.
So Maru and Stats both have 200, and there're many 200 - some get into tier 3 and some get into tier 4. Also some 300 get into tier 2 and some in tier 3.
Hope someone understand Korean can tell if they said something in the article about this - just curious.
Luckily those "tier 3/4" but actual super good players like Stats Maru Patience Byun all get a very good draw. Only sOs falls into a difficult group.

Can't argue with results.
guys thats not what the tier is about, it seems to be about how far you got in season 1. the 8 players who reached the RO8 in season 1 and got seeded into code s season 2 are tier 1, if you reached the RO 16 you're tier 2, if you reached the RO 32 you're tier 3 (unless noone in your group reached the RO 16, then you might also be tier 2. 3rd or 4th place in your RO 32 group doesnt seem to matter), if you didnt make code s in season 1 you're tier 4
EDIT: ah ok didnt see the source link with the points. makes sense with Code A - 200 RO 32 - 300 RO 16 - 450 etc. and also explains the groups for example that zest from the top of the list is in a group with MC from the very bottom of the list

Yeah. That's why i said it. His results are a RO8. There are 8 groups. Would be pretty gay balls if multiple RO8 players could end up in the same group.
Oh how I wish this was still pre-LotV TvZ with the possibility of Taeja vs soO on the table. They only ever met once and at Blizzcon. It turned out to be one of the best TvZ series ever.
Anway, if Taeja still gives a crap I see Dark as the only Zerg making it out of a group. Maybe ByuL if he stops losing to Patience and actually adapts to LotV.
would be interesting to know how exactly the groups / that ranking (of players with the same points) are made. group a is kinda straight forward with rank 1 of tier 1 & 2 and rank 8 of tier 3 & 4 but cant really see a pattern for the rest. we need incontrol to crunch the numbers !
Ok Losira, let's get it together and bring all 4 KT Bois into the Ro16. Won't happen, I know....
Difficult times for the zergs...IMO: Group A: Don't think Solar can beat Zest or Gumiho - perhaps MC, but he is still the underdog. Group C: Byun, Classic are stronger than Losira and most likely get out of the group. Seed/Losira are the same - really inconsistent plays. Group D: Maru #1. Rest somewhat depend on Taeja - retired/still training? Also everything is possible in ZvZ - slight edge to soO there. Group E: No way Impact has any impact at all in his group. Other 3 are magnitudes stronger atm. Group F: aLive and Ryung should be the main contenders for #1 & #2 (based on TvT). BUT: Rogue has to prepare for ZvT only. He has a shot for sure - at least we get some good games. Group G: Dark for sure. Rest is soso, even herO with some problems lately. Group H: Byul slumping hard atm. Dear and Patience have the best chances.

It says if players are tied in results this year the one who had better results last year is placed in the higher tier (should there be room left in the higher tier).
Overall very balanced groups, all really strong as well. It's not often a Group of Death is unidentifiable in ro32. We need MC to fuck everyone in ro16.

Bad for Rogue (ZvT obviously). Bad for Cure (his TvZ and TvT are better).

TaeJa has retired, but he has not "actually retired". It is like MC, who has retired, or some other players. Somebody mentioned in some video, that somebody has retired and he meant "actually retired" = "really retired".

And the closest groups don't have the biggest names
I'd define it as a stacked group, and the one that has the highest likelihood that a player who was pretty much universally expected to do well in the tournament drops out prematurely. So not group A.
I don't think there really is a group of death, but some of these aren't that straightforward. Group B and E for example each have 3 players who could realistically advance in my opinion, even though by names there are huge favorites in both.
I guess Group A is considered as group of death becase there are 4 fan favorites in this group. But yeah 1st place is definetely going to Zest and 2nd place probably to Gumiho.
Nice, Byun got a pretty good chance of advancing out of his group for sure.
Ok, we know Taeja will retire after this GSL. But what if, what if he gets into ro8 again this season? I say there's a pretty good chance he will still show up next year unless he gets called up to the army.

Taeja is "actually retired". He just didn't see a reason to forfeit his GSL spot. Might as well give it a shot while he's still in it.
MC only retired because he couldn't get a team, so he decided to try his hand at becoming a professional streamer. When he got the opportunity he came back.
i was hoping MC would maki it to RO16 but in this group chances are slim even thou he is a wildcard and surprise everyone and pass. maybe he will do his whale celebration after beating zest again
