Group E has 3 GSL finalists and still might not be the most stacked group. Groups C and G look pretty strong too. It's also great to see Scarlett in group F!

It's pretty funny that Innovation gets classified as a "tier 4" player when he won the most recent KR tournament :>

I'd say Group E is the toughest group. Scarlett should have a solid chance to get through, but she is not a favorite to do so.

Finally \o/

I think Scarlett can do it, but it won't be easy.

B, D, and G are the strongest groups. Can't wait for another attempt at ByuL vs Bogus (damn Stats..)

Pretty doable groups for ByuN & Scarlett.

Group E is just all kinds of disgustingly strong, with Dark as a safe pick to advance.

Really excited to see how NightMare and DRGLing do in their respective groups as underdogs.
The faster caster. @RAPiDCasting

Her group seems very doable. Myungsik is an Overwatch player now, Alive is inconsistent at best, and she showed she can beat the best Protoss in Korea when she 2-1'd Stats. I'm glad she's in one of the early afternoon groups so her NA fans can watch.

Scarlett can totally make it out of her group. I would say that ZvP is her strongest matchup at the moment (she just beat stats 2-1), so it's very realistic that she can get first or second in her group.

Does anyone know whether Scarlett's group will be played at a reasonable NA hour? I remember Blizzard saying that some groups will be played at a more foreigner-friendly hour this year.

Probably based off of GSL points earned last year, which is why Innovation is so low despite having just won IEM.

I'm quite content with the racial distribution among the groups, that should ensure we have some variety in the ro16 as well. I'd be more than happy, though, if most terrans made it through.

Literally every GSL since 20-goddamn-10 has been at 3-4 am for me. You have absolutely 0 right to complain. Get some passion.

Losira now uses his ID with a lower case L? Now he's just trying to annoy people. A lot of really cool groups, especially excited for groups E and H.

Also this is the 4th Code S in a row where Zest is in group A in the Ro32, this is not a coincidence, is it?

Stats in GSL is not much chop usually. Hopefully his SSL form transfers over now or something.

My Predictions!

A: Zest > Rogue > KeeN > Bunny
B: Maru > GuMiho > herO > NightMare
C: Curious > soO > sOs > Billowy
D: Innovation > Byul > Forte > losira
E: Dark > Cure > Leenock > Jjakji
F: Classic > aLive > Scarlett > Myungsik
G: Stats > Byun > Ryung > DRGLing
H: Solar > TY > Trap > Armani

Also, any news on what map pool GSL will use? I like this current pool but GSL goes til March and I don't know if I feel like watching this map pool until then! Also wondering if GSL is picking up any random maps like they usually tend to do.

Also, any news on what map pool GSL will use? I like this current pool but GSL goes til March and I don't know if I feel like watching this map pool until then! Also wondering if GSL is picking up any random maps like they usually tend to do.

Just an fyi Bunny/jjakji are both actually really good right now


Well, maybe Bunny could beat Keen but I don't see him advancing over Zest or Rogue. As for Group E, Dark is easy #1 and honestly the other 3 to me are kind of a toss up, I just think Cure will edge it out in the end.

Zest has been slipping in PvT lately. Shocking considering how he started this year with some of the best MU stats we've ever seen. He's gone back to his HotS PvT. I'm going with the Bunny upset, that guy's been good for awhile now.

Bunny can definitely beat Rogue.

Bunny can beat rogue and/or zest if it was a single Best of 1. But I think you guys forget it's 2 (or 3) best of 3s. No way Bunny makes it out of the group.

Yeah, Bunny might indeed be the favorite in that group. Although I guess we don't really see enough of Rogue to know how he's doing atm. Unless Zest seriously upgraded his PvT he's gonna have his hands full even making it out of this group.

Group E has 3 GSL finalists and still might not be the most stacked group. Groups C and G look pretty strong too. It's also great to see Scarlett in group F!



Last time jjakji and Leenock saw the GSL finals was still in WOL.
