Code S group selections took place on Wednesday and it was the usual hectic fun!
(P)Stats (Z)soO (P)herO (T)aLive had the task of picking first with these the number one seeds!
Stats picked himself (P)Trap to join him in Group A
soO gave himself a mirror match up with (Z)Losira for Group D
herO decided to follow suit and gave himself (P)Dear for Group C
aLive however, decided to mix things up and picked (P)Classic to join him in Group B


Round 2 picks next, starting with Losira in Group D. He went for a wild swing and picked out (T)Maru ! The earliest he has been picked up in these selections for a very long time!
Next Group C and Dear's turn to pick. He went for a Zerg in (Z)Rogue to join him.
Then came Chintoss' pick for Group B and he went for (T)GuMiho
Group A to complete round 2 picks and that was Trap's decision. He picked (Z)ByuL!

Final pick round now! It was back to starting with Group A, so before he had chance to get settled in, ByuL was back up picking. He also wasted no time in raising eyebrows as he picked (T)TY!
Gumiho's turn for the limelight now as he was picking the last played for Group B, he also decided to go big...picking the robot himself (T)INnoVation
Group C and Rogue came up next. He also completed the big 3 terran picks by taking (T)ByuN with him
Finally Maru had just (Z)Dark left to chose and join him over in a packed Group D

It wasn't over yet though! As (P)Stats with his group currently at Stats-Trap-ByuL-TY, was going to swap any two people.
He decided after much deliberation to take (T)TY out of his group and swap him with (T)GuMiho in Group B!

Meaning after a few hours, we had our full Round of 16 set for Season 2 of the GSL!

I think aLive has a strong possibility to get out of his group, if he can TvT his heart out like it's IEM Katowice and WoL. And, don't think he would've picked Classic unless he felt confident in TvP. Then, I haven't been watching many VODs and tournament streams as of late so I'm out of the loop on where these players are currently.

Group A: Stats/GuMiho

Group B: Classic/aLive

Group C: ByuN/Dear

Group D: Maru/soO

Jesus... Group B is just insane right now.

I'm curious as to why a ton players chose to go with mirror match ups though.

Way too early prediction: Final is going to be ByuL vs soO. soO is going to get there by advancing in first then beating herO and INnoVation. ByuL is making the finals by advancing in first and beating TY and Dark. soO wins in the battle of Kongs.

As much as I'm quite fine with this scenario, I'm not optimistic with it :/

I'm afraid Maru might be able to take a spot (maybe even the first place?) from the tried-to-be Zerg group, his play is very inconsistent, but not as if he were bad anyway. This would only leave one place for soO, Dark, or Losira


By the way, who was the English caster/translator for the group selection? It was very nice to follow, very fluent and dynamic!

It won't, TY/Inno and soO/Dark have to be separated in the bracket.

Rip I misread how the groups were broken down for r8.

EDIT: Edited to accommodate proper bracketing. Final stays the same, only one match differs for each player.

Dang those are some bold predictions. Guessing Dear will be first eliminated from his group, and I have a hard time imagining anyone other than Stats and ByuL getting out of GuMiho's group. I would love to see some upsets though! Good luck!

Things that will surprise people that shouldnt:

1. innovation won't survive this group
2. maru won't survive this group
3. if losira wins his first match against soo and maru falls to Dark (very possible), its very likely he can get by on his zvz and zvp until the semis or finals. losira has the easiest path to the finals possible right now
4. stats vs trap should be very competitive. lets also remember that Trap has not lost a televised pvp series since february
5. this is probably one of the most competitive seasons ever in code S and i could be very wrong about predictions. tbh anything can happen in these groups

the hype is so fucking unfathomable and its all totally deserved
make sure u guys are liking and su bscribing to all that GSL shit

its how u get deep in tournaments like this

tvt he can only build the same shit as you, so thats already a huge sigh of relief. if youre the better player, 9/10 times ur confident in the mirror and will beat a lesser player (esp zvz and tvt)

That's not why at all. Stats picked Trap because Trap was considered the weakest player. Same goes for soO with Losira (ZvZ being soO's strongest matchup doesn't hurt either). Dear is very bad at PvP and now you start to understand the real reasons so many of the early picks resulted in mirror matchups. As for group B, it is favorable for Classic to pick a Terran since there was already a Terran in the group (and GuMiho was one of the weakest players remaining (this also means his practice is more efficient)). Once you get to the last four players it's really a matter of personal preference. Everyone is really good at that point.

why do u think Maru won't survive his group? he got only single matchup to practise, that's much more easier preparations in comparison to zerg foes in this group

The grandiose sample size of 1 televised PvP series since February makes that way less impressive.
