I don't think Stats could have made a worse group for himself.

Inno has such an easy route to the ro4. Only maybe Dark can stop him? But then Dark would have to get 2nd in his group (unlikely)

Group B seems like the closest but the matches look quite straight forward. soO can't ZvT and TY can't TvDark

Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Stats...what have you done...(perhaps I could blame Trap?)

Side note: I kinda wish Classic ended up in Group D so it would be all protoss and all sharing same surname 'Kim'.

Then you just made a group of death even deadly (or probably the deadest ever considering the randomness of PvP), all those "Kim" are finalist level player as they are the best Protoss atm.
Instead of seeing which Kim is best Kim, I want to see a lot of them in Ro.8 at least, so thank god one Kim is missing here.
sOs is THE ONLY player I pay attention to

Scarlett can maybe beat Zest. Other than that, no hope.

Great coverage! Really enjoyed the read.
It's the first time i understand the format of the group nomination!
I really like the groups, especially group b and c. Im not sure if i will watch group d cuz of obvious reasons

Group Selections - always the funniest part of each GSL season ... and as a reasult, Group of D(eath).

Now this is the real deal. I don't think there was such a deep analysis of the selection since the glorious Mvp heist. It might be all completely unrelated to what went through the players' heads, but it is fun nevertheless!

I think Gumiho doesn't care too much about an easy group. He wants to play strong opponents. I agree with him, that it doesn't matter too much how strong your group is as you will face tough opponents later on anyways if you win.

I don't see him advancing, but if he masteres pvp, maybe he can get very far.

Am I the only one that things D isn't the group of death? B and C are harder imo
