The Code S round of 16 groups have been determined following Thursday night's live Group Nomination show (watch the VODs on YouTube). Groups A & D (March 8-9) will be played following IEM Katowice, while Groups B & C (March 20 & 23) will be played after another break for WESG.
*AfreecaTV has revised the schedule and changed the order of the groups. Please reconfirm if you were planning to watch a specific group or player.
Group A:Everyone thought himself can advance. Group B:Maybe Dark calm down this time, but result is not consistent.Dear and herO are good at PvZ. Croup C:Classic Trap Innovation sOs Group D:sOs was so lucky that he did not fall in Group D.
Lol, be INnoVation and literally direct 100% of your whining at Protoss, get in a group w/ 3 protoss. RIP
A: Maru &... Patience? Should be Maru > Impact, Patience > Bunny right? Then Bunny > Impact, Patience > Bunny. I don't recall Bunny's TvP being as strong as his TvZ B: Dark Dear. herO still doesn't seem to be playing particularly well, and I favor Dear > Cure. C: Classic Inno, I think Trap and sOs don't have the best PvT. I'd probably favor sOs > Classic head to head, so it'll depend on the bracket D: Everybody loses except the audience. Betting TY Rogue, since I think TY has stronger TvT than Gumi and all around good TvZ, while Rogue should be favored against Gumiho and against soO.

Well, the group selection format makes it almost impossible for the #1 seed to get a bad group since you get TWO unquestioned picks. Tough shit for TY tho
I dont like Maru get the easiest group while Rogue get the hardest group again. Even though Rogue may survives, his mind will be shattered and his beast mode will be toned down just like the two previous code s series before the semifinal.

TY has hard groups every season. At this point he should be used to it.

I mean if Zest beat Patience, Fantasy beat Impact, and Stats got out of his group, there would be no easy group for Maru to make.
Besides, he is guaranteed an elite ro.8 opponent unless Cure gets through.

He made herO look worthless in the Ro32. Don't think Maru is worried about anyone in group B except for Dark.

He was afraid that if he gets the weaker, Maru will replace him with second hardest player in his group, so he picked the one in the "middle range"

Same thing goes for Gumiho when he picked soO. He wasn't the weakest player available to pick by far...

At the same time I think he's only lost in a single group stage out of every LotV tournament. The only group I recall him losing in is GSL S1 ro16 last year.
