Obviously group D is the highlight. I'm happy to see all those Toss are split up, so there won't be to much PvP. | ||

But I've a feeling it will be GumiMech and 7 toss in the Ro8 | ||

Gumigod. Strongest overall Terran recently. Soo one of the best performing zergs this year and a really long pedigree of deep runs. As deep as possible without winning Dear has looked really good all year wrong. Maybe showed the second best form of any toss after classic. And Parting was a former world champion and can come up with strange aggressive builds that just randomly win vs anyone. Group B is really strong. | ||

on another note, my prayer has been heard: 2 protoss in each group means minimal PvP in the Ro16. also, kudos for classic for not switching players. | ||

Group B is really strong. Was about the post the same. Much as I want PartinG to lose (he just annoys me  ) he seems to be on an upward form curve and is probably real hungry after making ro16, which means he'll be a pain in the ass to play against. SoO also dangerous now that he's free from the kong curse. Gumi and Dear like you said. Gonna be an intense and super fun group to watch I think.Man am I glad FanTa and Special didn't end up in that group OR group D. They pretty much got as good groups as they could have without facing each other. Best consolation possible for me after Scarlett didn't make it through  | ||

A - Classic, Hurricane B - Dear, soO C - Trap, herO D - Stats, Dark soO and Dark end up eliminated in the ro8 giving us the perfect racial balance of 4 Protoss in the final 4. But Patience winning his group 4-0 and looking like a literal god, Tasteless only to lose 0-3 in the Ro8 is the ultimate Patience thing to do, so there is a decent chance it happens. | ||

Hoping that PartinG can pull through his group, but it's probably wishful thinking. | ||

However I think the selection still would've gone differently if the other players didn't have to fear having the weakest player swapped out of their group if they picked him, no? | ||

Dark, on the other hand, got the short end of the stick again. He said that he didn't want a tough group this time. He then proceeded to choose the player that beat Maru and INno to grab the 1st place spot in his Ro32 group. | ||

When there were still many players to pick, he just went and picked Innovation. However i believe had he picked an easier opponent, Classic would have screwed this group with a switch anyway. | ||

However i believe had he picked an easier opponent, Classic would have screwed this group with a switch anyway. I don't see how Group D would end up with Innovation had Patience picked someone else. Classic would switch anyone in his group to bring Fantasy or Hurricane in, so choosing Impact or Dear would be safe from a swap. Ragnarok is unlikely going to pick Inno given his TvZ, so even Patience picking Fantasy or Hurricane into D means Hero or maybe Soo is likely to return in a swap. + Show Spoiler + If P picks Fantasy, Hurricane is still #3 in A and would likely choose Hero (weak vP) or Soo (Hurricane is strongest vs Z) who would then return in the Swap. Patience picking Hurricane is a chance for Ragnarok to take Hero or Fantasy, with Hero prefering Fantasy, and Fantasy likely to prefer Soo or Hero. Given Stats, Soo, Inno, and Hero, I think you take your chances with Hero. Now Stats, as the strongest and most balanced draftable (non-seed) Protoss in a field with 8 Protoss, was likely to end up picked near last and thus into Group C/D. Dear is certain to avoid him as the 4th player in Group B and prefer Inno, even over soO. In a 4D Chess move, I wonder if Patience drafted the strongest player possible thinking he was the player Classic most wanted to swap into Group A (because everyone picks on him in past group nominations), and then it backfired spectacularly. Patience:"No, wait!, I am way worse than Hurricane! Swap me! Remember how Maru used to always beat me?" Classic:"Nope, you beat Maru just now, I couldn't, enjoy a group with the two other players who beat Maru recently+Dark." | ||
