Crazy to see that Afreeca Freecs has as many players here as JAGW. I don't remember the last time a team has had as much representation as them.

All the new Code-S players are so screwed though, but excited to see if they can make something happen. I think Astrea has a very small chance if he plays Impact/Stats, but Zoun and Prince are going to have a hard time.
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

Code S & Super Tournament. It doesn't say how ties are broken but I imagine it's 2019 GSL results in those cases.

Also still no audience until further notice.

Groupe E is the group of life. Group of death hard to say. Maybe D by default

Gonna be tough for Special and Astrea. Scarlett should pull through if no shenanigans happen.

D is definitely the most evenly matched group and about as much of a group of death as you can really get in the first round these days. No outcome would be all that surprising. Dark should've been there instead of sOs to make it the true group D of death

I think every group except D has 2 clear favorites, so let's see how many of them get upset

Lol soO comes in second once more

Group D group of Death again, only by a hair though.

Looking far into the future:

Zest, soO
Dark, Stats
Solar, Rogue
Dear, sOs
Maru, Scarlett
Trap, Ragnarok

Group A looks like the group of death to me. Zest is top 3 protoss, soO is a top 3 Zerg, and Special is easily round of 16 talent. Overall, I think the groups look solid.

In theory, it looks good for Scarlett to get out of the group, despite the fact that she has to practice three matchups. Astrea and Special both have to practice two matchups, but they got harder groups. Fingers crossed Astrea and Special can put together some sick builds to advance.

We did have (5) at Season 1 of GSL 2018. The schedule table was updated to V2 back then.

Holy cow! Astrea made it in! 3 Foreigner hype!!

Also, really glad Taeja qualified again.

This will be a really good group stage.

Group F looks considerably more difficult than most of the other groups except for maybe Group D but I wouldn't call any of them Groups of Death exactly.

Excited to see Zoun in GSL five years after he debuted for Prime in Proleague.
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

Group of death feels like group D but I am more interested in discussing group of LIFE?

I mean on the surface group E looks ripe with Scarlett (whom recently doesn't seem so confident in her standard play) vs Armani and Prince. But then group F, Patience, Bunny and Ragnarok. Sure on paper Ragnarok is favored but he has been so shaky historically, anyone of them could make it.

And then lastly group C, just hear me out, sure Solar and Rogue are the standard clear favorites here but they are also zergs that are renowned for dropping the ball at times. They are not really safe best to advance and up against them we have Super and Taeja, two old names that could make this group interesting!

I actually do think C is more a group of death than D. Whether or not Rogue is in form or still in post-world champion mode, seeing him lose here would be a surprise at Ro24. However, Taeja being Taeja and also his performance last season makes me want him to advance, but I would still be surprised to not see Solar in Ro16 at least. D is good, I know DRG and Dream both have shown form and people would be happy to see them through, but I feel them not making it to Ro16 is less a shock than those three in C.

How can anyone say SpeCial doesn't have a good chance, after he literally beat Zest to qualify in the first place? I could see:

Zest 2-0 Zoun
soO 2-0 SpeCial
soO 2-1 Zest
SpeCial 2-0 Zoun
SpeCial 2-1 Zest

I'm happy to see GSL back again!!!

On the other hand, jaws were dropped when I saw Group D - what an even group!

This GSL will be played on the new patch right? I wonder how much that'll make or break the races...

Thank you. Is this a new format? I know the top 4 players from the previous season automatically qualify into next season's GSL. But I don't remember those top 4 going straight to group stage 2 (Ro 16) :S

It's the format since this year, yes. Mirrors the format of their BW league ASL.

Not trying to be pessimistic, but if you look at those who have came back from military, don't really give you the impression that they come back stronger or even regain their old form.

Most of those comeing back didn t realy practise while they were in military. The first one, who ll be an indicator on what to expect from returnees that kept playing, is going to be Byun I think

They do what they need to win. Remember when Jaedong was forced to cheese her out of that finals because he was being destroyed straight up?

Since most of the RO16 qualifier are almost out, hence would to create a assumption bracket from the S1 champion point of view. U guys feel free to supplement and update.

Group A: TY, Zest, Solar, Dream,
Group B: Inno, Dark, Trap, Ragnarok
Group C: Parting, Special, DRG, Maru
Group D: Cure, Stat, Rouge, Scarlett

Above is my point of view for the RO16 group selection, based on the following criteria:

* each group contained of 3 different races, and 1 repeated race.
* assumming the final RO24 qualifier are Trap and Ragnarok.
* One group of death, which should contained the most strongest player, in this case of group B

if im TY, I have to ensure to path to RO8 is secure. hence will have to make use of the S1 champion authorization to swap the candidate according to my wish. In this case, tje player within "my group" will be more weaker compare to others group
