I think ShowTime getting group D is super tough, really unlucky to be getting the group of death

Group A should be fun, I think everyone except for Trigger has a real chance of making it out (Scarlett probably won't but she can show up big on any given day. Solar is a big favorite but otherwise it should be very competitive.

Group B is a bit of a rough draw for Clem, even if I think his TvT has improved enough to be favored over Oliveira and Bunny. Clem and Cure should still easily advance though.

Group C is an amazing draw for Serral, second place seems pretty clearly Byun favored, and I can see any of the remaining four players snagging the third spot. Hope Firefly shows up big offline, his playstyle is a lot of fun.

Group D is ridiculous. Since Reynor is probably going to peak for Katowice and herO has been week offline I think Maru/Dark/Reynor are getting out.

I think we'll have 1 toss in the playoffs from group C. Really wish Classic had qualified.

Group D...WOW! It's too bad they don't do these things like the old GSL-style group draws, those were highly entertaining and also introduced some interesting game theory and player selection intrigue.

Group A and C are quite the jokes while group B and D are killers

The only Protoss that I can see making it out of their group is whoever gets the best of the mirror matches in Group C.

In Groups A and B, Trigger and Stats are unlikely to finish anywhere other than bottom.

In Group D, I'd definitely expect Dark, Maru and Reynor to progress.

It's unfortunate cuz he would be an even stronger contender in group A and C rather than D

Feels like ESL doesn't like the concept of "group draws" at all, not only in SC2 but in general. Never understood why they don't make more of a spectacle out of it, if you compare it to LoL.
The fact that this time we get to see how the seeding was done is probably the most upfront ESL ever was in these :D

Zero Zerg in Serral group and zero Terran in Maru group, ESL definitely making them feel better about their mirror matchup until the later rounds.

Serral going for 10-0 once again.

All the groups have a clear 3 favourites, except maybe D depending on how good herO looks.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

This is the highest non-World championship prize pool tournament in the history of SC2 due to changes to the ESL circuit structure.
very illegal and very uncool

Serral gets another hilariously easy group (for him). What a surprise. Call me when he gets into a group like group D (where he would most likely not make it out)
