[GSL] August Code S Group Selections

John: "I miss Jack"....... awww

John and Wolf are going to compete to see who can get the highest Starfox score.

John: "No matter how many Terrans there are, Nestea's going to win."

Nestea: There are some players who shouldn't be in Code S and I'm going to pick them

Wolf can read the future, and correctly predicts that Nestea will pick Kyrix. Nestea picks Kyrix into Group A

Kyrix kinda agrees with Nestea that he doesn't deserve Code S, making Nestea feel guilty for calling him out...

The background music is ruining esports!

Losira picks Ensnare into Group H

HongUn was contemplating retirement, but a single fan who always came to the studio changed his mind.

HongUn puts himself into Group G and picks Virus

HongUn chose Virus because he was sitting next to him while waiting for broadcast to start.

Byun is very happy because he got his puppy. He's going to bring it to this week's GSTL match

Byun puts himself into Group E. This is because he has an affinity for that particular group. See last season. Byun fake-chooses MVP and quickly switches to Zenio

Zenio to Byun: "Do you really want me to play against me?"

Korean casters to MC: "Did you see Nestea win three times?"
MC: "No."

MC: "Nestea is nicknamed God, and I'm nicknamed Kratoss. Kratoss kills Gods."

MC puts himself in Group B. He wants to wants to face Nestea either in Ro16 or Finals.

MC chooses MVP, who he considers easy. Also because, he wants MVP to eliminate Nestea in Ro16.

John: Rumors say MVP has stopped practicing at the teamhouse because he has gotten a girlfriend.

Trickster puts himself into Group F and chooses Ryung.

John is secretly plotting to get MKP to Blizzcon so that MKP's sister will go as well and be on the same plane as him. Sneaky sneaky.

CoCa puts himself into Group D and chooses Keen.

CoCa said he's going to drink a 1.5 litre Coke bottle if he beats Keen as a revenge ceremony after Keen beat him in GSL May.

John tries to lie to us by claiming he's never played Yugioh.

By default, Bomber goes into Group C

Bomber actually told Wolf in the only time they've ever talked that he is the best player in the world... in English

Bomber chooses Violet

The music is STILL ruining esports!

At the end of the first round of picks:


Highlights during the break: TOP fooling around by poking/nudging Zenio. HongUn brings his book on screen.

John: "I've got an announcement to make. I'm getting married next month.... just kidding!". Proceeds to detail stream details for qualifiers tomorrow. He will be back doing interviews!

Player voted by players who plays least attention during practice: Byun, who plays with his puppy and surfs the internet during game.

Player voted by players who likes sexy stories the most: Zenio

Ensnare picks July.

Jay, the producer, makes some weird fart noises.

Virus picks Clide.

Clide reminds us that everyone who had picked him in other seasons dropped out of GSL: Idra, Jinro, MKP. He sounds so threatening when saying it.

Ryung still envious of MMA. Says it would have been better if Boxer won the MLG Code S seed.

John: "He (MMA) is definitely more handsome than you, Wolf."

Ryung picks Alive.

John doesn't want Ryung to go to Blizzcon, unless he has a hot sister too.

John is too shy to ask for MKP's phone number, despite having SlayerSBoxer's number.

Zenio picks asd.

John with the life tips: "You shouldn't trust your feeling sometimes. Remember Emperor had a feeling that Luke Skywalker would turn to the darkside."

Keen picks NaDa.

NaDa has been following Keen very closely.

NaDa's going to beat Keen and CoCa and drink both (Keen Cider and Coca Cola).

Violet picks Huk.

MC stands-in for Huk and attempts to speak English a little bit, but only says "Thank you". /sigh

MVP knew that MC was going to pick him.

MVP (Losira standing in for him) picks Polt.

John plays Yugioh with 1 eye closed.

Kyrix picks MMA.

At the end of the second round of picks:


Highlights from second break: a big bunch of players standing around the board discussing who else to pick. HongUn still holding his book as he talks with Clide.

John dropping the life tips to Wolf again: "When you make jokes, you don't brag about it."

Player voted by players as most vain/handsome (?? sorry I didn't catch it): Virus

Player voted by players as most likely to win this season: Zenio (wtf?)

MMA (Ryung standing in for him) picks Happy

Ryung says that even if he chooses someone who MMA doesn't want to play, it's MMA's fault for not calling... also he wishes to sabotage MMA's Code S journey (okay the last part I made up).

Polt wants to make his a group of champions, but for some reason picks Noblesse

Noblesse wants to become champion this season. I guess that makes it a group of champions. *shrug*

MC is carrying Huk's "easy-man list".

Huk (MC standing in for him) picks Killer

Killer does not want to be interviewed because he is very insulted by Huk's choice. But then decides to be interviewed anyway... these Koreans man. Turns out he felt Huk was underestimating him after his misclick in their game last season.

MC translating Killer's comments: "He angry."
Killer to Huk: "I'm killer. You die."

Nada picks Alicia

Cella says Alicia is a qq-er.

asd says he'll be fighting this season for Leenock.

asd picks Puzzle

Puzzle looks very pissed/surprised that asd picked him as he's not very happy with the teamkill situation. Warns asd that he's playing with fire.

Alive picks TOP

Alive and Clide have some really ugly pants. It's like a 3 quarter jeans.

Credits to dtz

HongUn always asks Clide to play 2v2s with him online. Even before his semifinals match last season.

Only two players left: Supernova and Genius

MC and July have something to say. MC hopes Clide would pick Supernova. July, the player who cannot pick (has to take the last guy left), wants Clide to pick Supernova as well, because he wants Genius.

Clide picks Supernova, meaning July picks Genius by default

Clide did not make that choice because he's a nice guy (he's nickname is Nice Terran due to his tendency to be a good practice partner), but because he wants to challenge himself. He says his TvT is bad.

Losira can't stop laughing every time he sees Genius's face. For some reason. Genius suspects it's because of his hairstyle.

Apparently Nestea fell asleep. Casters don't mention it though. Just appears to be sleeping when the camera's on him.

And it's over:


If there's an icestorm, John would rather be frozen next to Wolf.
