I hope that the Khan players won't all be in the same group, that would be horrible. This also makes me miss MSL. MSL group selections were the best.
Poor Jaedong Not seeing him in ro16 makes me sad
Horang2 in a group with Hyvaa, Flash and Fantasy is my wet dream. Horang2 goes 0-3 in a roflstomp fashion. Go Hiya

Definitely feels weird not seeing Jaedong at a group selection ceremony.

Four seeds: Do you want to be with me? Rush: OH hyvaa: Noooo Zero: - o - Flash: Ah, ah please don't Bogus: Grape: Is it always like this here? (referring to Ro16) Stork: I'm sorry Mini: Maybe it was a mistake to come this far... Soulkey: Should we quit?] Action: ... Shine: Ha.... Hey you, come over here. GET OVER HERE. horang2: Really? <3 I'll do my best to do live translations while streaming either in chat or vocally.
Lets go Flash. Fourth coming up.
Man, progamers are such nerds compared to the old days
That video is so stupid. Of course Flash likes to be in a group with Fantasy, Jangbi and Hydra. Action so badass though. I hope Flash, Fantasy, Action or SK won't be placed in the same groups. I don't want any of them to be eliminated yet until the Ro4.
err also, Kiett, the format this year is little different. The 4 seeded players pick a player that they want in their group, then they do the lottery.

Wait really? So the lottery is only for the remaining 2 players? ._. I guess that's a nice compromise between 100% random and ABCMart group of death-esque disasters lol
thanks kiiett/supernovamaniac! ^^
It's in 1 hour, alert, alert.

At least that's what I remember. Also in the type vid, it says 조지명식 not 조추첨식 which also implies that this Group Selection is not lottery based, or at least not 100% lottery. EDIT: Yup. 4 Seeds will select one player and place them in their group. Then, Jangbi will pick who goes first in group selection and so on.
Action doesnt give a damn. lol.
Oh shit totally forgot this was today, awesome :D

2007/8 Jaedong was so intense. Micro and macro were so on point that you risked your health if you were paired up against Jaedong. A different time perhaps - those were the glory days of BW with Klazart going 200 wpm I just hope Fantasy and Flash don't end up meeting each other before the semi-finals. We need another Bo5 between them
