I hope for DRG to pick MKP and I think there's a good possibility of it too given how bad he played at Iron Squid but he'll probably pick Bogus because he has a thing for picking players he beat in Ro32 and then losing to them in Ro16.
We'll probably have Group D with Life and parting too

He won't pick MKP. Last time he picked MKP, MKP fucked him over and picked a player that was better than both of them... Don't remember the ID...

DRG strat is to pick the player that advanced with him in the ro32 and then lose to them. DRG is picking Innovation

90% of the winner interviews: "I want to pick a Protoss opponent." Well this will be interesting. Everyone's gonna get madbro.

DRG Just said he thinks he can win this season if he avoids protoss haha
edit: It would greatly surprise me if DRG picked a zerg. I'm almost certain he will pick a terran and he's 100% not picking Toss

I think the picking system should change a bit in the future to reward group winners
1. Out of 8 group winners, the four highest-ranking will pick from 8 second finishers
2. Four picked second finishers will pick from the remaining 4 group winners (higher-point player picks first)
3. Lastly the 4 third-picked players will choose from the remaining 4 second finishers
just thinking

Yeah, everyone except DRG, Life, and Soulkey will get mad... Pretty sure the latter two want a rematch.

MC says he will pick a protoss, but if he picks Parting- he might as well forfeit his Code S spot and go down to Code A...

I think theres a really good possibility of this. My guess is either MKP, Taeja or Bogus (maybe B4 if he is feeling confident in ZvZ but I'm sure he'd rather play ZvT plus B4 looked good at ZvZ in his group)

This might be a more fair way to do it. But I think the dynamics of being able to pick from all 12 players makes player selection much more interesting. It is always funny to see when players ask who wants to play them and it is either no one (when the player asking is strong) or everyone (when the player asking is weak)
|
I'd love to see a MC "I WILL KILL PARTING" rivalry :D. I never thought that I would ever say that MC is the underdog in this - but he would be. :D
|
So excited. I love these, always so much drama and hilarity.
|
Keep Squirtle, Life, and Bomber out of the same groups plz
|
Looking forward to what the groups end up looking like. I hope Taeja's wrist will be ok.
