The four players with the highest GSL 2013 point rankings are distributed to the four groups - 1st place to Group A, 2nd to group D, 3rd to group C and 4th to Group B.
There are three rounds of nominations:
1st place in points nominates their player, then 2nd to 4th (A - D - C - B).
The nominated player in Group D nominates another player to join that group. Then the nominated player of Group C, B, and A follow (D - C - B - A).
The nominated player in Group A nominates another player to join that group. Then the nominated player of Group B and C follow. The last player is placed in Group D (A - B - C - D).
Parting had *better* pick Life, he's got so much talk riding on this. But then again, last time he talked about picking GuMiho and then made a beeline straight for Boongboong. I guess that's what happens when the Gumibear is immune to trash talk. I highly doubt Symbol or Taeja will pick Life, but Roro could, though probably not with Kangho on the table.
Anyway, these things never go logically! The Koreans have all sorts of grudge picking and info that most of us don't know about.
I bet gumiho and shine get picked early, despite being really strong players. it's crazy how stacked code s is, any of these guys can take games off each other, rushes or macro it doesn't matter. i just wish tere were more protoss in this season, but it's not anything new for GSL to have low protoss #'s :p
After pretty much all the players I enjoy watching were eliminated in the Ro32, my continued interest in this tournament is dependent solely on the results of Flash. Hopefully he will get a relatively easy group, not that he will need it but still.
