Anyone else extremely disappointed there wasn't a group selection?

I mean, I understand they wouldn't of been able to do it in person and on camera, but they still could of done it by setting a time and having people pick. Then interviewing why they picked who they picked.

Disappointed.

^^and I could help you with those if you would like, but either or

How would they determine who gets to pick first though? GSL has a ranking based on points, but WCS doesn't really have that yet.

Man group C is just rough from a fan point of view. 2 very likeable foreigners in Suppy and Scarlett and also HerO.

Draw straws, lol. Or maybe the way they came up with these groups...yes they have those rules of not meeting someone, but there is more than on possibility with those...Does it really matter?

What would of ended up happening is that the Koreans would all try to get the foreigners, with the exception of maybe scarlett and no foreigners would get through :/

Group D stands above every other group in terms of sheer talent and results.

I think Sen should make it out of that group, and one of Scarlett or Suppy could make it out of theirs.

This is a pretty bad "Americas" tournament though

Damn that group D...
Sen Suppy and Scarlett all have strong chances to make it out though.
Moonglade a little tougher.
Let's hope for a not all Korean Ro8!
