After the conclusion of the final Ro32 group on Thursday night, Code S went directly into group drawings. The groups were randomly drawn to each include two first place finishers and two second place finishers from the Ro32. The previous format where players chose their opponents in a draft-like group ceremony was abandoned.
The Code S Ro16 will begin on March 5th.
Group A:  Life, RorO, Curious,  sOs
Group B: Zest,  Maru, Soulkey, Dear
Group C: Classic, Squirtle, PartinG, Rain
Group D: soO, Trap, herO (CJ), Bbyong

Head to Head Records (take these with a grain of salt because some of the matches are kind of old but I find them interesting and figured maybe some other people would too.

I thought they said Round of 32 players couldn't be in the same group for Round of 16 but yet Roro and Curious are in the same group...

Flash PartinG INnoVation Life was pretty good...

Actually, with a second thought I kinda find group C to be the group of Doom and Death. With Dear's recent shaky performances, compared to build order- and colossi master Squirtle, execution master PartinG, defence- and standard game master Rain, and the solid Classic.. I think C is quite reasonable then

B and C are reaaaallly staked.
I don't know why A is 2nd in the poll. Life and Roro ok. Curious meh. sOs : lol.
Well all groups are kind of stacked really.

If Maru makes it out of that group, he is indeed the Chosen One.

sOs really did draw best group for him probably. Other games, hue. Too many roaches.
PartinG is probably locked if he beats Rain in first game and then everything can happen.
If Bbyong somehow beats herO in first game, soO will advance first, if not - herO and soO are close to be locks with Trap being hit or miss last months.
And B, ohlol. Soulkey is lock like always. And P7GAB might be second if he doesn't lose to Maru and then in coinflip against Dear.

The only PvP practice partner left will be Paralyze. He will know all their strategies and be in control of their destinies.

Bite your tongue.
You just called a group with PvP potential better than a group where TvT happened. Between Innovation and Flash. Go stand in a corner and think about what you did.
But obviously sick group is obviously sick. This is probably as exciting as Code S is going to get this season.
