I'll admit, this past month in progaming was very difficult for me. Between oov, Kingdom, and the massacre that was the MSL offline qualifiers, I felt lost. So I went out to the ocean.

I stared out at the sea.
The sea stared back at me.

A crab crawled up to where I was standing. "Why are you so sad?"

I sat down on the beach. "You wouldn't understand... it involves Starcraft."

A seagull flew by and perched by my side. "We understand. But do not despair. Take heart. Behold, the Gom Invitational and Tasteless."

A smile grew on my face. I looked out at the beautiful ocean, the horizon, and the sunset.

A kangaroo hopped over and joined us.

"Well, what are your thoughts about the group stages?"

Hmm. I hadn't thought about that.

I closed my eyes. The sound of the ocean, the waves, were music to my ears... I concentrated........





[image loading]

Group A
(the % next to each player are the odds to advance to next stage)

Savior - 25%
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud


Flash - 15%
How many roads must a man walk down
before you call him a man?


Anytime - 25%
"No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,
"There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke.
But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate,
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late."


Mind - 35%
Shame on your greed, shame on your wicked schemes
I'll say this, I don't give a damn about your dreams




[image loading]

Group B

Jaedong - 60%
I heard you rushed and rushed, AND ATTACKED
Then they rebuked and you had TO SMACK
Causin rambunction, throughout the sphere
Raise the levels of the boom, inside the ear


Nada - 15%
I am recognizing that the voice inside my head
is urging me to be myself and never follow someone else
because opinions are like voices we all have a different kind
so just clean out all of your ears these are my views and you will find


Much - 20%
Todays a hip-hop draft will I be top-seeded?
Worked too frickin hard while all the rest were gettin weeded
Steady kickin styles so I can reach that other level
Dont worry about gettin gassed I push the pedal to the metal


Boxer - 5%
Back in the days when I was a teenager
Before I had status and before I had a pager
You could find the abstract listening to hip hop
My pops used to say, it reminded him of be-bop
I said, well daddy dont you know that things go in cycles
The way that bobby brown is just ampin like michael




[image loading]

Group C

Stork - 40%
And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
You can only take so much
Walk on

Leave it behind
You've got to leave it behind


Iris - 20%
I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it


Hwasin - 25%
I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for


Free - 15%
You're not the only one staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find if you stepped back inside
I'm not sucking my thumb I'm staring at the sun
Not the only one who's happy to go blind




[image loading]

Group D

Bisu - 45%
If you are what you say you are, a superstar
Then have no fear, the crowd is here
And the lights are on
And they want a show, oh-oh-oh-oh


Sea - 20%
I'm fearless
Now hear this
I'm earless
And I'm peerless
That means I'm eyeless
Which means I'm tearless
Which means my iris resides where my ears is
Which means I'm blinded


GGPlay - 20%
And my most coveted thing is my high self-esteem
And the low tolerance for them telling me how to lean
See the most important parts are the ones that are unseen
See the wings don't make you fly and the crown don't make you king


Light - 15% (fucking maps)
If life goes passing you by
Don't cry
If you breaking the rules
Making your moves
Paying your dues...
Chasing the cool




Ah... it was all clear now.

I felt better. Blessed, even.

Time to swim

Ok, I just want to make clear: none of the words are mine (well, except for the opening story about the beach)

The words in the previews are all blatently stolen from the gentlemen in the pictures

I honestly think so. I basically don't trust Savior to win any more ZvTs against quality opponents. And Flash got a bad map pool.

In that group, Mind is the slight favorite, and Savior and Anytime both have an equal chance to get out of the group. Overall though, 25% out of a four-person group are decent odds. Just not favorite odds.
