July: (In response to the fact that his builds didn't work last season.) I only know how to be aggressive. I was upset because I wasn't ready in ZvZ last season but now I am.
Picks Puzzle

July: I have a better win% against Terran but I wanted to play against Protoss.
Puzzle: Ever since I was young I watched July on television and was impressed by him. . .I felt a lot of pressure last season. . .Against Sage, I think I got lucky because I was losing in terms of build order and Sage made some mistakes.
July: I have less than one year as a pro gamer because I have to do my term in the army. . .I'm happy with my group. I think Huk and I are similar; we both like to joke around.
Puzzle: I will try to win Code S like I won Code A.

Leenock: I was sad to only make Ro16 last season. I don't think I was able to show everything I prepared last season, but this season I will try to.
Picks Polt

Leenock: The only players I haven't played are Bomber and Polt. Polt comes first alphabetically so I picked him.
Polt: I am happy with my group. I am happy with all groups.
Leenock: Thanks to all the fans supporting me. This is the last GSL of the year and I don't think I have done well so far so I will try my best.
Polt: I got knocked out Ro32 last season. That surprised me.

GuMiHo: I kind of regret volunteering when DRG was picking. Now I am a little intimidated by the names in my group.
Picks Bomber

GuMiHo: I want to play good players to get over my nerve issues. I noticed DRG beat Bomber at MLG so hopefully even if I lose to him DRG will beat him. My goal this season is to overcome my nerve issues and win.
Bomber: Both Happy and DRG are good players so it's not an easy group. Although I have beaten him before in MLG I don't think it will be the same this time.( ?) I think it will be fun to play against DRG and I will be showing some ceremonies.
GuMiHo: I will show you great play.
*Round of applause for GuMiHo*

Taeja: (Asked about SlayerS Terrans.) We split games about evenly. (Asked about best player in group, if it's him) Coca is best. Oz just plays OP Protoss.
Picks Nada

Nada: I'm glad Taeja picked me because I wanted to play TvT. . .I like Coca. I don't like that the group has all the races.
Taeja: I will do my best and hope to at least stay in Code S.
Nada: (To SC2 pros) You must take pride in being the first pro gamers. Keep that in mind.
*Applause*

Killer: I'm upset I can only pick between two players. There are only 5 Protoss players again and I hope I can be the last one again.
Picks Jjakji

Killer: We were on the same team when we played Brood War. MarineKing is the best TvP player so I wanted to face Jjakji who I'm more familiar with. . .I have been qq'ing on Twitter and since then we've had a patch which is making things better.
Jjakji: I was hoping to go to Group H to get over my issues with TvZ. I will have to get to Ro8 so I can pick my group next season. . .I'm sorry for my teammates who didn't manage to get into Code A today and hope they manage next season.

Well, he screwed himself by not making top 8.

I'm so surprised jjakji went this late. Does he have some results in Korea that I don't know about? He's never really impressed me.

Group G in general seems like to weakest group in Code S history to me...the weakest Protoss and probably 3 of the 5 weakest Terrans. At least Killer is in a really good position to advance if he practices his PvT.

San, Sculp, S(I think) that made it to the finals

Edit: Sculp and S made it to finals, lost to SocceR and theSTC respectively

Group H is the group of death tbh. Curious is scary good, and MVP/MKP are very strong terrans. Alive's no slouch either.

It always feels that way doesnt it.

Every season it feels like Huk gets off easy and MKP gets screwed.

And ironically Group A and H, which were suppose to be easy to give the champ/runner-up an advantage, usually ends up being one of the harder groups.

As much as I LOVE group nomination day, in the interest of fairness, they should really just let the Winner and maybe runner-up pick one guy each, then random everyone else or seed them all somehow systematically

Not sure whether group E or group group H are harder.

Depends if Curious can keep his level up now he's mixing it with the big boys I guess.

also lol, anyone following Nani and Haypro's back and forth on twitter? xD
