I think it's time for a Protoss champion. I'm even calling a PvP finals. On another note, Code S is so good now, mostly death groups to me :D

Does this make Dual Sight the oldest map in the current pool?

sickest line up ever as usual

"As some players will participate in overseas tournaments, the groups will most likely be played in a different order. If there should be any changes to the schedule, the schedule page on GOMTV.net will be updated accordingly."
Glad to see Gom accommodating the players and allowing them to go to MLG now cause DRG and STC wouldn't be able to attend MLG playing day 1 if the group days weren't switched.
There's actually only 2 groups with no MLG players, so ideally you play them in this order. B, D, A, C.
Yes I wasn't sure if GOM was going to do this or not after hearing that Polt wasn't sure if he was going to Columbus because he was waiting on the GSL announcement. Plus DRG and StC would be seriously screwed they didn't do this.
Really glad they decided to step up after the MLG Winter Arena debacle, that really made me think poorly of them when I had zero hard feelings beforehand. >_<

Group A, Group F, and Group H are brutal.
Couple of pretty weak looking groups this time though too. lol, i don't see a single "weak group" D is very flimsy. Then there's groups like E and F where 2 overwhelming favourites are against 2 lesser players. I'm sure there'll still be lots of good games regardless =) F is almost the hardest group wtf.
e: oh balls lol, I wrote the wrong group haha. Yeah F is stacked and I said as much in my original post lol ><
I meant G. MVP and Puzzle are big favourites there.

Shrug, the groups are all so good. I really hope NaDa makes it T_T... but his group aint easy at all

On another note, Code S is so good now, mostly death groups to me :D I honestly wouldn't be surprised if you were right on both fronts, with how well some of these Toss are playing right now. But at the same time, I don't see many people that can beat DRG right now.

Group E is going to be fun to watch. Fan favorites vs the ones who arent so popular :p
|
haha came here having a feeling these would be up.
Glad Atlantis Spaceship is entering the map pool, that was one of my picks for what I'd like to see in the gsl. Ohana is pretty cool too. No more of this crossfire nonsense. Still in awe that Dual site has survived. It's not even about balance, I just feel the map quickly became played out in terms of entertainment, and the aesthetics aren't much to look at either anymore. It's just stale.
Also, HOLY FUCK. Nestea vs MC shall not be denied this time :D muhahahaha.....less Inca's DTs actually work on Nestea for once -.-. I also think Naniwa has a good chance getting out of his group. Ryung tvp isn't great, MVP is in a nosedive right now and tvp is his weakest, and Puzzle is pvp so....
Seems like the upper-tier code S players are pretty well spread out too, so that's just gravy for the later rounds. Totally buying the ticket this time.

The fact that there's great difficulty in determining a true Group of Death only speaks volumes of the quality and depth of those who qualify and maintain in GSL Code S.
|
Wow, DRG gets a group with three Terrans.
I think MMA's group is the hardest, Leenock and Squirtle have both looked strong lately, and Nada is Nada. I mean just look at it, four players tied on 300 points and who gets bumped up to tier two? I bet the tiebreaker was "number of Starleague titles", or maybe they had an abs contest to decide who got it (sorry Leenock).

MVP and Puzzle are massive favourites. Don't kid yourself. I'll believe Naniwa can win in the GSL when I actually see it, not an isolated weekend at a MLG. Ryung is going to get rolled by everyone in the group. === e: oh balls lol, I wrote the wrong group haha. Yeah F is stacked and I said as much in my original post lol >< Lol I figured you meant to put something like G when you originally wrote F. I was like... Asha watches a lot of GSL... he's gotta know F is stacked...

This is now going to go in a cycle of me trying to clear things up with edits while people quote the pre-edited post and then I reply to that and then edit an addition but someones replied to the other already isn't it TT
==
Does anyone know if #1 and #2 got to pick their T4 opponents again? I find it interesting that DRG would pick TheStC over Virus or Maru.

so does this mean DRG pick theSTC and Genius pick BBoongBBoong ?
and I think MC-Nestea-Inca group will be pretty close

MC vs Marineking finals gonna happen. DRG is gonna get upset by someone. I'm feeling it this time buddy. You can win this MKP!
|
F is group of death for me. It's got big contenders like MMA and Leenock. And then you have big name value with BW legend Nada. And of course there's Squirtle, who is hyper evolving.
|
id normally pick a group of death, but i find myself looking for a group of life -_-

I think that Nani might actually have a chance of getting out of his group.
