Less interesting IMO. Dark always uses the threat of a team kill to force picks. He doesn't have that threat this time.

Cure.
Maybe Stats too.
Inno rolled Rogue pretty hard, if there is a zerg left he could do worse than picking one.
Well Inno doesn't have a pick, group D gets the last player left on stage.
Right, didnt think about that.
Neither did I, if Cure or Stats goes to Group D I'm gonna rage. Maru is always in groups of death, even more often than Dark is.
Yeah remembwr his group of death with Patience Ragnarok and Bunny or whatever it was?
That's why I wanted him to have the pick swap. The only time he doesn't play in Groups of Death is when he has the pick swap. As long as Dark has it I knew this was gonna happen.

Maru is always fated to play Stats too. It always always happens.
Maru actually had the easiest group possible for so many times when he was able to swap players. I would love to see him against good players now, his run in the super tournament was absolutely delightful !
I kinda expect to Maru have the toughest group here, with Dark swapping Ragna for someone like Zest and Maru ending up with Inno, Zest and Stats :D The worst players possible for him personally.

I think it was Impact. But yeah Maru on average doesn't get very hard groups. Doesn't TY have the hardest on average?
You guys have a short memory. Maru hasn't had hard groups in his 4 straight GSL wins just because of the pick swap. But before that? He's had some really tough ones.
I dunno about TY, I haven't paid that much attention to how strong his groups have been.

Either way. Group D is fucked in this GSL.
Yeah no I literally ran through all GSL and SSL results of LotV a year or so ago and TY's groups always had the players who would go the furthest. I can send you a picture or the excel sheet later That was right around the time Maru began his 4 championships streak

Not arguing, I literally never pay attention to who TY is paired against. I don't follow him closely. You're most likely right.

Don't think Maru's been in the Ro16 Group of Death even once in this expansion.

Another fun excercise for later: starleague winners vs group of deaths they have been in. Has TY been cosmically screwed? Is Maru just lucky?

It's great to see you enjoy group selections.
Just two things: Special's TvZ is relatively bad, he definitely would not thrive in non korean tournaments, the "not harder" path would be hard indeed.
Also, Dark had a nice streak against foreigners but in the latest years he looked comparatively stronger against koreans.
