It's based on ratings they aquired on all 3 seasons. The top8 are drawn to each separate group and the rated 9-16 do the same. The rated 17-32 however could get in the same groups which has happened I believe.
There's one group with 3/4 protoss, one group of 3/4 zerg and three groups of 3/4 terrans... Couldn't they possible have evened the races out between these groups? There's three groups without a protoss.... WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!
Idra nd Jinro in the same group, 3/4 oGs members in group F. SERIOUSLY.

It's like Shann said, it was a random draw but they went by randomizing Top 8, than randomizing Top9-16 etc, so that way it was all the high seeds are separated and you don't end up with a group containing SansZenith/LegalMind/Anypro all at once.

Its called a group of death and its not ridiculous.We see one of these every OSL.
Yep, aware that it's a group of death, which by definition is ridiculous from a spectators point of view. Every game is going to cause a huge stir, no matter who wins.
If it wasent random, then people would complain that its "rigged" especially in Slayers Boxers case. If it wasent that it will be the maps, if it wasent the maps it would be something else like Artosis hair, or Tasteless EG plug.
The community needs in general just to let go a bit and enjoy the tournaments instead of nitpicking everything.

Jinro against Idra??
Too bad Jinro and Idra are together. But they got a pretty easy group. If this was 100% random they are very very lucky.
