Creator has already won the first game, looking unstoppable (at least in this group).

 

[Jezbollah]

I believe stephano has said he won't do gsl since its too much of a time commitment.

I've seen a couple of interviews where he's been 50/50 about doing the GSL. Him going to train with TSL and getting his first true taste of Korean life is a good sign though.

I know that if I was EG and had just signed him, I'd be expecting him to do GSL.

Code S seeds: (Z)Jaedong, (P)Sun

Going off the WCS performances alone I think that RorO should have gotten the code S spot over Jaedong. That is not to say that Jaedong will be bad, just that I thought that RorO has been playing better lately.

RorO won't have any trouble getting into Code S on his own. Jaedong could use the boost.

 

[Vaporak]

A Terran winning with siege tanks in TvP??? But all the terran players told me tanks are bad! Just like Ravens are totally useless...

I don't think that Code S should be given to a player as a boost rather on performance but then again GOM has given Code S spots before for what sometimes feels like media attention.

Jaedong being in Code S would definitely garner more attention than just RorO and that is probably a good thing for SC2 in Korea.

The Code S seeds are definitely more for the ratings than as a reward for good performance.

I wonder how the people who thought that Naniwa didn't deserve his seed are going to take this.

It's based on their performance in proleague I think

lol Tanks are amazing.

What game was this?

 

[bbyybb]

Nice comeback from Supernova.

Close tiebreaker so far.

Edit: I forgot that if this continues on (Supernova loses the next game) Creator legally cannot player after 12 AM if it goes that long.

 

[bbyybb]

Great play from Supernova again. Two terran's through tonight.

 

[Mairu]

The Code S seeds are definitely more for the ratings than as a reward for good performance.

they are based off proleague rankings

Proleague Ranking
Code S:
1 By.Sun aka Rain - 13-6, 7 ace match wins = 495
2 Jaedong - 10-9, 6 ace match wins = 390
Code A:
3 Trap - 11-4, 3 ace match wins = 375
4 RorO - 9-6, 3 ace match wins = 315
4 EffOrt - 9-8, 3 ace match wins = 315
6 sHy aka sOs - 9-2 = 270

 

[bbyybb]

That makes sense even if RorO has been playing better lately

Won't be able to catch the Group E, I like many of the players so it would be a tough pick.

Pretty sure viOlet is in Texas

Pretty sure viOlet is in Texas

i wouldn't want to fly 6000 miles play second fiddle to some zenex scrub, either.

 

[Aaron]

Expect Ryung to win first game in spectacular fashion, and bungle the games after as usual.

Edit: Forget that, Ryung bungles the first game.
Edit2: Or not.

 

[Corran Horn]

WHAT AM I WATCHING?!?!


lol

 

[ghst]

zenex powahhh.

let the power of your hungry stomach guide you.

edit: dawww

 

[Corran Horn]

Such a weird game...
4 people only Such a small group


edit

Sometimes I think I could be alot more productive in my time...

 

[Aaron]

I agree. Why aren't you playing Dark Souls or Sleeping Dogs instead?

 

[Mairu]

Some of the best players came from ZeNEX! Like TaeJa.

I prefer Liquids other's players

edit: phew more games. That could have been super quick series.

 

[Aaron]

Even with a clean sweep, Ryung looks disappointed.

In his mind, he is always thinking about how much he hates mma.

It's funny because it's totally true.

 

[Aaron]

Next round starting, but with this list of players... meh.

Both ST players drinking Redbull. Way to be a slave to your sponsors.

... now I want a Redbull.

 

[Haunted]

My god, these Code S groups.

I haven't really followed GSL all that closely in a while, and even I want to see Groups C and E play out. Group H is also good.

 

[bbyybb]

Yeah I seen these earlier, Group E looks like a real group of death.

Going to be tough for MaNa.

Karma, man. He had the perfect outcome and some luck in his up & downs, and he's paying for it now. That is a sick group of death right there.

 

[2MF]

A group without Terran and two groups with 3 Terrans :O

 

[Aaron]

Having the 2, maybe 3, best terrans in the world in your group if a fml moment. While Naniwa has a group he could sleep through.

That said, Mana's best matchup is PvT and he will train it like his life depends on it. He's still the clear underdog expected to go out 0-2, obviously.

Not sure what to think of Naniwa's group, tbh.

He can probably beat MMA, Mvp or Taeja though... good luck to Mana. That group & Group C are ridiculous

Hope a Startale player can take it this season.

suhosin is a lock. that "i've gotta take my dog to the vet to be put down after this" look he carries is just sympathy for the faces he's going to break with his metagame destroying builds.

 

[Aaron]

5 mins util all the pvz you can handle.

 

[jorma]

heh oh wow mana, funny thing is that he probably wished for an all terran group, he got everything he dreamed of!

 

[vicissitudes]

So hyped.

Tastosis hasn't casted in about a year.

 

[HolyCheck]

who are these guys

 

[Jezbollah]

My work really shouldn't book me in to work from home with the expectation of me actually doing work on the first day of Code S...

Baneling drops into Hydra drops? hmmm

edit: why didn't he just drop into the natural and snipe the Nexus...

He did the worst possible execution of that strategy. As he flew over the expansion I was thinking, surely he wont try and go into the main with the group of stalkers. It wasn't good to watch.

 

[boiled goose]

that was terrible.

 

[Ashhong]

Forgive my ignorance, but where are the kespa players in the group plays? I dont see any of them in the OP
