Actually, after taking a second look at the groups, almost every group has an MVP player too. Looks like the only teamkills that will be happening during the Up/Down games will be LG-IM, and that's only because they have more players then there are groups. I wonder if avoiding GOM was intentionally trying to avoid team-kills?
NaNiwa would have been a better choice for a seed than HuK, IMO.
However, Code S seeds still haven't been revealed. I feel like NaNiwa might get one, and now would be the perfect time for Stephano to FINALLY accept his.

Well, people said the same thing about Mana making it through, and he managed to go 2-1 and go through without needing to play his fourth game. Granted the 5 man group made it more possible, but bo1 variability, and the ability to possibly just go 3-2 and make it out in a lot of scenarios, mean that I'd have to put the odds of either of them making it above 5%, maybe not a ton more, but I can see Huk/Grubby going 3-2 against their opponents 10% of the time. Huk due to his nice bracket and ability to just win some days and Grubby due to possibly having a couple pocket strats due to the fact that there is so much data on all of his opponents and him getting lucky picking the right build in a bo1 (well, not as much data on bbyong compared to the others, but still a decent bit).

I think this is likely. Same with spreading the Kespa players out as well.
Calling it right now Group A: JD, Flash (possibly MC) Group B: TaeJa, Squirtle Groub C: DRG and..... Losira? This one seems more up in the air. Group D: HerO, Bomber Group E: NesTea, FanTaSy And Thus, flash won his first GSL

Wait, there's still Code S seeds? -_- I hope Kespa people get them, no foreigner besides Stephano deserves Code S. And we all know he's not gonna do it.
