At first glance Innovation vs herO seems like innovation will lose out but Innovation is 11-3 against hero in games and 6-1 in Sets. Yet so much has changed for both players. I think Innovation will end up losing to herO but i'd strongly favour Inno against Leenock and Squirtle.
So I'm guessing 3 terrans advance with SuNo being the terran ro.32 sacrifice. The problem for innovation is that hero won last time they played, and the last time Innovation beat him was nearly 8 months ago

Official The_Templar predictions: + Show Spoiler [Group A] + TAiLS and Dark will advance because they are the only players with A's in their IDs. TAiLS will get first because his A is a capital letter. Bbyong will edge out Zest in the loser's match because his vowel, o, is slightly closer to an a than e is. This leads to a rematch of Bbyong vs Dark. Bbyong will take a map the second time because the a in dark looks more like an o than an A.
Zest 0-2 TAiLS Dark 2-0 Bbyong TAiLS 2-1 Dark Zest 1-2 Bbyong Dark 2-1 Bbyong
TAiLS and Dark to advance.
+ Show Spoiler [Group B] + None of the players have a B in their name. Lowercase b is basically an upside down p, and that means Trap is favored. B has a lot of curves and a vertical line, sort of like g and u, more so g because rotating the g and removing the extra curve leaves a b-shaped character. However, Ragnarok also has an R, which is close to a B. soO will bomb out because his name has no straight lines. So…
soO 0-2 Ragnarok True 0-2 Trap Ragnarok 2-1 Trap soO 0-2 True True 0-2 Trap
Ragnarok and Trap to advance.
+ Show Spoiler [Group C] +
OF COURSE, this group has Rain and Ruin which are just one letter apart. With not much to go on in this group (none of the letters are close), I predict Stork because K makes the same sound as a C sometimes. I guess u is a sideways c, so I'll predict Ruin as second.
Rain 0-2 Stork Ruin 2-1 Symbol Stork 2-1 Ruin Rain 1-2 Symbol Ruin 2-1 Symbol
Stork and Ruin to advance.
+ Show Spoiler [Group D] + Hydra is the clear favorite, as he has a d in his name. D is composed of a straight vertical line and a large 180 degree curve. R has both of those, as does u (depending on how it's written). Classic has both as well with C's and an l and i, but they are separate.
Life 0-2 Rogue Hydra 2-0 Classic Rogue 0-2 Hydra Life 0-2 Classic Rogue 2-1 Classic
Hydra and Rogue to advance.
+ Show Spoiler [Group E] + ParalyzE and DongRaeGu advance, DRG in second because some people forget about the e in his name. Maru has no letters close to an e, but Myungsik is bound to have one somewhere, so he'll get third.
Maru 1-2 Myungsik ParalyzE 2-1 DRG Myungsik 0-2 Paralyze Maru 0-2 DRG Myungsik 0-2 DRG
ParalyzE and DRG to advance.
+ Show Spoiler [Group F] + Why can't we have more groups like group H of code A (Flash, Hydra, Shine, some other guy)? F has three straight lines. Solar barely even has 3 straight lines in it, ByuL has 6-7ish, PartinG has 7-8ish, SuperNoVa has 9 or so. The numbers occasionally lie.
PartinG 2-1 ByuL Solar 0-2 SuperNoVa PartinG 1-2 SuperNoVa ByuL 2-0 Solar PartinG 2-1 ByuL
SuperNoVa and PartinG to advance.
+ Show Spoiler [Group G] + YongHwa is the only one with a g in his name so he gets first place. G is a letter which has both straight lines and curves. Shine is the only one with letters such as these. Soulkey has a u and a y which don't really count that much but certainly more than the all-curve sOs.
sOs 0-2 Shine YongHwa 2-0 Soulkey YongHwa 2-0 Shine sOs 1-2 Soulkey Shine 2-0 Soulkey
YongHwa and Shine to advance.
+ Show Spoiler [Group H] + herO has an h so he advances. However, how important is that compared to the perpendicular straight lines in H but not in h? INnoVation and Leenock have these, Leenock less so, so this group will be pretty much determined in the first match.
herO 2-1 INnoVation Leenock 2-1 Squirtle herO 2-0 Leenock INnoVation 2-0 Squirtle INnoVation 2-1 Leenock
herO and INnoVation to advance.

Sorry, but group A is the group of death. I can't believe it only has 6 percent of the vote. Dark is an elite Zerg; he's just not well known yet. Zest is the best protoss in the world and Bbyong, as unlikely as it seems, is a top 3 Terran. He's been absolutely tearing it up. He's been playing far better than Innovation.

Added that Code S starts April 30th into the OP.

Shouldn't even be a group of death poll, there's nothing resembling one here.
|
Group E is the most tantalizing. Maru and MyungSik the favorites but ParalyzE and DRG can certainly make it interesting.
|
Group A for group of death for sure.
Bbyoung is tearing things up lately. Zest is current champion Dark has been code s for atleast 2 straight seasons now Tails has been really good aswell again lately.
Last but not least, These 4 are all current part of my FPL team (NOT on my anti-team :D), so how could i NOT vote this for team of death
|
so group H...how the hell is that even fair
|
H is a deadly group by name power thats for sure.
|
Squirtle is in dreadful form and Leenock is a shadow of his former self, looks likely for herO and INnoVation to advance imo. However, the fact that they are playing each other first means that one of them could miss out.
I am looking forward to group F the most, that looks exciting, especially with SuNo vs two zergs. Group A could deliver as well.

Squirtle has a big name, and so does Leenock - both GSL finalists and at the time they were finalists, everyone thought they would win.
It's nothing to do with current shape, he was talking 'star power'
|
Soulkey in the same group as Shine! D: D: D:
Well, at least he has pretty good chance to not meet him. ^^
Don't know why people are talking about grop H... Innovation and herO are great, but Leenock and Squirtle are very far from being "great"...

Someone's gonna get tailsed.
|
Code S feels so hollow without any TvTs =(
|
Nothing deathish yet imo. Each group has at most 2 clear favorites. Ro16 is where the Death is deadliest.
