Players, who got into the Ro16 in GSL, will be put into 4 groups. The selection process, which player goes into which group, is very entertaining, as it is done by the players themselves.
Who did not see - this was the process in season 2:
As the groups will start playing next Wednesday (September 2), the group selection event must happen within the next 6 days. Does anybody know, when exactly will it happen and whether it will be broadcasted on Twitch?

Thank you sooo much! I was looking for the info everywhere, on all sites of GomExp, but did not find anything. So it is tomorrow, on Friday, GSL standard time (Europe 11:30) - excellent. Hopefully, it will be on Twitch as well, as I do not think, they used the interpreter just for the youtube VODs. Thanks.

But I do not think, GomExp would let them leave before the event, it would lose too much popularity (and ads). I believe, all of them will be present on the nominations. And if I am not wrong, they will still have more than 24 hours before playing on MSI - Asia is 1 day ahead of the US - when I traveled from South Korea to America, I lived one day twice - I lived the day, in the evening, I went to sleep and when I woke up in the morning, it was the same date. So they should have still enough time for the trip.

Why would you care about a group selection when you have a tournament to play? It's not the first time a player has been absent from the ceremony

Well, but 5 players missing from the event for 16, that would lose a big part of the fun ... So I do not think that GomExp would let them leave before the event. And I think, the GSL considers itself as far more important than some tournament anywhere else in the world ... So I expect them to be there. Additionally, they should have no problem in participating in the event, leaving to the US on Saturday early morning and arriving there on Friday evening, having one night to sleep / get used to jet lag ... and the next day they could play.

OK, I see, so I was wrong ... I hope, the group nominations will be entertaining anyway ...
PartinG's absence hurts the most in that regard, especially with Flash being there. :/
What do they do when a player is missing? Do they send his friend to share his thoughts and play "the theater"? Or do they just have a name tag instead of them? Do they use their coaches? What?

It depends. Often people have teammates pick for them. INno once recorded what his top 3 picks were going to be (he was picking third). Flash let Mr. Chae pick for him at least once.
