I just saw on their post and basically said they added 2 new maps AtoA and Odyssey. The rest I have no idea as I can't read Korean. I was hoping they would replace Whirlwind with something else but oh well it is fine I guess.

Again a Group of death for Innovation...will his bad Luck ever end?????? Nevertheless he is used to win, especially when it gets really tough. I rember clearly how he won his last GSL title beating some of his nemesis and surviving the group of death once again. It might seem forlorn this time once more, but I hope for the best. Till the next group nomination the Robot should get some good advice from HerO to turn his fate :-).

I am suprised, how are the relationships in Splyce. When Stats intentionally puts his teammate against Innovation.
Easy road for Maru, very entertaining group for Rogue and group of Death for those three terrans. Poor Classic.
sOs?

Byun stoppable should have more time to find himself, considering he has the weakest group by a longshot.
|
I recognize these names but I don't know who is good anymore...

INnoVation is not going to make it out of that group sadly. His TvT seems to be his downfall

Am new to the world scene here.
Stats is the first seed? And are they doing a roundrobin of 4? As in stats will vs all of the 3 people or at least the winners?
And stats or the first seeds would pick worse players to be in his group or pool?
Can someone give me a grandma explanation of how the pool system works for the B.net tournaments as well as these world gsl hot 6 tournaments?

Stats/Byul Innovation/TY herO/Byun Maru/Dark

GSL style groups aren't round robin, it's dual tournament format instead. So each group is basically this tree: In general you get points for doing well in GSL and the players with the most points are the highest seeded. So yeah in theory you want to pick weak players because it obviously increases your chances of advancing.

He's actually quite good. He beat impact and sOs to get ro16 (not that thats saying much)

Creator, zest, ryung, solar, patience, sOs, keen, major, scarlett, bunny, and trust all went out in ro32. I wouldn't call that weak. You can argue none of them are ro8 material or anything but they're still very strong. I reckon most of them could win a foreigner cup if they transferred over.

It's weak, but Losira is underrated. Guy was making ro16+ all year back in 2013 which I'd say was one of the highest skill eras.

INnoVation made him look like a complete fool in the Ro32 (and last season too), but that's INnoVation so can't be too harsh on Losira.
Tastosis were making jokes about how Losira was running down an up-escalator with broken legs. That basically summed up him vs INnoVation.

I think the issue for Maru with this group is who will help him practice tvz who is as good as the zergs he is facing? Honestly ByuL and Solar are possibly the only ones good enough to give him adequate practice who aren't in his group. Maybe laddering is enough but who knows.

Rogue, his games against TY was decent
|
Group Soo is sick. But seriously; The strongest terrans are in group aLive. This is gonna be a great ro16. :D

Laddering doesn't ever seem to be enough... or we'd see more foreigners qualified. He's got his work cut out for him.
