Each group is comprised of three Code S players and two Code A players. The Code A runner up ( ) is considered Code S for this purpose. The groups play round robin format, BO1s against each other person in the group until the top 2 per group are determined. The top two per group will play in Code S in GSL September, while the remaining players will play in Code A.



Group 1



SuperNoVa

Alicia

Byun

Leenock

YoDa



Group 2



LosirA

MC

Kyrix

Check

Jjakji



Group 3



viOlet

Trickster

MarineKing

Taeja

JYP



I feel like Jjakji got the short end of the stick here, the guy is good enough to be in Code S but has to go through Losira and MC to get in.



As for predictions - Byun should get out of his group, but the other spot seems wide open. MC and Losira are the clear favorites in Group 2, with Jjakji being the dark horse. And I don't see anyone stopping the two Terrans in the last group. Each group is comprised of three Code S players and two Code A players.

dabom88 Profile Blog Joined July 2010 United States 3481 Posts #3 Group 1: I think Supernova is the clear favorite. I WANT to say Leenock should take #2, but I think it could be Byun.



Group 2: Agree, MC and Losira are the clear favorites.



Group 3: MarineKing should make it out, but I have a hard time choosing the other. You should not have to pay to watch the GSL, Proleague, or OSL at a reasonable time. That is not "fine" and it's BS to say otherwise. My sig since 2011. http://www.youtube.com/user/dabom88

Top 2 will come down to mkp/taeja/jyp and mkp can always 1-1-1 jyp! Top 10 favourite pros: MKP, MVP, MC, Nestea, DRG, Jaedong, Flash, Life, Creator, Leenock

Are you for real? Dodging MC/LosirA/MKP is pretty good.... really can't complain. Are you for real? Dodging MC/LosirA/MKP is pretty good.... really can't complain.

Tofugrinder Profile Joined September 2010 Austria 898 Posts #10 group 1: should be Alicia, Leenock



but I could see everyone but yoda taking it.



Group 2: anything but Losira and MC would be a shock I guess



Group 3: I'd say violet and Taeja. Maybe MKP, but I don't think he's a real code s player right now

RaiKageRyu Profile Joined August 2009 Canada 4726 Posts Last Edited: 2011-08-31 07:00:20 #11 Thanks for list!



Leenock actually has good luck in his group. Probably the best outcome he could get aside from all Ts.



Leenock can eat any T that doesn't play like sC or MKP. So that's meets the 3 wins needed. Doesn't matter if his vP is crap and would probably lose to Alicia.



I would say MKP has good shot making it back to code S but the 2nd person joining with him can be anyone's game excluding perhaps violet. Someone call down the Thunder?

Lol you're judge of code s quality is terrible when you have violet there. He's one of the worst code s players ever.



These are currently the 5 worst code s players and I hope to see all of them gone from there soon.



Violet

Trickster

Killer

Ensnare

2. Losira and MC



3. Taeja (good at bo1 in teamleague) and Trickster. Sorry MKP but I think you are gonna choke just like in teamleague bo1 games.



Suffo Profile Joined March 2010 United States 760 Posts #16 If leenock doesn't advance from this group, I give up on him.



my predictions

G1 - Leenock/Supernova

G2 - Losira MC

G3 - MKP JYP

SenorChang Profile Blog Joined October 2010 Australia 4606 Posts #17 Up downs so scary. Can't imagine the pressure on the players =(. I sure as hell hope MCs and losira get through as they do not deserve to be in code A.



But it's happened to MKP and MVP so it could happen ლ(╹◡╹ლ)

CortoMontez Profile Joined October 2010 Australia 608 Posts Last Edited: 2011-08-31 07:03:53 #18 Personally, I think that Leenock will take 1st in his group, since ZvT is his best matchup, there are three terrans in his group, and I can't see alicia beating the terrans.



EDIT: Predictions:

1st/2nd



A: Leenock/Byun



B: MC/Losira



C: MKP/JYP "Creator was doing a really good job trying to win without storm but it was like eating spaghetti with a screwdriver." -Severian

G2 Jjakji (only Terran in his group why not?) MC (why not? we need him lol)

G3 TaeJa (SlayerS) JYP (Cya MKP)

Canucklehead Profile Joined March 2011 Canada 4922 Posts Last Edited: 2011-08-31 07:08:06 #20 Up/down is do or die, so if I'm mkp I just 1-1-1 trickster and jyp for free wins. Then since violet is awful that should get mkp 3 wins, which should be good enough for top 2. I'm liking mkp's chances as it could be worse.
