MSL selection ceremony, the ceremony was very long this is just a recap (more translation than video), players can select their wanted opponent, others can change the selections, lots of 'trash talk' (all in good sport of course.. or mostly), Part 1, you can download the full ceremony @ TL tracker (1.32 GB)

Xellos: "If you like it, you can leave it as it is"

CJ's Xellos chose KTF's GoodFriend, saying strongly that he wanted a rematch.

iloveOov: "I saw NaDa so I chose him"

Ordinarily showing affection(?) to Pantech's Nada, SKT's iloveoov once again picked him.

Boxer (on the phone, could not come to ceremony): "I only see Nal_rA in my eyes"

iloveOov said that he only sees Nada, and I only see Nal_rA. There isn't really a particular reason. He revealed that he is prepared to show fun games.

GoRush: "I picked so that I have the best chance to advance"

Right now, the player GoRush wants to play the most is CJ's Much. Although due to the steal-draft he can't stay in this spot, he said that he wanted to remain there.

Midas: "I want to play vs a zerg"

After long deliberation, Midas finally picked Samsung's JJu. Because he wanted to play vs a zerg, he chose JJu.

Stork: "I want to play vs the champion"

Samsung's Stork picked last season's winner Bisu. He said there wasn't any special reason other than wanting to play vs the winner.

Shine[name]: "I want revenge for Proleague"

OGN's Shine boldy picked CJ's Savior. He said that he will avenge his loss in Proleague.

Chalrenge: "I want to play Nal_rA or NaDa"

"Chalrenge wanted to play them, but expressed regret that Boxer and iloveOov had already picked them. So he picked JulyZerg.

Freedom.werra "I want to play vs Bisu"

After Chalrenge, Freedom stated similar sentiments. He ended up choosing CJ's Oversky.

Sheis: "I am confident in TvT"

Because he is confident in TvT he chose SKT's Canata.

Go.Go: "Hwasin is an easy mark"

OGN's Go.Go said "I chose the easiest player to beat" and selected STX's Hwasin. After this, Hwasin's expression hardened.

Firebathero: "I want TvT"

Samsung's FBH said he wanted to play Nada. Wanting TvT, he chose OGN's Justin.

Child: "I don't care who I play against"

STX's Child said "Group A is full, so I can't enter" "I want to play vs Savior and Jangbi," explaining his reasoning for his selection.

Ever)TT "Come out GO.GO!"

Samsung's TT who unsatisfactorily lost to OGN go.go wanted a rematch and so he chose MBC's 910[ete] (who is was in the same group)

Sea[shield] "There isn't really anyone in particular I want to go against"

Sea picked his own teammate Light[Alive], and people were surprised. Sea said "I don't have the option of moving peopl around, so I trust Bisu will move me." Then he also said he wanted to be placed next to sAviOr.

Nal_keke: "I trust the hyungs' choices"

Statement as he is unsatisfied in the last position. He trusts the seeded players.

Oversky: "I want to play ZvZ"

CJ's Oversky sent away Samsung's Freedom.werra who had chosen him to another group and selected Pantech's Nal_keke.

iloveOov: "I believe in NaDa"

Samsung's Jangbi discarded Child and chose iloveOov. iloveOov stated that he believed that NaDa would bring him back later.

910[ete]: "I will leave matters as they are"

Saying that he didn't want to mess with OGN's Go.Go and Samsung's TT fate, he left TT in the same position.

Canata: "I will respect Sheis's choice"

Because STX Soul's SheIs had specifically said that he wanted to play Canata, he left it as is.

Much: "Thinking about old affection, I shouldn't do this..."

Samsung's Stork had talked to Much during break, and so Much switched Stork with SKT's GoRush.

Free: "Since Group A already has a zerg, I will bring him back."

Free sounded like his missed Nal_keke who had been stolen by Oversky.

Julyzerg: "I will win and move everyone next time"

Coming back after 1.5 years, he selected iloveOov with resolute determination.

GoodFriend: "I will not send Xellos away"

Goodfriend said that since Xellos had advanced to MSL late because of him, and recently in ODT he had beat Xellos he was confident.

Jju: "I have told Midas that we should get along as friends"

Midas has kept picking Jju in leagues, and asked him to stop. Jju thinks that Midas forgot about that conversation.
