So what does this show... Other than tonights games are the first that could actually separate the writers from Dae-Man Park, there is an unsurprising amount of variety in the three groups of picks.
In this spoiler are the results and prediction scores each day:
+ Show Spoiler [Group Results] +
Group A Nestea and TheBest advance
+1 for everyone, and despite JWC effectively picking 3 of the 4 people, no one saw TheBest making it out.
Group B MVP and Zenio advance
In a startling loss of the first GSL open champion, only JWC correctly called this group, DMP and TLW both only knowing MVP was too strong for anyone in B.
Group C Boxer and Hyperdub advance
Things were looking grim for the writers as HongUn began pumping out void rays, but Hyperdub managed to surprise all 3 predictions. The Emperor was certainly looking strong today, but apparently we all knew it was coming.
Group D Choya and Tester/ssks/Trickster advance
DMP stumbled today, both GOM analysts believing Kyrix would make it through, Tree moving the writers into a solo 2nd spot and still one point striking distance behind JWC. Tomorrow offers DMP a chance at redemption however as JWC and Tree have the same picks.
Group E Genius and Rainbow advance
Leenock gets tank pushed and 4 gated out of the Ro32, throwing JWC and the writers for a loop, but not DMP who puts himself right back into the hunt falling in step with the writers who are still just one point behind JWC.
Group F MC and Nada advance
In a thrilling game 3 and dominating game 5, Nada advanced past his teammate Inca in a spirit crushing fashion. DMP also had the wind knocked out of him, once again falling to third as both JWC and I nailed both predictions today.
Group G Clide and MarineKing advance
Clide won the group handily after a solid win against MarineKing, and LegalMind couldn't help but shoot himself in the foot after nearly stealing the second spot. Slightly more interesting than the games last night is the writers have now pulled even with JWC and are tied for the lead! Its a storybook ending as we head into the last group. Jinro and Idra FIGHTING!
Group H Idra and Jinro advance
You know our boys advanced, and in incredibly epic fashion. In what was easily the closest group of this round all four players brought their A game and provided one of most exciting and inspiring nights of SC2 thus far. Jinro made things more interesting than they should have been after a failed wall in game 2, but in the end Check and Ensnare could not find their way into the Ro16 despite their tremendously strong efforts. Oh yeah and the writers called it spot on to clinch the solo top spot.

Will the writing team prevail or are we simply chobos, failing in comparison to a fake scientist and man who wears wigs? Are the writers lost without the input of Lovedrop? Or are we all confused, but you know how it is? Only time will tell!
Final score:
TLW: 11
JWC: 10
DMP: 7
The TL Writers proved they know their stuff better than the GOM analysts, correctly calling an impressive 11/16 (68.75%) advancing players. JWC was only a single pick behind, but poor DMP with only 7/16 failed to outperform the average monkey.
When you need some analysts GOM let us know, we'll be waiting on those contracts. =)
