Code A Final Recap and Prediction Analysis
+ Show Spoiler +
My predictions in parenthesis
Losira 4-3 SuperNoVa (4-3)
For sure a worthy Code A final. Awesome game, awesome performance, a comeback, and the overall better player won the games. I recommend every single map.
Losira held solid pushes from SuperNova over and over and over again with the exact right amount of units, and SuperNova displayed wonderful macro-oriented patient terran style, a player to look out for.
Set 1: Losira < Crevasse > SuperNoVa (Losira)
Set 2: Losira < Xel'Naga Caverns > SuperNoVa (SuperNova)
Set 3: Losira < Crossfire SE > SuperNoVa (SuperNova)
Set 4: Losira < Metalopolis > SuperNoVa (SuperNova)
Set 5: Losira < Tal'Darim Altar > SuperNoVa (Losira)
Set 6: Losira < Terminus RE > SuperNoVa (Losira)
Set 7: Losira < Crevasse > SuperNoVa (Losira)
Up and Down predictions

Group A
I think HuK will practice like a madman, but I fear it is not enough. Inca and choya are both really strong PvP, and I don't think HuK has yet what it takes to get into Code S in a PvP only group this season. Bad luck for our fellow canadian.
HuK < Tal'Darim Altar >
+ Show Spoiler [Group B] +
Group B
The Group of death. And a week ago I would have called Nestea dead because of Leenocks ZvZ, because, lets be honest, MarineKind will slaughter whatever is left over of the losing Zerg.
But Losira showed Leenock is vincible, and NesTea will study those games very carefully and pull it off.
Leenock < Crossfire SE >
+ Show Spoiler [Group C] +
Group C
This is another insane group. IEM Champion Ace waiting for the loser, so both will do everything to not lose.
Fruitdealer will win the first match very close, and Ace will pick up the rest of what is left over from Virus, but again in a three mapper.
Virus < Xel'Naga Caverns >
Virus < Scrap Station >
+ Show Spoiler [Group D] +
Group D
Boxer could have gotten it worse, but it will still be a tough journey.
I think Zenio is slightly better than SangHo, and SangHo almost lost to MMA, so Boxer has enough information to take him down.
SangHo < Crossfire SE >
SangHo < Terminus RE >
+ Show Spoiler [Group E] +
Group E
This group is packed with crazy players aswell. Alicia performed a stunning run in Code A, MVP doesn't need introduction, and Genius is the BlizzCon champion.
Alicia will give MVP a tough fight, but still lose inevitably, and then sadly he gets Genius, who is quite good at PvP, this will go to Genius after 3 maps.
Alicia < Tal'Darim Altar >
+ Show Spoiler [Group F] +
Group F
Look at Group B, C D, and then look at this. Nevertheless, Hyperdub will go down, the other two are just better than him.
Rain < Terminus RE >
Rain < Shakuras Plateau >
+ Show Spoiler [Group G] +
Group G
Another all Terran group, and here, I see Polt dropping out. SuperNova knew why to pick him for a reason, TheBest will claim the second spot.
SuperNoVa < Tal'Darim Altar >
SuperNoVa < Crossfire SE >
+ Show Spoiler [Group H] +
Group H
Kind of surprising choice by banbans, but after this performance, I think Losira will be confident enough to take down Game 1 with ease, and Rainbow will lose to banbans aswell in the end.
Losira < Crossfire SE >
Losira < Shakuras Plateau >
Banbanssu < Shakuras Plateau >
Banbanssu < Tal'Darim Altar >
