It'll be interesting to see how spot-on the predictions are, I haven't followed the Afreeca scene too closely so while most of the names ring a bell I have no idea about how they stack up vs each other in their current form. Most of the predictions seemed reasonable, but as you mentioned in the writeup, I suspect Groups B and D might play out differently than predicted... My thoughts (not predictions) on the groups: Group A - I've seen IcaruS and Larva provide for many exciting games before, there's also Pusan who's basically my childhood hero, meaning I'm going to watch most (if not all) of the games in this group. PS: I don't think I've ever heard of Soma. Should I feel embarrassed by that? Group B - Prior to reading the predictions I had no idea about Mong's shaky performance lately, but since his play has impressed me so many times before I'm gonna give him another chance, if he plays really poorly for some reason I might skip his games... Or at least I would if he were in any other group, but as it stands Perfectman, Shinee and Saber have all showed talent and/or hilarious games before, so I suspect this will a group worth watching every single game in anyway  As previously stated I have no idea who's gonna advance in this group, which makes it all the more interesting. Group C - KangTaeWan was previously unknown to me, but then I saw one of his TvZ's during RO32 and had to see the rest, they were all extremely entertaining (and most were very educational as well). With Hiya and Killer also being in this group I don't think I need to give any additional justification for why I will (and why you should also) watch every single game in this group. Yeah, Hiya and Killer are almost certainly gonna be the ones to advance, but that doesn't make this group any less exciting. Group D - Sky and Cola are both cool, the 2 terran bros in this group I'm not familiar with. This is the group I'm personally the least keen to watch, but Cola might pull something off, and Sky almost certainly will. I might check out some of Ample's games as well since kjwcj gave him some cred in the predictions... but yeah I feel somewhat ambivalent about this group... Thanks again for the writeup! I <3 u long tiem | ||

I'll be sure to tune in whenever the ex progamers play. could say the same for many of the ex-OZ players. They didn't necessarily quit because they didn't have the chops, but rather they just couldn't get into another team after the disbandment .. a real shame. But all of these guys in the Ro16, are pretty amazing lol | ||

Group A looks a little weaker than the other groups. | ||
