Honestly, it's a fairly small sample size of games and players, and there is a decent amount of variance at this level of starcraft.

I was actually surprised at the Terran dominance we've been seeing because I feel in general that if the standard in Korean pros falls on average, then so should Terran. (as it's generally the most APM intensive).

The maps may or may not have played a role in it. It could she be the way she goes.

OMG, Hyun is back! It's sad that he eliminated Hyuk, but welcome back! If he makes it, I'm looking forward to the group selections. I wonder if he'll still complain that Taek Bang Lee Ssang is dominant still. This time I think it would be warranted.

Group 1: Leta (HyuN won)

Group 3: HoeJJa (Shuttle won, HoeJJa no-showed)
Group 4: Tyson (Shine won)
Group 5: Iris (Pusan won, Iris no-showed)

Group 7: Horang2 (NtO'Ho9 문기호 won) [Note: See below]
Group 8: Soulkey
Group 9: Jaehoon
Group 10: Mini
Group 11: Terror (Lazy won)
Group 12: free

6/12

Well we're all pathetically average.

Note on duke91's Horang2 prediction:

Horang2 did play in the tournament, but he was in group 12. Someone in group 7 had Horang2's name. duke91 may have predicted differently if we had known that at the time.

BigFan also made predictions, but he added like every name in the group to each entry so he is 1/12 and 8/12 simultaneously, averaging about 4.5/12.

I agree, and even there I thought Shine would make a fight of it. Most of the groups could have gone one of two or three ways.

I don't know if you can count Shine knocking out a stronger player an upset. That's just Shine being Shine.

Shine is man who broke Flash's strike (about 15 or 16 wins in official games) on last tving OSL (2012) against zergs. Very beautiful game.
Last official FvZ...

Bisu qualified in Seoul. This thread is for the Busan qualifier that happened after it. Here's all the people who have qualified for ASL season 3:
