I guess my prediction of Bisu + Hwasin in the semis fails 
In that case I have to say gooooo Bisu (because Terran sucks).
New prediction - Oov, Savior, Bisu, and B1 (either Ra or Stork).
Is it just be or is the lower left side of the bracket looking really easy? Canata and Xellos are both competent but nothing special, and Forgg isn't super impressive. I think whoever wins the B group has a royal (read: easy) road to the semis.

Group 1 winner Oov Oov > mind July > Gorush
Oov > July (in a close one)
Group 2 winner Bisu hwasin < Bisu (unless he is very creative) light < Kwanro
Bisu > Kwanro
Group 3 winner Stork Xellos > Canata
Stork > forgg
Stork >Xellos
Group 4 Winner Savior Free >>> lomo Savior > Nal_ra
Savior >>> Free
Group 1 v 4 Oov v Savior
Savior > Oov
Group 2 v 3 Stork v Bisu Stork > Bisu (barely in a classic matchup)
Final Savior v Stork
Savior takes it.
Savior is playing very well. I definitely expect him in the final 4. Kwanro might pull an upset. Oov could easily lose to July.

The only game of Bisu vs Savior that didn't look like bisu raping him (he still won though) I've seen was on peaks of baekadu. But, I think with the current MSL maps the games would be that good. Especially since Katrina is so good for bisu's style.

I think a lot of you are underestimating HwaSin (again). I think he may actually beat Bisu this time around. (He got sooo close last time)
So my Final 4 HwaSin iloveoov savior Stork

I like how everybody assumes Stork is going to win group B. I hope Ra does ;/

only four people can go to semifinal
one player from each pair goes to quarterfinal
edit: hold on are they using a different setup this time around?

Except Hwasin has a good chance at beating Bisu so
Sea vs sAviOr (great game!)
Hwasin/ Bisu vs Stork (either one would be a great game.)
Looks like it could potentially be an awesome MSL.
Other than those guys the other players I think stand the best chance of making the final four would probably be
1. July 2. iloveoov 3. Light 4. GoRush

Oov > Sea
and stranger things have happened than Ra beating Stork

I think Diggity's breakdown is pretty astute..
I think Hwasin has a chance of beating Bisu, but even if he does, Stork > Hwasin instead of Stork > Bisu.
I reeeeeeally want to see Stork v Bisu though at some point, preferably in the final four, although that would entail Stork beating sAviOr, which is a long shot.
Oov and sAviOr both seem to be back in form, which is exciting, but the groups we have left are a bit of a wild card. Sea or July or even OversKy might pull something out... although I think July is the only one with a chance against Oov, because Sea tends to crack under Starleague pressure.
Anyways..

it's not a matter of cracking under pressure. Sea doesn't get unnerved, don't you remember the proleague final with absolutely everything on the line? He was sent out for ace and he dominated.
Sea has run into a lair-focused management zerg with stellar muta micro in every league he's competed in, that's what's held him back. He struggles against this style of zerg.

Bisu vs Hwasin is going to be very interesting, I wouldn't be surprised if Bisu handles the pressure better to win, but Hwasin will push him to the limits (and it's by no means an upset should he win. That game's balanced on a knife edge). Savior's dominance still extends to his ZvP, although someone strong at TvZ could take him out should he get to the Ro4, probably not before then however. OOv has showed some excellent TvT of Late, so that mystifies things even more. I wouldn't be surprised however, if we see a Sea/Savior/Bisu/Stork Ro4, assuming Stork comes first in his group.
