Jesus the new generation of pro's entering the scene... This competition is so fucking stacked and hard as fuck. I'm kind of proud that I've played over 20 persons that are on that list already... KaL rising is so beautiful to see for me seriously... 0201[KaL] is the best (with dissy) clanleader I ever met. This guy deserves every fucking kind of success that his players get for his clan. <3
Of course my support for Idra need not be spoken, but...
Idra Fighting!
That said let the jinxing begin:
Morning Groups Group 1: BeSt Group 2: Mind Group 3: July Group 4: Light Group 5: hyvaa (Although I hope Boxer) Group 6: Calm Group 7: HiyA Group 8: Really/YoonJoong
The seeds for the morning groups are good.
Afternoon Groups Group 9: GGPlay, Group 10: 815/DarkElf (Although Backho's recovery is a wild card) Group 11: EffOrt Group 12: SangHo/ FireFist/Bogus Group 13: Casy (Roro if Casy can't handle a Protoss) Group 14: by.great Group 15: Anytime (Hope Tossgirl) Group 16: Idk, but I call them for elimination in MST
Evening Groups Group 17: Midas / HoeJJa's Group 18: Pusan / Memory Group 19: Lomo Group 20: BaBy / NeeL (The later is only there because of his promotion to the Lecaf A team recently) Group 21: Again out in MST Group 22: PianO / DaezanG (If they bring their A game, if not Rock has a good chance (as do the others)) Group 23: Reach Group 24: Pure / Thezerg (Although since both are slumping anyones game) Group 25: GuemChi / sKyHigh
if Effort can't advance from that group he doesnt deserve to be on CJ
Morning Groups Group 1: BeSt Group 2: Mind Group 3: July Group 4: Light Group 5: Boxer Group 6: Calm Group 7: HiyA Group 8: Really
Afternoon Groups Group 9: GGPlay Group 10: Modesty (huge upset) Group 11: EffOrt Group 12: FireFist (hope not, I hate firefist) Group 13: Roro Group 14: by.great Group 15: Anytime Group 16: Shine[kaL]
Evening Groups Group 17: Midas (Hoejja finishes second) Group 18: Pusan Group 19: OversKy (yeah I'm surprised too) Group 20: Movie Group 21: Notice Group 22: PianO Group 23: Reach (rumor second) Group 24: Thezerg Group 25: sKyHigh
Here's what I'm figuring for the final match of each group from my not-so-expert analyses:
Group 1: Best > HoGiL Group 2: Chalrenge > Mind Group 3: Neo.G_Soulkey > July Group 4: Light > JiHyun Group 5: Hyvaa > SoO Group 6: Calm > Han Group 7: HiyA > BestGod Group 8: Yoon > Really
Group 9: GGPlay > Nbs Group 10: DarkElf > WarYong[saM] Group 11: Effort > Jaehoon Group 12: SangHo > Firefist Group 13: RorO > Shark Group 14: Great > Young Group 15: Anytime > Rumble Group 16: Shine[kaL] > Tester
Group 17: Keke > Tazza Group 18: Pusan > Memory Group 19: OversKy > Lomo Group 20: Movie > type-b Group 21: Notice > Saint Group 22: Rock > Daezang Group 23: Reach > MuJuK Group 24: Pure > oDin Group 25: GuemChi > Skyhigh

*please win*
Best is not going to make it, he's failed MSL like no other for the past couple seasons. Feeling a zerg player will deny him again
He lost to a Protoss last time, it was awful
But honestly, BeSt will make it out of this group. Even though he has been losing a lot, he has not dropped out of T1's lineup. He is obviously performing in practice, now he just needs to get his groove back when the pressure is on.

I think Anytime has the best chance that any ACE player has had in a while.

No, if you played in the last MSL you are automatically seeded into the MST. It's not like the OSL, where if you don't make it out of the Ro36 then you go straight back into the prelims.

So I just looked at that map pool, and I'm wondering why Medusa is still in the pool? I hate that map. In addition, winning a TvP Bo3 with Medusa and Destination seems like it'll be very hard.

Here are my picks for each group: G1: Best G2: Mind G3: JulyZerg G4: LuCifer (LuCifer vs Devil, GO) G6: Weak group. Probably Calm if he didn't lose his steam yet. Dongrae can pull his weight in offlines too, I'd watch out for him. G7: HiyA G8: Really (I hope ZergBong though)
G9: GGPlay G10: DarkElf! G11: EffOrt, no contest G12: Bogus, definitely. Even though STX not playing him lately might indicate that he's fading after his burst out performance, but I hope not. G13: RorO (I hope for Shark though) G14: by.great ofc G15: SHINIGAMI Anytime ~_~ G16: Ew. Well...Shine[kaL] perhaps? I dunno, it seems to me that Tester, koala, herb and Rage can also win this one. No idea.

Idra what are your chances of advancing?

You're overlooking the fact that one of the people he's up against is on the power rank atm.
I actually want Tossgirl to go through just because I think it will be entertaining and cause commotion within the starcraft community. Then again, Anytime is in her group...damn...

Power rank doesn't mean shit its just one mans opinion of what players are good in a certain month. Bisu who is #1 got beat by Fantasy 3 0 who isn't even on CBNC. And also its fucking Boxer. He can beat any player no matter how dominant or untouchable they are. Even on ace he showed us that spark and moments of pure brilliance that won him 2 OSL's and WCG's and an MSL. I think Boxer has really good chances and hyvaa is a Zerg which is Boxer's famed matchup which he practically invented. If he was playing a decent protoss I'd say he's not gettin out but I believe in Lim Yo Hwan!
My Predictions: Group 1: Best or Shine Group 2: Mind Group 3: July or Sair Group 4: Light or Lucifer Group 5: Boxer Group 6: Calm Group 7: Hiya Group 8: Really Group 9: GGPlay Group 10: 815 Group 11: Effort Group 12: FireFist Group 13: Casy Group 14: Violet Group 15: Anytime Group 16: Shine[kal] Group 17: Hoejja Group 18: Pusan Group 19: OVERSKY Group 20: Baby Group 21: Notice Group 22: Piano Group 23: Reach Group 24: mvpZerg Group 25: Yellow!

Reach!! Yellow!! I is rootin' for you guys!!
Something tells me it won't take Anytime to knock her out.
Would have been nice to see Crazy-Hydra in a broadcasted game actually. Hes mostly known for displaying inhuman muta-micro in that zvz replay a year or two ago.

They start playing at 10:00 but they don't broadcast until 14:00 iirc.

There is a section in the OP called "How to Watch." Seriously.

Kinda hard to hope for someone who's in the same group as Boxer, as well as Hyvaa, who is a better player. If I'm going to hope for an underdog, it's gonna be Boxer, not Ganzi!
I'm looking in my daum player for the 14:00 feed. Both feed I get are cartoon. I've been away for a while and just returned so I'm a bit lost. Would be nice if someone could break it down.
