B: I'm predicting Action to take this unless Mind decides to play to his full potential and crush both these zergs. Alternately, hero could beat Mind and outmicro Action to death. Wait, hero can't micro. Nevermind, Action.
C: Tyson's actually pretty damn good, one of the new players I have the most respect for. ForGG is still ForGG though. This one's a bit too close to call, but whichever one makes it through will stomp Clam. I'm saying fOrGG by virtue of experience.
D: Skyhigh is amazing vs T and pretty meh vs everyone else. Modesty sucks, though. It's kind of irrelevant whomever wins this, though, because Pure is just so much better than either of them, plus he has a tendency to go incredibly deep in the OSL. Pure.
E: Lol, poor MisO. Baby should win vs. MisO, but has he recovered from his slump enough to beat Kal? Baby's playing a lot more like the old Baby recently - still some mistakes in his play, and he still dies to early cheese way too much, but he's regaining the spark he had last season. Meh... I think Kal's overrated. Baby, don't prove me wrong.
F: F is for Fantasy, and F is also for Fail, as in, what the players facing Fantasy are going to do. Free pass to the Ro16 IMO for Fantasy.
G: Group of deathhhhhh. Tough to call. If Snow beats a red-hot Soulkey somehow, Hiya's done. If Soulkey beats snow, Hiya's probably still done. Not much hope for Magikarp here. I'm calling SoulKey.
H: Leta is playing like crap, great always plays like crap, and Paralyze is... who the hell is Paralyze? The anti-group of death, Leta's probably got the most skill out of these three, but he slumping so harddddd. Paralyze, because it would be really entertaining to see this guy make it to the Ro16 before even playing a Proleague game. Plus, he's got Bisu and Best as mentors, that counts for something.
I: Barring a Hyuk-ing, it will probably be CuteAngel.
J: Tempest is bad, Hydra's ok, but I'm predicting the Kwanroll. Kwanro.
K: As much as I really really want Chintoss to win, I don't know if he's good enough to beat ZerO in his worst matchup vs. ZerO's best matchup. Ah well, go with my gut. Stats, but don't be surprised if it's ZerO.
L: Poor, poor Shine, getting seeded into Bisu's group. Nobody cares about that other guy in this group. Bisu, with style.

Tyson's actually not new at all... he's been around for a while now and has been constantly alternating between "promising" and "bad" for his entire career.
Just look at the games where he beat Jaedong 2-1 (spoiler: he played brilliantly) and then look at his Bigfile MSL game against Jaedong (spoiler: it was absolutely pathetic). Tyson defines inconsistency.

People probably don't recognize him because he used to go by Han. He's been around for like 3 years and has been terrible, much like most of MBCGame's second string players.
But hey, legend of the fall and all that jazz, even perfectman is getting wins.

Well, looks like he's in the middle of a "promising" swing. He's beat ForGG, should beat Clam pretty easily.
Damn this is gonna be one sick osl, jaedong's gonna try to clear up his name and finally beat flash and make an argument that he's the best Zerg player to ever play BW, and finally prove that he can beat flash. Of course we also got the ultimate weapon, flashwho is also gonna try to make a statement saying that he is very best BW player to ever live. If flash wins this tourney, he will have 7 major tourney victories (osl, msl, wcg), more major tourney wins that anyone who has ever played BW. History could very well be made in one of the last OSL tournies.

I would laugh at and punch anyone who denied that Jaedong was the best zerg of all time. That being said he desperately needs a victory over FlaSh if he is going to contend with him for title of best player ever.
OMFG 30 seconds to mars! Didnt notice since sometimes streamers play kpop until the countdown to the game begins. Hope they use more 30stm in this season's intros.
