Flash - Kal? JD - Calm? Stork - Shine?
seems like everybody is resigned to their fates
Flash - Kal isn't really a bad outcome, they have very good games together and are friends. Both should make it out of that group easily enough. Now if Kal ended up in JD's group, it would have been as depressing as usual.
Would be funny if both Shine and Mind make it out of their group after Stork was saying he was happy about the teamkill scenario.
Group A: Looking good for Flash. Kal is solid], but we all saw what Flash did to him in the WCG finals, and i'd take Flash over Paralyze or Hyuk any day. Second advancer is harder to predict. Hyuk's one good matchup is vP, so he can't feel too bad about this group. Likewise, Paralyze is still a bit of an enigma, so he might be able to do well. Still, smart money's on Flash and Kal to advance.
Group B: Jaedong's probably not looking forward to facing his teammate, but with two zergs in the pool he can't be too upset about the group. Likewise, HoGiL advancing this far is a fluke, and i give him no odds of moving on. Calm and HiyA are in competition for the second spot, and while Calm's vT is nothing to write home about, i have to favor him to advance.
Group C: Shine's excellent vZ isn't going to help him at all here, and mind isn't exactly impressive. Stork and Sea seems the clear favorites to advance, although who will advance top seed is harder to guess. Still, if Sea chokes like he tends to in individual leagues, we might see a mediocre player make it to the Ro8, which is always entertaining.
Group D: Neither of the zerg's are that great vP, so free's looking good. Him and Fantasy are the obvious favorites, but Hydra's been showing decent vT of late. Slight potential for an upset here, but on the whole free and Fantasy look like the safest bets.
On a side note, I'm rooting for a Flash v Stork series before this is over.
Shine in Stork's group. What a time for Protoss. All of them are going to have a hard time getting to semis. Legend of the fall just didn't happen this year.
Flash is in danger. the map of the First Game is AZTEC which is very difficult to T, and Kal is really good althought he have not beat Flash, but from the course of the match , we know he can beat Flash if he do a little better. map of second game is pathfinder which is a strange map，and Paralyze's strength is unpredictable. map of the third game is icarus, also is very difficult to T, and Hyuk have enough experience.

I think only two things could stop a Jaedong/Flash final: either they start in the same half of the bracket, or fantasy and oov create some amazing strategy, and fantasy plays at his top ability.
I didn't realise that stork has a winning record against jaedong and flash, and that free has a wining record against jaedong. Even so, I can't see either of them winning a five game series. I'm rooting for paralyze to walk the royal road. Go fro!
edit: ^^ two people from each group make it, so free would also have to lose to hydra or modesty
Would anyone be interested in adding english subtitles to this on YouTube? It's about an hour and 50 minutes long so it won't be easy but a few people have requested it.
