Why? Hero, Movie and Mini all have a very good chance of advancing, and they could all pose a threat to Bisu.
Even as someone who said mini would advance into the ro8, I'd say only hero has a significant chance of stopping Bisu, and only Movie will advance out of the 3.

Hmm. I mentioned Movie and Mini because PvP can be a very unstable affair. But are you that confident in Kwanro's ZvP as to think that he'll eliminate Mini? I wouldn't rate it higher than Larva's.
I also see Hero as Bisu's biggest threat, so I'll be rooting heavily for Mong in the Ro8.

Unstable? Perhaps. A bo5 kind of negates it, however.
kwanro mini is going to be the best PvZ of all time. ALL TIME. ahead of snow vs jaedong series or whatever ever comes to mind
you just know it's going to be some crazy ling all-in vs probe micro -> hydra bust attempt followup where more crazy probe defense -> barely stabilize with reaver -> dope as fuck harass with reaver -> meanwhile ultraling gets secured and kwanro pumps a million units -> some 3 shuttles flying around the map with dt, ht, and reavers -> oh man suddenly some dark archon shit going to be pulled out for maelstrom -> maelstrom some overlord drop incoming with ultras and cleans it all up with storm
then rinse and repeat since both those guys are fucking crazy
Players KNOW what is coming and can't stop it. See: Kwanro's SSL Groups, everyother Kwanro game
He is a really damn good player, up till when he has to play the best, who are good enough to generally handle his style and then he is too predictable and not good enough in lategame to win. In other words, excellent PL player but not someone I would peg to win a League. I'm curious to see if Mini is up to handling what Kwanro throws, but my bets are
Hero < Mong hiyA > Movie Bisu > Larva Mini > Kwanro
Mong over hero because Mong looks quite good right now, and hero just hasn't show the same ability in ZvT as his stellar ZvP.
HiyA/Movie I'm like 52:48 type confident on. Movie seemed okay last group but not spectacular, and both guys can be a little unorthodox but are both very solid in the respective matchup.
Bisu v Larva doesn't need an explanation. Bisu has much better PvZ than the rest, and Larva wasn't even up to the task of handling Mini (who admittedly played well)
Mini v Kwanro I think will go to Mini, but perhaps in a close series if Kwanro proves tricky. Mini is the more well rounded player and very sound mechanically but we'll have to see how well he defends aggro lair zerg.
Ah Jangbi! He just didn't notice that first push until it was seige'd up Best storms ever again though so I believed in him for the last 10 minutes of the game which is why he is my favourite player to watch.
