However, while at that time he seemed shaky, ever since being back from the qualifiers he seems to be more self-confident so I hope he won't have a problem this time beating out Guemchi and Horang2. Edit: Oh, Guemchi was in that group actually in ASL3. Time for revenge, Commander!!! | ||

I can imagine more than two players finishing in advancing position in groups A, B, D, E, F. Group C is the only one where I would wager without hesitation that Best and Mind will go through. (Although I guess Rush will try to take revenge for that hour long Fighting Spirit decider they played with Mind last season.) | ||

Stork will make it with power of love like what happened in Busan :-) | ||

Obviously that should help a lot. I don't want to derail the thread though so here's something else: How's Movie's form? I didn't see his qualifying run but if he's in a not-bad form the group might be hard for JD. | ||

They'll have to play the game of their life to win, and you can't pull off miracle wins but 1% of the time. This is interesting to check out: Shine v Light -- I think if someone Shine can figure out a strat that beats Terran. And Light's TvZ is not the one we got to know in the pro days. Even with the map imbalance I'd give Shine 33%. Effort v Horang2 -- This is hard. Effort has been losing on Sparkle left-right as far as I can see it, especially against P. Still, Effort is Effort and he thrives in chaos, so I would give him at least 15%. Calm v Best -- Probably this is the 1% match, even though Best's vZ is not as strong just pure skill difference and the amount they've been playing makes me think this is almost impossible for Calm. Soulkey v Mini -- Mini has been great! With that said on the big stage he never performed like on stream where as SK is quite the opposite. I don't know what percentage I'd give but definitely above 5. Jaedong v Movie -- I think Jaedong has at least 33% here as well. His perseverance always helped him out in impossible situations and I haven't seen Movie play for at least half a year. He might suck, regardless of what the map is. So while I agree with your general sentiment, I think giving literally 1% without exaggeration is a tad bit too much. | ||

I had the extreme luck to be there when the SSL9 finals happened and it was something I'll never forget. If you can, I definitely recommend you go to as many matches as possible! Have fun. | ||
