I remember BeSt saying about that he wants to win a championship before he hits 30 (he already hit it on korean age) so this year is his last chance. Gogo BeSt, destroy them with your macro!

My gut would say that Soulkey is the favorite to win the whole thing, his play has been out of control since the KSL semifinals. But I'd really love to see a protoss win since there hasn't been many protoss golds in the last couple years it seems. It'd be really cool to see best or snow win, as far as I can tell neither of them have ever actually won a tournament.

Here's my impression of player tiers in the Ro16:
A tier - Soulkey, Effort
B tier - Rain, best, larva, sharp, last
C tier - mini, snow, mind, horang2
D tier - guemchi, modesty, sarscri, piano, calm

I don't think people are quite giving Snow the respect he deserves yet. I mean, he beat Flash in a BO5 during ASL S5 and placed second in that tournament (for example). Anything could happen in Group B.

I am going to make a bold prediction here and pick Larva to win the whole thing. If he focuses hard, I believe he can do it. But if I had to put my money on this, I would say Soulkey vs Rain finals.
Let's go.

For me your A and B are one tier and Snow belongs there too

Why nobody is considering sacsri ?
Guemchi&sacsri are ahead of Mind Horang2 and even Mini right now.

Voted best but this tour honestly could have anyone win it you have like 10 players all neck and neck essentially at the same level here. No clear favorite or mvp type of person at all imo.

Even with the map pool, and the fact that he is in the group of death, Soulkey is too scary to not be a clear favorite imo.
Id say hes winning the whole thing 30% of the time.

Agreed on Snow, I think he's been looking really good lately.
I'd definitely have snow in the 2nd tier of competitors at least

Great Groups, I think the P's and Z's will fill up the ro8. hoping for either effort, soulkey or Larva standing when the dust settles. Would love to see Larva go far this time.

Predicting:
Group A: effort & Piano
Group B: Soulkey & Snow
Group C: Sharp & Best (But rooting for Mind!)
Group D: Larva & Rain

Is there a Group of Death? Imo not really, but looking at recent history I would say Group B is the most "death'like" with
two KSL winners, and a ASL runner-up. (With MSL winner Calm thrown into the mix for nostalgic feeling^^)

I’m really hoping for some upsets. I think group B is the group of death. I want to watch that group the most.

I think the players who can win the tournament are:

effort
SoulKey
Larva
Rain
Last

In the next tier: Sharp, Snow, Best.

Who will advance:

effort/Horang2
Last/SoulKey (I don't mean to underestimate Snow but he's likely to face SoulKey twice and lose both times)
Best/Sharp
Larva/Rain

Can't wait to be live for groups A and B! Is there anyone I need to say hello to from anyone?
This is my signature. I love that I can have a signature here. I haven't had a signature since like 2008. It reminds me of the old internet. I wish I knew what to put here though.
