group E, F, and L...(me want Korea!!!) Is it just me or the brackets are risky? As in, we might not be able to see Korea 1, 2, 3 or 1, 2, 4
HwaSIn, Stork, sAviOr, GOGO!! ^-^
Not to mention 'kuya' Byron/SteelHeart for Philippines! Hope he does well, hehe, my turn next year

btw, WCG's gonna be on my birthday week

If Korea wins, I'll think of it as Korea's (or just Hwasin's) birthday gift to me, haha.

Group H, 4 Zergs and 1 Toss...STACKED

Fix it. 2nd Poland is not Fosken, it's Draco. This group drawing sucks.. So many mirrors in the group stage.

Group H is so strong. All of them went to the finals from the 1st place in their countries. Well.. almost all. Some random guy seems to have passed from the 3rd place. Clear underdog.

haha, nice one

It's best of one. I'm sure Savior will lose to someone, I would think Mondragon, since he's such a smart player.. Testie could only win with a cheesy proxy or something like that. I think when playing BO1, it's a very different game, one has to play more defensive, and most likely fall back in economy/tech. I saw the replays from qualifiers and Mondragon plays a very different z vs z game, based more on skill (he's now at around 200 apm vs his old 130ish ) than in outsmarting his opponent. I'm a Savior fan, but I always liked Mondragon as a player. I wish both of then the best of luck !

The foreign scene is all about Zerg... the pro scene all about Terran. That's pretty weird, but fun. I would watch ZvZ any day instead of TvT though. Firstly there's no chance they will last for 40-60 minutes. Secondly I just loooove muta micro. (H)

I for one hope we actually see someone compete with savior. I'd love nothing more than for a korean to not make it to the final 16. Best of luck to both mondi and testie.

Hwasin or Stork have to get 2nd in their group. Otherwise they will meet in the quarters already. And Savior in the semis afterwards. If one of the two finishes his group second the koreans could end up at 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

Just noticed that Testie only really needs to practice against one race if his concern is groups.

As for Koreans getting 1,2,3, a good system (Single elimination wtf) should allow that to happen.
I don't understand why WCG is not double.

WTF?! WCG NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE BRACKETS!!!

A -> obviously Midian and Draco are the favorites
B -> Breakdown and Lowely are favorites but Greece #1 could change that I guess...
C -> Actually a pretty good group depending in part on who USA #2 is...
D -> ROFL? Androide and USA 1st are the obvious favorites though iirc ass isn't too bad... but at this level, he's a non-entity
E -> Hwasin and f91 duh... anything else is an upset
F -> Stork and then either White-Ra or Ex... Stork will probably go without a loss
G -> ROFLMAO, weak ass group. PJ... Italy has some decent players I think, but nobody who is a real entity at this level iirc and the others in that group... unless they've improved like a whole hell of a lot (which I doubt), they are just fodder for better players to march through
H -> WTF?! Savior, Testie, Mondragon and Reason all deserve to make the round of 16 imo. One of them should be moved to group G and one of them should be moved to like B or D or even A or E wouldn't be THAT bad (3 real big names in 1 group isn't too bad)
