im pretty sure idra is in the best shape at the moment because he trains A LOT, even tho I heard just recently that Yosh have been playing a whole lot games on ICCUP with great success.
I'd say
1. Idra
2. Yosh
3. NonY

and Machine won't be last for sure.

I hate the fact that iNcontroL/LzGaMeR failed to qualify. Both really deserved to go, but it just wasn't their year I guess.

This will be a tough WCG, which makes it hard to pick a winner. While NonY, IdrA, Yosh, and G5 are probably the heavy favorites I would really like to see Machine (playing in his first wcg usa finals) and Future do well!

Good luck to everyone! Go NonY~

With this lineup, I'm pretty sure we (USA) will have a good representative at WCG!

Idra will definitely be the best player going into this tournament... but as we all know the best players don't always win. Else Jaedong would be champion of everything for 2 years running.

I hope you guys have some nifty all-ins planned. xD

I'm going to enjoy sitting back and watching the fireworks :p

This is going to be a really tough one to call, I guess Idra needs to win this though, to show that his training in Korea is really worth something.

But then again Machine is the only Zerg in it, so Machine fighting!

1. Idra.
2. Yosh.
3. Nony.

Yosh's TvP is siiiicccckk, but I think Idra's practice regimen will give him the matchup power necessary (particularly TvT) to win this.

I'm not sure about the time being.. But IdrA's TvT was absolute garbage before going to Korea... I'm not sure how drastically it has changed, but it is going to have to be damn good to even compete with Nyoken or Yosh's TvT.... IdrA will take this IF he has improved his TvT tenfold.
