Looks like the foreigners all have good chances of getting into the next round. None of their opponents are super well known. Hopefully the quality of the Ro64 matches is a little higher than last season. There were some pretty embarassing games played like Idra's and Foxer's opponents.

Foreigners fighting! 5/5 in Ro32!

JSLZenith vs Kyrix looks like quite a good match-up. I was actually impressed with JSL's play against Tester season 1, though he did lose. It would be interesting to see how he improved.

I see clide/leenock and alivefou/zenio as the big matchups, particularly the latter. Other matches I'm anticipating Fruitdealer's ZvZ (highly praised but I've never seen one yet), and Gumiho's match. It's too bad he got such a tough opponent, but on the up side, playing random should offer the greatest benefit against Zerg opponents.

The order of the games is not indicative of full brackets, it's simply their ro64 matchups. In past seasons games have been played not in bracket order, so it's not a good idea to try to construct a bracket out of these matchups. When I find the brackets, I'll edit them in.

Looking forward to the bolded ones. Not a lot of good stuff going on in the Ro64, which is a good thing, IMO: leave it for the later brackets. Unless we see another dark horse like Foxer (or is it OptimusPrime...or BoxerPrime...whatever) again.

I like how many people are complaining about the huge number of TvZ's, completely ignoring the fact that a good portion of the Ro32 will probably be ZvZ.

Can't wait to see the actual brackets, these matchups look really exciting! GO JINRO!!!

Gooooo Random! But his opponent is pretty good on ladder.
Hopefully many Protoss will advance.
The bracket looks good, good job Junkka.

As with last season, it looks like days 2 to 4 of the Ro64 will be split into afternoons and evenings (Korean time), with the non-Korean players in the afternoon sessions (apart from Sen, who is on day 1) and the big-ticket Korean players in the evening (FruitDealer, July, SlayerSBoxeR).

It makes sense, of course, but it's kind of unfortunate, because now I feel compelled to watch at least one match in every block. There goes my sleep for a week.

Just switch to VOD viewing like I have for the last few GSL's. The GOM site is really good about being spoiler friendly.

Brackets seem ok, I think we really have a chance to get to the top.
Go foreigners!

How were the brackets determined? It looks rather artificial than random to me. Also do we know next rounds' brackets yet or they will decide that after RO64?

Not that I'm complaining bout the lack of transparency, just curious
