If it was still last season, this group would be extremely easy to predict. Two players that perform better than the other two. However, with Jangbi's recent loss streak, and HoeJJa's decent ZvP, I believe HoeJJa will have the edge on the first set. Hydra is the favorite in this group, although his weak ZvZ might cause trouble for him against HoeJJa if there are any upsets in this group. Ssak is no joke either, he has shown in the preliminaries that he can take down an experienced player like Pure. Overall a hard group to predict. Hydra should take it 2-0, but any of the three other players could take the 2nd spot.


Again, we have a group with one clear favorite, Soulkey, and three other players that could possibly take the group. Shuttle has only played PvP this season, and he's not doing that well, considering how it's his best matchup. Canata's unrivaled MST records must be taken into account as well, and as long as he avoids Shuttle in the loser's set, he should be able to take the 2nd spot from this group.


Another difficult group to predict. Some might say Action is the clear favorite in this group, but Shine and Tyson aren't pushovers either. I think it will turn out to be either Shine or Action vs Tyson for the final set, and with Triathlon being the map for the final set, the Zergs should be able to take it home for the 2nd spot from this group.


free and RuBy should take this easily, unless Reality causes any upsets, which is very possible. HoGiL has no chance. Even his "good" matchup, ZvP, hasn't looked good in a while.


Another easy group to predict, Bisu is on a roll, and Really is 2-0 TvZ this season. HyuN loves to create upsets, but not this time.


With four mediocre players being in one group, I'll have to use their current momentum to predict the matches. I think it'll be a while until we see Lomo win on a televised game again. Horang2 has been playing rather well lately (except losing to Jaehoon of all players), but his weak PvZ might be his downfall with two good ZvP players in the group.


ZerO and Midas are clear favorites in this group. Anyppi may have beaten BaBy in the preliminaries, he still has yet to prove himself, and soO, unlike Hyuk and s2, will always be a T1 Zerg.


Leta is the huge favorite in this group, and he should be able to get through 2-0 no problem. The second place is hard to predict, because Little July is very inconsistent and PerfectMan has the momentum from his recent Proleague victories. Juni also has a good chance if he meets PerfectMan in the final set, but it'll be hard for him to get there.


Skyhigh and Stork are the clear favorites in this group, and I don't see any upset happening here. Jaehoon might fail miserably to yCh in the loser's set for hilarity points though.


Stats is the easy favorite in this group, and HiyA would be the 2nd favorite if it hadn't been for his recent slump. HiyA is definitely a better player than hyvaa, but hyvaa just might be able to take HiyA down. Don't count on it though.


Taking FrOzen out of the equation right away, Snow, Violet, and Killer are all good players. Out of these three, Snow has been playing the best lately, and although I think Violet might take Killer out on the first set on Aztec, if they meet again on Triathlon, Killer should be able to take the final set.


Who is sHy? He beat Tiny and Sharp in the preliminaries, but that doesn't really tell us much about how he can perform against players that constantly play on Proleague. Hyuk and Movie would normally be the favorites in this group, but Hyuk has been MIA this season in Proleague, especially since it's Bo7 now. Something must be up, and Classic's lucky chin should be enough for him to defeat Hyuk. Movie vs Hyuk in the final set is difficult one to call, especially since the map is Triathlon. Either could take it, but I think Hyuk has a slightly better chance on that map.
