The reason why Team Liquid has grown leaps and bounds since its inception, and especially since SC2 release, is because of people like this who dedicate themselves to bring AMAZING coverage of everything Starcraft. Great Job everyone involved, Team liquid would not be here if it wasnt for Code S people like you

Wow. I honestly wasn't terribly excited for the coming year in GSL, but this write up has me pumped! Here's hoping Jinro and Idra can make it out of their group! Foreigners make it so much more interesting!

Nice write up and predictions. Gotta agree that oGs-Liquid is the best team in GSL as well.

Just felt like I should say something,

For group E LeenockfOu, it doesn't give the score in the series between him and MarineKing. Nit-picky, but a great write-up like this needs to be complete, right? :D

Kinda fun IMmvp is both favorite and dark horse in this tournament. I really think he has shown good results lately, and I definately think he is one of the best terrans currently. He might take it I feel.

Can someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I have a feeling that this system sucks so hard, especially with results of group A in mind

Let's take this group for example:

oGsMC
oGsInCa
oGsNada
SanZenith

oGsMC is obviously by far the strongest player here, I don't think you can even compare Inca to him. SanZenith is pretty much screwed. Let's say he loses to MC and Nada wins against Inca. MC then thrashes Inca, who is out. The rankings would then be:

MC 2:0 advances
Nada 1:0
Zenith 0:1
Inca 0:2

Now Zenith needs to win 2 games against Nada to advance, while Nada needs only one. But NaDa doesn't need to play against the strongest player in the group, while SenZenith had. It makes no sense.

Not really the right place for system discussion.

I like how the first demotion prediction is already wrong; I suspect many of the others will be too.

A great writeup, I really enjoyed it.

@Odoakar
The system gives an advantage to the player with the highest previous ranking. This should help stabilize the top players and give us fewer upsets.
