Why no love for Rainbow? Sure, he hasn't produced any results in a few months, but he played brilliantly in the latest GSTL.

I agree hes been doing better

Guaranteed Promotion?
Hot_Bid: (T)Bomber
tree.hugger: (T)Bomber
Divinek: (T)MMA
Kinky: (T)MMA
Xxio: (T)Bomber


This is too true, both these players are gonna dominate the Code A games. And I love how as the GSL keeps going, the distribution of awesome players keeps improving. I can't wait for these matches!

bias view.
obvious (P)HuK and (T)Jinro are not WhO to advance
in my (P)Point of view (P)HuK is not a code S level ONE.

however i think one of them will advance.

i am sure if (P)HuK was picked by (T)Clide you will predict jinro and huk advance

If MKP makes it to the final I'm going to root for him regardless if Jinro or Huk is at the opposite side. He really deserve a win after all the great entertainment he has given us.

I would love to see a Bomber vs MMA for the Code A final.
That would be so epic..

Wait, Byun is a poor TvTer? Really? Does OP not remember how nail bitingly close that Code A final against TOP was? His TvT is pretty damn good.

Top's TvT is more like the Hulk trying to fit into a small hole. It works because the wall comes down but it's by not means "pretty damn good".

What are you talking about? I'm talking about Byun, and your analogy makes no sense. Even still, Top's play was beautiful in that final, and OP claims TOP's strong point is TvT.

I'm afraid I'm going to agree with you . HuK's play is good yes, but not code S material.

This guy is an up-and-coming Terran, narrowly losing the GSL Code A finals 3-4 to Losira. A former BW pro (By.SaiR) he has been rising steadily through the oGs ranks and must be considered one of the top terrans in the world, given that last season's Code A competition was probably better than Code S. SuperNoVa should easily leave behind the two weakest members of this group and has a strong chance to win it, the next round, and perhaps the tournament.(???) Tuesday will be an early indication of whether his form last season can be repeated.

Does no one remember that he got 0-2ed by Polt in the up/down matches?

By the way why are the staff hyping Supernova so much? He's good, but not thaaat good.

Watching his stream, I think Huk's play is code S level, but his play has been really shaky lately. Huk's play about a month or two ago actually looked stronger than his recent play, he's slumping pretty hard I think.

Byun made a splash in Code A back when that league actually wasn't as good as Code S.

He did however beat Killer, July and Lyn, before loosing to TOP in the final. All of them are predicted to advance to the RO16.
Good write-up though, loved to read it as usual

I hope the Liquid guys can get some good results. HuK barely made it to Code S and Jinro hasn't been showing the best results lately, so I'm a bit worried.

Hopefully we've seen the bottom of the Team Liquid slump and see a return to form.

Some rather questionable statements in the write up, but I guess the author is entitled to his opinion as much as anyone else =p

Groups D & E are going to be sick, ridiculously stacked.

I've had it with TL.
BoxeR not guaranteed promotion by any of the mods
:c(
+ Show Spoiler +
no I still love TL you dummy!

That said, all of the SlayerS team will be in code S next season.

Jinro will 3rax allin HuK out, dunno when that is, maybe finals or semi's.
MC will lose in the very first round and be very very sad.
1 zerg will make it out of ro 16 at tops. Maybe 2, Zenio and July are most likely IMO.
2 - 4 terrans including jinro will make it to ro8.
3 protoss still in the semifinals.

Kyrix, Lyn and Genius will all start their final downfall, only Lyn will hang on in code A for more than 1 season.
We will see 11 battlecruisers and 3 carriers in whole of code S.
1 new build will appear and stay with us for a while.
No match will make it to 5th,7th or 9th set.
There will be a protoss player who ~100% cheeses and 4gates(maybe 6gates incase of zerg) himself to ro8, maybe as far as ro4.
Where as 4/5 Terran cheeses will fail horribly.
A banshee will rack 33 kills.
World will indeed end in 2012.

With the current ladder placement I don't think Losira has a good chance, although I'll root for him as a favorite zerg
