some quite odd opinions in the write-up, supernova winning code s? lets be real here..
and oGsthewind being outclassed in his group? he was inches from beating san in the ro16 last season in one of the cleanest ZvP series i've ever seen from a zerg player.

Also calling nestea vs san a snoozefest? was easily the most entertaining game from the entire last season. It's sad to see protoss hate even in the TL writeups, really dissapointing.

Predictions: IMNesTea, TLAF-Liquid'Jinro

I don't think Sony is sponsoring again this season. I think it's LG again.

Great preview, can't really argue with the predictions either. (Come on Jinro!)

Clide is a bit of a cheapshot as far as disappointments. His group is an acomplishment.

Lovely writeup as usual.

Sorry but this writeup makes me wonder if you watched the GSL at all for the past couple of seasons/team leagues...

RainbOw was fading, sure, but he's shown brilliant play ever since his up-and-down match. I actually think he's poised to make a comeback in this season, but you didn't even mention his recent performances. Likewise, Polt dominated Supernova in the up-and-downs, those games did not look reasonably close, but you didn't mention that either. I don't see how Supernova can be favored to win the entire tournament after losing to Losira, Polt, and Ryung in uninspiring fashion.

Code A being stronger than code S last season? You really think if they extended up-and-down matches to all 32 players, that more code A players would win than code S players? Of course not. That comment actually makes me angry, it's like an insult to the players who worked hard to achieve and maintain code S status.

Also, you called san vs NesTea a snoozefest...a snoozefest?!?! That game is rightfully heralded as one of the most entertaining and recommended games in the history of the GSL. How can anyone not be looking forward to a rematch between those two?

Sorry but there's just so much misinformation here, it really upsets me to read. A lot of people probably rely on these recaps to stay informed.

This. Inca's best matchup is probably his PvP and I don't see Huk getting past him. Tbh, I still kinda feel as if there are people in code A now who deserve Huk's code S spot - he had a pretty easy way to code S.

I am looking forward to Losira tearing this up. As long as someone take's out MC on their way up, I can see Losira winning this whole tournament - and I want another Zerg to win badly.

Group A:MC, Supernova - duh!
Group B:Top (his macro will carry him through) Byun
Group C: Losira, Genius (Kyrix's ZvP is still weak)
Group D: MarineKing, Alicia - this one is the hardest to call. Alicia is guaranteed to go through with 2 terrans in his group. But its always possible that Nada > Marineking, especially if Marineking does something that doesn't involve marines O.O! Also, Zenio ZvT is pretty strong and I can see him beating on the Terran's for sure.
Group E: San, Nestea - sorry Jinro but San's PvT is amazing. Problem is Jinro's got a defensive style against someone with an even stronger defensive style and its definitely Protoss who can afford to turtle to a deathball more in this matchup. If Jinro does some sorta mech style, he might take it. GL!
Group F: Fruitdealer, Killer - I'll never count Fruitdealer out, never. Plus, he's getting a juicy salary now so I really hope he's put more time into practice.
Group G - anyPro, Trickster - Easiest group of the lot imo.
Group H - July, Rain

Favorite to win? - Losira
Dark Horse? - Fruitdealer :D
Probably disappointment - Nestea/Tester
Guaranteed Demotion - TheWind - he probably wants to coach anyway >.<
Guaranteed promotion - MMA and MVP. Bomber's quite overhyped imo!

Excellent recap, although I think they're being too tough on TheWind (Huge bias, but who cares)

I'm going with Hot_Bid and saying LosirA to win. Group E & D are pretty tough groups, I feel sorry for Jinro and NaDa.

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

I was curious about this so I looked up his profile and you're right, his ladder record is pretty mediocre.. nearly 500 games played since ladder reset, 50% record, not even in grandmasters. While MKP, Bomber and Polt are over 70% win rate. Of course this doesn't mean anything necessarily but it's a bit strange considering how impressive he was in Code A and GSTL.

Not mentioning MVP in "Guaranteed Promotion"? lol just throwing it out there
Let a man play chess, and tell him that every pawn is his friend. Let him think both bishops holy. Let him remember happy days in the shadows of his castles. Let him love his queen. Watch him lose them all.

How could y'all forget that MVP is in code a? Sure Bomber and MMA are good players but MVP is right up there with MC as contender for best in the world right now. Watch him rip through every nerd standing in his way to code s.
