Very brave picking HuK and Jinro - i am sure they will be practicing hard but anything related to Protoss usually spells demise for these two. It's kind of funny because you'd think with players like MC and Inca living in the same house your vP MU would be insanely good.

I am very excited to see my apprehensions be proven wrong - because at the end of the day i am just a massive fanboy of both those 2! Group E looks pretty incredible and the games there should be very high level! There are some interesting match ups - July vs anybody is always entertaining, i wouldn't be surprised to see another deep tournament run from July.

And finally, the groups are stacked against TheWind - this may be the year he falls out of Code S and is 100% a coach :p

I know Huk is a thread favorite, but he gets Inca PvP and then July... You can't get harder than that :\

lol I'm surprised no votes for jinros performance to be disappointing, I'm pretty sure he wont make it out of his group at all.

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 with this I think that he could have a breakout season apart from the first GSL.

Apart from that I think that Jinro will make it Top 8, Wind and Supernova advance, MC down to Code A (lol just kidding) NaDa wins it this season, HuK also to Ro8 at least, Boxer and MVP host Code A finals!! :D

Must be a little bit of foreigner bias going on because I do NOT see Huk even coming close to getting out of this group. His play lately seems uninspiring and he will go up against a great PvP player in Inca, which has long been Huk's worst matchup. If he loses that he is almost guaranteed to face July ... and we saw what happened last time those two met.

And for the predicted GSL winner ... Supernova!

Favorite to win: Alicia
Dark Horse: SuperNova
Probable Dissapointment: MKP
Guaranteed Demotion: Rain
Guaranteed Promotion: Ryung

Reasoning: Most of the other scary players in Code A he needs to beat are terran (MVP, bomber, MMA, Boxer) and we've seen how amazing his TvT is. If he takes 1st or 2nd he can pick polt or rain or both and have an instant ticket to code S

I am so PUMPED!

For me the player to watch is Losira. Ofc I am a fan of a lot of other players, but Losira just seems to have his own thing going. Alos, I hope July goes into Code A.

Usually when I read these write ups for every GSL, I always feel that the writers, often use the word "prediction" when in fact they are doing "promotion" when referring to foreigner advancements. The efforts taken in writing this is of course still acknowledged.

I can believe people picked MMA and Bomber over MVP for assured promotion.

Want me to explain it to you? I picked Bomber because not only is he godly at TvT as he has shown by beating MMA and NARROWLY losing to MVP, but he annihilated White-Ra in a show-match and is likely damn good at TvZ. Meanwhile MVP could very well lose to 2 good Protosses and not be promoted. It's highly unlikely, yes, but so was MVP going down to Code A in the first place.
