When I wrote the Predictions article, it was three/two days ago before HomeStory Cup where Huk beasted in PvP.

Also next week I'll do a fun article. Might do a Power Rankings on team uniforms/jerseys.

Thanks! You should put in some quibblers for those guys who just skim through and act like they've read anything though, like "I know, i know....u guys think A will win, but B is...."

Oh and if the schedule image is confusing, use this one:

a wishful thinking that Slayer Boxer advance to Code S again or at least don't drop out of GSL all together.

My #1 wish for this season is for Polt to lose in group stages and get knocked down to code A (and then preferably out of Code A). Maybe then I can stop hearing this nonsense about him being the "4th best in the world" or whatever.


He's 2nd ELO in Korea, just won the biggest e-sport tournament of all-time prize wise, 4-0'ed in the finals, and is somewhere around 48-14 in his past 62 games.

It's hard to argue he's not around the top in the world at this moment. Could totally change starting now, but you can't look past his accomplishments.


Yeah, but. . .have you seen him play? Maybe he is the fourth best player in the world but I really hope he isn't and that this season proves it. If he remains at the very top with a similar. . .uh. . ."style" I'm going to cry.


I have a feeling that Keen or SuperNova will have a good tournament. I really like both players and keep waiting for SuperNova to do well. Maybe this is finally his time. Sadly, they're going to have TvT gods to fight in the Ro16 if they even advance.


What do you find offensive about a low worker, high aggression style? It's just like Kyrix except it works.

Just looked through your Code S predictions. Now im going to give some thoughts.

Code B+ Show Spoiler +
I really don't think Violet is getting out of his group. I was a fan of his as he made his run through code A, and after seeing how down right baller DRG was, i though there might be more too him. However he's showed really odd play in more recent games ive seen. He doesn't take advantage of leads by expanding, or teching. He just makes more army. That's not the right mentality for a Zerg player.

He might be able to beat Anypro since his PvZ is based around hoping his Z opponent doesn't make enough army. As a Zerg player, i doubt Violet gets out of his group.


Code C + Show Spoiler +
Agree FD should make it out of this group with Top. Was actually impressed with FD's ZvP vs Ace in the Super tournament. Infact had FD scouted and Killed that Proxy Pylon vs Ace on Metal he would have won. FD ZvT has always been his strong suit.


Code D + Show Spoiler +
Agree but i think Coca is stonger than you think Not sure if that will mean he gets better than 4th place, but i would only be surprised if he takes a game off of Losira. I can see him taking one of Alicia or MKP, (not that its favorable %) But i can see it.


E = Agree (Zenio did make Jinro look silly last time....but i've learned by now not to trust Zenio's flashes)

Group G is quite even in my eyes, Anyone could come out of it.

Group H. If Bomber and Mc didn't play each other first it would be easy to predict. But as is Im not sure They both come out of this group necessarily. Think Kyrix will take Inca, Inca's PvZ is underwhelming.

Lol on that list thing Bomber is way too high. Losira Alicia and Sc should all be ahead of him. In fact Nada and July as well.

Unlike Sea, MKP is one of my favorite players.

Great writeup!

uhhh what

They're almost polar opposites besides the fact that they are both upper tier Terrans.

Sea is a team league guy, who falls short in individual leagues where he's never made a finals. MKP sucks in the team leagues, and has 4 Silver Medals in major tournaments, and gets far in almost every GSL.

I honestly don't Violet/think will make it out of his group, his ZvP is awful especially after the GSTL
+ Show Spoiler +
scout air? don't make any spores, get blocked by forcfeild?, don't retreat


I reckon Anypro will win this group or come second, he's the only consistent player in that group, he got knocked out after a very very close game during a period where Zergs were doing loads of stuff that Protosses weren't reacting to properly.

Ensare is terrible v Zerg and I don't know about Virus that much to be honest.
Go go Alliance.

People need to stop defending Polt by saying that he was doing bad until just recently blah blah, one of the worst in Code S. He never was. He won the first Code S Wild Card waaaaaaaaayyyy back in February, and 2 SK Gaming Trophies all the while while leading up to the Super Tournament. He wasn't bad, he was just secretly good, and people who don't actually pay attention to the Korean scene and the stuff that goes on OUTSIDE of the GSL were ignorant of that fact. Polt is great, and has been great. Just like San was never as terrible as people made him out to be, he just got lucky that one season by avoiding PvP, where as every other season he got knocked out early in PvP.

So, if you're going to try to defend/support Polt against the swarms of haters, at least try and get it right.

By the way, Winner plays Loser in Code S groups, so whoever wins in July vs. Tester will play against the forfeited spot, get a 2nd automatic win, and move on from the group.

After that the loser battles with Nestea to try to advance, needing to win 2 in a row to knock Professor Tea out (yea right).

Why is Rain named like "The-Player-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named"?

I didn't quite get it. Some kind of a joke?

Now that i've gone through the code A predictions all i have to say is that i pretty much agree.

People seem to be hyping Curious lately. Don't really understand it, especially after FXO vs ST.

So do I understand this right, that the first July vs Tester match is meaningless? Since the loser gets an auto-win and they rematch for whoever makes it out of the group anyway? :-/

Aha, unless this is true?

I just want to point out, winning the Code S wildcard is sort of anti-accomplishment as it means he was knocked out in the right away in the first place in January.

Oh yeah, MVP does exist, doesn't he. I forgot about him after so many big Korean names have been doing the rounds, and his early exit from the Super Duper TvTournament.
