Is there nothing to be said for respect for a phenomenal player? Players go through bad spells, mate. If we were talking about a player with no track record of winning foreign tournaments and playing toe-to-toe with Koreans then I would agree with you, but IdrA has far too much history to be bumped off this list. He also starts in R5 of the Open Bracket so he has a sizeable advantage over his fellow OB players.

I think HuK and NaNiWa should have definitely been a lot higher, as they have both won before and almost always place top 4.
NaNi vs Stephano finals ~ heard it here first!
Ret and HuK 3rd and 4th
Hope the Koreans lose! =)
there is not a snowballs chance in hell koreans don't make at the very least 1 top 4.

well he did beat SuperNova at IEM

No KawaiiRice in the list T___T!
*butthurt*

good list, I can dig it, balanced and thought out.....
...unlike the game!!! haha lol jk

I think Thorzain is rated too highly. I also expect Idra to perform at this event.
Grubby line seems completely reasonable. I've been using him too for some reason (I don't see Thorzain above the Grubby line). I don't hate Thorzain either I just... don't see it.
Anyone else excited about MC vs Stephano if it were to go down? MC claims he won't ever lose to Zerg and Stephano thinks Toss is underpowered. I see MC taking it but it would be cool to see it happen again. (I think they last played at.... Blizzard cup?... maybe....)
DRG will win unless he runs in to MC. DRG is better but MC is too strong against Zerg.

Anyone can beat Supernova if he's not in the GSL.

SuperNova is still a great player and beat Kas, Real, and Darkforce at that same tournament. and the guy said he can't remember the last time Idra won a series so I listed the last time he did. Although it appears I am wrong as Idra beat + Show Spoiler +Thorzain in the IronSquid groups

Go Huk! Hope you can put up a big win here and take over those rankings/moneys! 
|
IdrA is just too inconsistent, Im a fan of his but he just lacks the ability to win games he should consistently... Beating Thorzain and Supernova and then losing to underwhelming competition, he could be gone very quickly but at the same time I wouldn't be surprised at all if he beat Stephano or a strong Korean player

TIL there's a "Grubby Line" LOL. Interesting contemplation: Can I move above the Grubby Line, or do I make people go under? -
Haha, that's great. I can't help but pull for Grubby, hopefully 2012 is a good year for him. And he should make as many people go under his eponymous line as possible.

Still a great player, still far weaker than other Korean competition when playing in a foreign tournament.
