I disagree with having JD so low purely because he possibly got the best map draw of any of the players in any of the up/down groups to the point where I expect him to advance.

Jaedong's ranking is a joke. MC said in an interview he lost like 30 practice games in a row to Jaedong a month ago. And Jaedong is quite likely favored against Yoda.

I watched JD's stream a few times and his PvZ is terrible, for every 10 immortal-sentry all in, he held 0.5
And Yoda beat DRG at IPL (with cheese). Wouldn't be surprised to see JD falling for the same thing here

The last time YongHwa was in a group stage he got smacked around by foreigners... MC and Flash will advance IMO.

i really agree that JD isn't the most amazing player right now, but he is still pretty decent. i would place him one or two spots higher. We will see how he does though

I don't think MC will make it out. Best he'll do is probably 3rd. I also feel like Yonghwa is still overrated. If I'm proven wrong, I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Jaedong is no Lowely, Yonghwa will be fine.

I had Yonghwa 1st, Yoda 2nd and Flash 3rd, but that depends on who wins the TvT. If Flash can beat Yoda, I think he'll advance.

Jaedong would have been 5-2 in proleague had he not missed the Nydus worm. I'm quite confident he'll do better than fifth place. The protoss players in this group are not so strong except for Yonghwa. (and he might be overrated)

Actually, I didn't watch the games, but people were saying it was 2rax, so I believed, since Yoda is (supposedly) not as good as DRG lol

I really hope MC comes into this in classic form. It would be sick to see him come in and show everyone their place. :D

Either way, I am expecting some high level Starcraft from the ultimate legends of Brood War, the highest earning SC2 player , and some high level mainstays; what more could one want?
