Predicitions.

A: 1.Snute 2.Grubby 3.Dream 4.TLO 5.Moonglade 6.Tarson (Snute been good lately, toughest call was for third between TLO and Dream, Grubby gonna make out for sure, it might be at third or even first, but he advances, having Snute in the group Grubby finishing second looks like a good guess to me).
B: 1. Parting 2. Mana 3. Lucifron 4. Bly 5. Tefel 6. Siphonn (Parting no brainer, then there are 4 good europeans, i'd rank them almost equally to advance, but slight nerf to zerg just happened making things easier for me, Mana over Lucifron as I believe mana is going to win their duel)
C: 1.Yoda 2.Nerchio 3. Socke 4. jookTo 5. Verdi 6. DieStar (Yoda is code S terran and that says something, then there is Nerchio, at first I wanted to put Socke at fourth but then I thought that it's going to look like another underrating of this beast + recent patch so I got him over jookTo).
D: 1.Vortix 2. Kast 3. First 4. Golden 5. Daisy 6. Paranoid (Yes I do really think Golden will not make it out, Vortix has been beast lately and Kas is a Beast in general I put him over First cause Kas is going to win against him no problem as Kas TvP is brutal)

I don't have much faith in Nerchio's performance in this tournament. I could be eating my words.
Group D is very interesting. Rooting for the Spanish bros but Parting will take the gold.

I'd say that foreign players have just as much of a chance to win it as the Koreans. Now let's just abitrarily extrapolate this single tournament's lineup to all scenarios, and pretend that foreigners are catching up to Koreans :p
