Definitely Naniwa. Don't really like his personality, but there's no denying the guy has got the determination and dedication to make the Korean training regimen work for him. He's already got raw skill and some results, he's just missing the Korean scene. I don't think we'll see results right away (will be lucky if he makes Code S), but he'll come back a better player.

Naniwa, Thorzain and Jinro all have a pretty good chance to do good. It all depends on their mental state of mind. I have not watched Sase that much, and I also don't believe he or Fenix will do too well.

Jinro he has had the most experience playing a event at this caliber and though may be in a slump atm once he gets past this hurdle, can see him easily back in code S

where else Naniwa struggles with foreign events, and does not seem to do well with Koreans. maybe when he put his time in like Jinro can he possibly win my vote

I have a feeling they will all do very well, but if I were to bet on anyone I would choose Naniwa or Thorzain.

I think Naniwa. Would have voted ThorZain, but he's playing a Zerg in the first round, which is his weakest matchup...

Jinro is undoubtably the person with the most solid training regimen. I can't believe his past acomplishes and training regimen counts for nothnig to you people.

NaNiWa, being so experienced and in his own way has a spidey-braintingling-sense.

Was a hard poll for me, Jinro knows the korean scene really well, but nAni and ThorZaIN are both so awesome, but I'm still rooting for ThorZaIN gogogogo!

Naniwa and Thorzain are about even, but Nani's path is a bit easier. So him

I think we have to look at it as who has the potential to grow even more while in Korea. Jinro IMO has peaked already and as Chad Ford would say, has doesn't have much more upside. Nani and Thorzain are already among the best foreigners, and I can't wait to see how much more they can improve with some decent Korean training!
