Voted for group D with Stephano/Mana/Sase/Puma, I think it will be the closest group. All of them are good players and all in good shape recently. Stephano is really strong in ZvT and ZvZ, probably even better than most korean zergs except DRG and Nestea, I think he can beat Puma, but I'm not sure about his ZvP and there are 2 protoss in the group. Mana and Sase have a chance against Puma too, even a small chance, depend on the mappool I think. And then PvP is still quite random. Anyone can take the group. Anyway about Stephano he is probably top5 for his ZvT and ZvZ, maybe not top5 overall because of his ZvP yet, but keep in mind he is only 17 and already plays very smart and calm, this kid will be top5 for the next 10 years if he keeps playing. For all other groups I see 2 players taking top top2 easily, so no group of death. Group A : MC and Kas, Group B : Socke and Select, Group C : Huk and Nerchio | ||

I see a clear favourite in each group, a likely runner-up and two underdogs. | ||

Some GSL spoilers about MC if you haven't watched his latest GSL games (GSL August) don't click). + Show Spoiler + MC getting his ass handed to him by MVP and Noblesse respectively, with two good Terran's in his group, we could be seeing the two time GSL champion fall into a bit of a slump. Also when he was called out as the Ace for oGs, he was beaten fairly soundly by Revival in GSTL. Note: I'm not badmouthing MC, he's likely the best SC2 Protoss, but you have to admit, recent history isn't going in his favour. With all that in mind I picked Puma, Mana, Stephano and Sase. I think a lot of people will predict Puma to take that group, but Sase's PvT is amazing and Mana has been showing great performance in the IPL. Stephano is also a stellar Zerg, and I think this tournament will really show off his skill. Anyway, those are my picks and this ended up being a lot longer than I originally planned ^_^ | ||

wtf, the Gracken alone is more than enough Drama for one group -.- ________________ I have my money on Stephano and Nerchio, sick potential and way underratet E: my hope for advances are easy: MC,Kas Puma;Stephano Huk,Nerchio Socke,Killer agree on the most part, but I suppose MC is gonna have a harder time fighting those 2 Terrans than Idra does (due to meatagame issues, not Skill:D) | ||

Considering the current state of the players, the best group is the Puma group by far. | ||
