Coca/Rain/Nani/Huk is just a terrible group to be in, everyone is skilled, and then add a player who had to make it through the open bracket, so probably another korean. | ||

Select is a bit hard to call since lately he seems a bit swingy, but if he's playing to his top level he's just as good as idra / ret / sheth / sjow. And the way I see it is that there is a number of players of clearly lower caliber in the pools spread out quite evenly, with only inc in group A but two in all the others (Moonan, Kiwi, Machine, Haypro, TLO and Slush), so if we assume these players only beat each other barring big upsets the top 3 of the non-A groups pretty much decides their order. That's why I put C over B and D. | ||

IdrA: The Gracken himself, a guy who if he doesn't lose focus, can beat anyone with his super solid macro. Bomber: Considered one of the best Terrans in the world, and certainly one of the best players traveling to Raleigh, he's definitely a favorite to win this whole tournament. SjoW: The Blind Terran who won IEM Europe against some of the scariest players (Manner Toss himself). Machine IdrA's teammate, and a great Zerg. Though he doesn't have the best record at MLG's, he could definitely win. + Show Spoiler + And then, the favorite to win the group and the entire tournament. Feared by players around the world, as the most godly Zerg in the world. World renowned, and while EG would have preferred to pick him up, they had to settle with his teammate HuK as no amount of money can purchase a god, Who's. Name. Is. HayprO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!+ Show Spoiler + | ||

TLO and SeleCT haven't won a total of 3 sets in the last two MLG's during Group Stages. It's not undermining players if they perform horribly. Plus, out of CoCa, NaDa, Bomber, and TesteR, I think that TesteR may be the weakest Korean Invite. NaDa and Bomber both are fantastic players who I would definitely say are stronger then TesteR, and CoCa recently got traded to SlayerS so he has plenty of practice partners to make his lacking match-ups better (ZvT and ZvZ). CoCa has some of the best ZvP in the world, so I wouldn't be surprised to see him beat HuK and NaNiwa. TesteR is a great player, but he isn't as scary as other Koreans at the event. Then the last person is Slush, who's great, but isn't scary. I mean some of his games were really interesting to watch (I don't play Zerg, but I really liked his double Roach Warrens for both claws and speed really fast), but Pool C is far from the scariest. Groups in order from easiest to hardest: C: Slush, Select, TLO, DRG, Tester D:Kiwi, Ret, Sheth, Moonan, Nada A:Nani, Huk, Inc, Rain, Coca B: Idra, Sjow, Haypro, Machine, Bomber HAYPRO BONJWA FIGHTING :D | ||

HAS to be group A - 2 of the best toss players in the world, rain who fucking destroyed at last MLG. Coca who is the second best zerg attending after DRG (yea even better then idra unfortunately) and then inc - obviously the underdog but PvP is fucked so he could easily take out HuK and nani. Im going with inc (dick) rain (head) HuK (heart) lol | ||
