That's a seriously nice line up. Really looking forward to... I guess most of these games. Zerg isn't looking that bad yet. oGs also looking strong in Group D!

I'm gonna call some Bracket finals the way I want to see them

A: Idra vs Maka. Ouch
B: Cool vs oGsInCa
C: Tester/TLO vs Check. TLO fighting! But it's going to be a tough round...
D: Ensnare vs ... a Zerg either way. I'm hoping for Gerrard. Who here can say they were 6pooled by Idra

If it turns out like that I would be one happy Zerg player.

EDIT: How did I miss CellaWerra in B? ZvZ final would be great

Who is this Trevor - TorcH guy?

A Terran unknown that's playing great right now. I'd keep my eye out for him...he looked really solid in the qualifiers (and kicking my ass repeatedly during warmups).

Jinro, Nazgul and Grrr didn't qualify, real shame, but there will be atleast 2 more Gomtv Tournaments this year, so they will have more chances

TLO's road to the final is probably the hardest but it's not going to matter these guys are all doomed.

many seem to overlook that there is already an ace-match in round one - JangMinChul (rank 7) vs polt (rank 6); especially since I think that JangMinChul is the 3rd best protoss-player in this whole tournament (1st tester, 2nd nexgenius); if JangMinChul wins this, he will play vs fruitseller soon...this could be a very cool match

I think nexgenius will win bracket D, finals vs ensnare

I'm sorry but exactly what I wanted to post, I really don't think Idra has a chance. Even if his opponent gets taken easily by Cella, Idra is simply not at the level that Cella's at.

Actually, idra is probably better than Cellawerra.

I feel that Idra has great chances of reaching the finals of bracket A. And if he is lucky enough, somebody would have disposed of Maka early on so it's very likely that we see Idra in Ro4.

Cool will breeze through his side of bracket B and can beat whoever advances from the right. I hope to see Torch doing well.

Tester on the same side of the bracket as Artosis and TLO... That's either very bad luck or discrimination against foreigners :s However, after Idra beat Tester in the KOTB, I see a glimmer of hope for TLO and Artosis. Check will most likely make it out of the right side of the bracket. It's a tough road for TLO, but maybe he can make it.

Is it only me or is bracket D really stacked??? 5xPrime 3xOGS 1xWerra! Whoever reaches Ro4 out of this bracket will have deserved it!

Here are my predictions (or rather hopes):
Bracket A: (T)

IdrA vs

MakaPrime
Bracket B: (Z)

Cool vs

Inca
Bracket C: (P)

Tester or

TLO vs

Check
Bracket D cannot be predicted... Probably (T)

Ensnare and (P)

Anypro on the left, right side is a tossup.

I guess you mean that all the Koreans that have to face TLO are doomed :p

KawaiiRice smoked Cella 6 - 1 yesterday,

It seems like Cella has a very mediocre late game (imo), but has very strong timing pushes. In any sort of game that lasts longer than 12 minutes, I'd give Idra the definite edge over Cella. Not even close.

허준과침 is actually better than what u guys may think. in stream of cella, 허준과침 was just playing around with the nuke. just trying new strat. i do not think idra will be able to win from what i saw in IEM finals.

Tester is currently considered one of the best protoss players on the planet. He's going to give a VERY hard time to TLO and Artosis. Not to mention in the end of that if they survive, they'll have to face Check.

This is goin to be very hard. Torch might have it easier if he's in the same shape as these guys. idrA seems to have the easiest route among these guys. I hope some foreigner goes there!

Seeing the finalized bracket is both disappointing and exciting. On the one hand, it's going to be the largest SC2 tournament to date, but it's missing so many awesome players like Huk, Kiwikaki, Sen, Morrow etc. Hopefully these guys will be able to participate in future GSLs.

From what I've seen, the skill disparity between the top players in Korea, US, and EU isn't so large like some people would like to think.

Regardless, it's probably going to be an awesome tournament.
