Most of the players probably play with low graphics, no need for a super GPU. 460 should run it sc2 on ultra fine anyway.

Pretty sure it's required by GOM to play on "High" graphics settings. I remember this from back in the earliest GSL opens - I'm not 100% sure if this is still required of players.

Woah, group A, D & E are terrifying.

Predictions:

A: MC / Supernova (Polt relies on gimmicky all in builds and theWind has to spend too much time coaching to practice effectively, especially with 2 team mates in the group)

B: Byun / Rainbow (Hard to pick with all terrans, Byuns TvT is quite good though, as is Rainbows. Plus I think Rainbow has a lot to prove at the moment while SC/Top have less pressure and I think won't be as prepared)

C: Losira / HongUn (I think Losira should cruise through this group while second spot will go to Hongun or Genius, and PvP is anyones guess to be honest. Kyrix is good but his old styles are figured out so he'll have to bring something new to stand a chance)

D: NaDa / Alicia (Alicia's PvT has been good, although rather risky as he relies on DTs and late detection which is easily exploited. I think he plays a little safer and takes it easily. NaDa already showed he can beat MarineKing and his decision making in base trade situations should be 100 times better now. Zenio is good, but I dont think he'll be able to take games off any of the other 3)

E: Nestea / Jinro (Jinro's shown poor TvP lately and I really dont know if he can take out San but im voting with my heart here. Either way, Nestea should cruise through and the winner of San/Jinro will be second, I dont see either of them losing to the solid-but-not-great clide)

F: Lyn / Killer (Another hard one, and probably the weakest group. Check and FD have both been inconsistent lately and either could easily advance, but I think Lyn should easily advance and SangHo looked solid and safe in Code A last season)

G: Trickster / Ensnare (Trickster should be able to take the group easily. Ensnare has looked good lately, but so has Anypro and I think the second spot is pretty even between the two. Virus has potential but didn't really strike me as Code S level yet and I dont think hes on the same level as the other 3)

H: July / InCa (July should roll this group easily, aside from the MC games where he played horribly, he has looked nearly unstoppable and I wouldnt wanna play him. Huk's PvP is awful even for PvP and InCa's is amazing and he should advance second, although anything could happen in PvP. Rain is awful and shouldn't be in Code S)

Where can you find the VOD? Or do we have to wait until the page for Code S May is up?

Next season looks very promising. Some really hard groups out there.

Group A: MC & Supernova (TheWind and Polt are clearly outclassed here)
Group B: That's basically impossible to predict. I guess TOP has the best chances of advancing while Rainbow has the worst, but everything can happen.
Group C: Losira takes the group. Difficult to say who will be the other player.
Group D: MKP & Alicia. Although Zenio and Nada both have chances.
Group E: San & Nestea probably, but Jinro and Clide can make it, too.
Group F: Another group that's really hard to predict. However, I believe that Lyn & Killer can edge out their opponents.
Group G: Ensnare is most certainly out. I'd be really surprised if he made it out. The other three all have a good shot at advancing, but I'd guess Anypro & Trickster will be the ones to make it.
Group H: July will probably stomp this group. Rain will most likely be the last one. I hope that Huk can make it, but Inka's insane PvP should give him the edge.

A: MC/Polt - As good as supernova is, most people seem to be forgetting that Polt beat him 2-0 in the up and downs
B: TOP/Rainbow - Tough group to call. TOP has the best track record in TvT's. Rainbow was impressive in GSTL.
C: Losira/Genius: Losira easily the best player. Hongun terrible at PvP and will lose to Genius. Kyrix not on the same level as the rest.
D: Alicia/MKP: Nada's lack of practice is showing. Zenio played well in the FXOpen but Alicia and MKP are sick vZ
E: Nestea/San: Wish all 4 could move on T_T
F: Killer/Lyn: Check and FD just not that good anymore

G: Ensnare/Trickster: Pretty weak group. Just going with my heart
H: July/Inca: Poor Huk having to start with a PvP against the 2nd best PvPer in Korea.

A: MC, TheWind
B: Rainbow, Top
C: Losira, Genius
D: MarineKing, Nada
E: Jinro, Nestea
F: Killer, Lyn
G: Tester, anypro
H: Inca, HuK

Really tough brackets for our two heroes.
For Jinro, it just depends on if he can pick himself up. If he can, I think he should be able to get to Ro16, though obviously it ain't going to be easy.
For HuK it all comes down to if he can practice PvZ and just stop July(which he couldn't in the world champ, where he just got outplayed). I've said it so many times, July doesn't impress me that much(that is to say, not as much as a grand finals player), so I think if HuK can figure out how to combat July's style, July is in trouble(I'm kind of ignoring MLG, since those huk v idra games were just so... well I know he's better than that).

Definitely look at John while talking. Just imagine it being a late night show interview. The actor will rarely look at the camera.
