I even feel a bit bad for G and H... I don't want Rainbow to drop down to Code A, and I don't hate Rain like so many others do. I don't really care for Lyn, but he is border line Code S, and ensnare and bomber are Code S material.

Lol, if Ryung can take out MC, HongUn can possibly beat MC since it's PvP... heheh xD

Not the most professional tweet by HuK. IMO he really doesn't have any right to complain considering his Code A bracket was relatively weak (compared to the other foreigners', especially). But yeah, I called that his luck would likely run out in the up/down and get stuck with some elite players. Also a bit funny that his previous tweet was "WHY DIDNT YOU PICK ME MVP?//" as a joke then he actually gets stuck with a beastly group... So it's not looking good for HuK but Jinro stands a good chance.

I'd say they both picked TvT because it's easiest to 'cash in' on the skill differential in a mirror, and aggressive all-ins are nullified to a large extent by playing safe. And Rain/Rainbow/Lyn and Ensnare are definately the weaker terrans in up/down.

Group A: Keen, TrickSteR, san
Group B: CoCa, Jinro, Zenio
Group C: aLive, Byun, Check
Group D: Ryung, MC, HongUn
Group E: MMA, MarineKing, Huk
Group F: viOlet, Kyrix, TheWind
Group G: MVP, Rain, Rainbow
Group H: Bomber, Lyn, Ensnare

I really hope Huk proves me wrong! I wasnt so impressed with Bombers play, he has nice macro and technical moves, but his positioning and strategical moves arent as strong, in my opinion. I dont know if Rainbow can hold off cheese? If the game goes past 13 minutes, Im sure Rainbow will win though.

Did MVP intentionally pick names with "Rain" in it?

I don't understand why so many people are predicting HongUn over Ryung in group D, Ryung has a reputation as a TvT sniper, but he's not a one-dimensional player or something. I'm sure Cella is going to help him prepare some truly devastating TvP builds in preparation for Up & Downs. Personally I don't think HongUn is going to have a chance, but that's my opinion.

MVP: Won his 2 GSL championships in TvTs, is most accomplished Terran player in GSL
Bomber: Just rolled through Code A and won a Bo7 against MVP

What Terrans in Code S up-and-down are scarier to face than MVP and Bomber? Makes perfect sense that they would choose TvTs. Also, having to practice for just one match-up gives you a leg up in efficiency (and considering MVP and Bomber have been practicing non-stop TvT already for the Code A finals, they're already in tip-top training shape for that match-up).

Looks like a really tough group for Huk. Hope he makes it but I dont think he will. Jinro's tvz seems pretty solid and I cant see him losing to Zenio if it gets to that.

Gl to both foreigners. Group H looks like the group of death to me but just my opinion. Ensnare might be in Code unluckily, but its hard to predict.

Damn Group D is super unfortunate

lol have we been watching the same GSL? As I recall, in their last GSL meeting MC rolled over Hong-Un. Hong-Un either doesn't 4-gate or executes it poorly: either way, I find it unlikely he'll beat MC. Has Hong-Un ever showed off an impressive PvP series in GSL? Last time he played MC he went for a 1 gate DT build XD; unless he's improved drastically I don't feel optimistic about his chances.

Then again, in a Bo1 anything can happen.

a bit off topic but still GSL related. I think Nada is going to win GSL because whoever defeats MarineKingPrime in the GSL has won the GSL
