Yikes. On one hand, it looks like a lot of fat is going to be trimmed out of code S this season, and a good number of awesome terrans are likely to be coming up. On the other hand, next season is going to be really T heavy. It's going to be something like ~17 terran, ~8 zerg, ~7 protoss or something very close. Not necessarily a bad thing, now we need the Z and P equivalents of Ryung, Bomber, MMA, etc. to rise up. :D

My predictions for up/down winners:

Keen
Tester

Jinro
Coca

Alive
Check

MC
Ryung

MarineKing
MMA

Violet
Kyrix

MVP
Rainbow

Bomber
Ensnare

It's tough for HuK, but let's not forget he can actually still play the game pretty well and only has to practice 1 matchup. I wouldn't name him a favorite, but I'd be the happiest person in the world if he ends up being the one to knock MKP out of Code S.

On a more positive note, Jinro should smash his group.

Oh and Rainbow should beat Rain. Rainbow is actually a legit player despite not doing very well, and unless he comes into the game depressed or something, it should be no contest.

I think there's a decent chance that MC doesn't escape, because he may do greedy or cheesy strategies. If he plays conservatively, I think he'll be fine.

13 terrans, 6 zergs, 5 protoss. This kinda corellates with the recent data on MU wins in Korea

Although we have 2 pure Terran groups, so 2 are destined to go down (ok, 4 are also destined to go/stay up).

Not their fault they were massively the best players in it

Like seriously, don't think there was one protoss that really impressed me in Code A this season :/

I don't think HuK is in that much trouble. He can beat both of those players. At least it's not PvP.

This. The top end terrans in code a are amazing players, some of the very best players in the world. the standard of play from protoss especially was mediocre at best.

I really hope huk doesn't come out intimidated and try to cheese whichever Terran he faces, like he did against MVP in the world champs. He has some chance against both mma And mkp, both are very beatable tvp.

Has Huk commented what his plans are if he drops to code A again?

I think he could accomplish alot more outside of Korea...
