Socke vs. Ret
NaNiwa vs. BRAT_OK

This bracket is all foreigners and will guarantee a foreigner in the Ro4. Anyone can advance here but Naniwa and Brat_Ok are probably the favorites, though Socke and Ret are no slouches themselves.

HuK vs. PredY
White-Ra vs. Moon

I think Huk is likely to advance. PredY has had a great run, but Huk has had an even better one. White-Ra could defeat Moon, though, but it's a pretty even match overall. Huk is likely to make it through the entire bracket and into the Ro4, but if White-Ra wins against Moon, he could beat Huk in a PvP as well.

July vs. MaNa
Bomber vs. HasuObs

Both Ro16 games are foreigner vs. Korean, and both pit Protoss players against non-Protoss players. I think HasuObs has the better chance here despite it being Bomber, as Mana's PvZ has been one of his weak points. Still, I don't foresee a foreigner advancing from this round because while July and Bomber can be beaten, they are the favorites in these MUs against Mana and HasuObs.

MC vs. IdrA
Sen vs. SaSe

Neither Idra nor Sen is likely to make it to the Ro4, but it should be a good training experience for them (or at least Sen, if Idra decides to continue with his "ZvP is hopeless" mantra). I think Sen > SaSe is possible, though that will almost certainly result in a loss for Sen in the next round. Then again, MC is the favorite against SaSe as well, so this bracket might see MC knock out 3 of the 4 best foreigner hopefuls from DH.

They're 6-2 in total if you count Dreamhack Invitational where MC beat IdrA in a 200/200 battle and lost like 6 supply. People also don't seem to realize he could have easily won both games, if he had the colossus with his army when he deflected the drop he would have lost literally nothing (and could have still done a lot of damage if he pushed out after), and if he had finished off the hatchery in the second game he would have won.

lol, did they use a rule forbidding Protoss mirrors or ? The probability of having no mirrors with 8 protoss was kinda small !

Hardest matchu to predict imo will be sen vs sase. That's gonna be awesome

Sad that one side of the bracket has arguably the top four players in it.

This is so dumb, why did they make the groups 1 and 2 meet each other again in Ro8 if they both win. They should be put on different sides of the bracket....T_T

is there a way to get free vods or replays for these games because I have to go to a father's day party during MC v IdrA

I'm pretty sure Hasu has the best chance out of anyone in the Ro16 to take out Bomber

so if you don't want to see Bomber win, root for Hasu

That's really lame. Guess they didn't want top4 to be Koreans like in every other Tournament.

I don't think I agree with American Zerg. They have idra, slush, sheth and that's it.
