Boxer is probably among the easiest players one could face in the Ro16, unless he's stepped up his play since the last time we saw him. I would rate him a mere good, and we all know how cutthroat Code A has become. Honestly, I wouldn't be shocked to see Jinro and Boxer fall in the Ro32, although I really hope it doesn't come to that.

Jinro has been showing rather disappointing results lately, and the competition he faced at Dreamhack was surely weaker than the players lOveShinyStar beat to get into Code A. BoxeR is good, like I said, but people seem pretty scared of NuclearfOu (now asdfOu). Jinro and Boxer were lucky to not get matched with players like Hero or GuMiho, but they could definitely be in trouble.

Well that would be his second match. His first one is against some guy I've never heard of. And while Boxer is good, he's not as good as he used to be.

uh.. same can be said for Jinro. ShinyStar beat theSTC to get into code A. not an easy bracket at all for Jinro.

I think Sheth can down san. Anyways, Code A is brutal.

Guys, you really should watch out for puzzle, even though he has probably the hardest match in code A... He is an amazing player.

Shinystar is teamless apparently, but he wasn't the quickest to qualify for code A, so I am thinking he isn't cheesey. But some managers did say he wasn't that good. I really hope Jinro can stay in code A at least. And of course, sheth gets his favourite match up first round

My impressions from ladder and team tournaments is that Puzzle is a pretty good protoss, who may make it tough on MMA, especially given MMA's history of TvP. Wouldn't really have been surprised to see this matchup in Ro8+ as opposed to 1st round.

Ouch that's brutal for the SlayerS guys. Puzzle is quite good, and so is Gumiho. I'm curious as to how good ShinyStar is. Jinro has shown pretty weak games vs. protoss lately. It really sucks that either San or Sheth will be out of Code A. Two other players look really intriguing; asd aka NuclearfOu and then IMHappy. Happy has been said to be really good!

This really shows how unjustified the Code A prize pool/GSL prize distribution is. What a nightmare bracket for $1,000 & a shot at Code S over a month - and DRG, TheSTC as well as a bunch of other potential stars didn't even make it. Korea is a scary place O_o

Not sure if he'll go by that name or NuclearfOu. Considering they have Rainbow down as Hopetorture still, it's a possibility that the IDs are subject to change.
