Another big surprise could be Ganzi on his side of the bracket... he has a very easy bracket right through the semis IMHO. I'm seeing him in the semis against DRG and perhaps with all the Slayers coaching he can spring a surprise.
Sort of, he got destroyed in the macro games he decided to play v Protoss and won pretty much all of his vP with the 111. Banbans is pretty terrrible but Sase and Naniwa could do very very well against him especially once the 111 gets figured out. SaSe already has the 111 figured out... think back to dreamhack when he murdered Kas' attempt at marine banshee tank.
Kas isn't a korean terran.

NaNiwa vs SaSe meeting in Ro16 would suck...I think SaSe's PvP is a decent whack better.
ThorZaIN won't be able to take out MKP or Hack in the Ro16, Fenix will have a hell of a time getting past Tassadar.
A rough trip for our foreign heroes.

If Fenix is playing 100% I like him over Tassadar
|
If Naniwa and SaSe both win their matches though, that means we have a foreigner guaranteed a shot at Code S, which is always great. Think of it that way

CHINRO HWAITING everything else is ... of lesser importance, even if its good. Go Jinro. You can do it, you've always had it in you. Slumps are temporary, and necessary for contrast, you know how good you are, and we do so as well.
and of lesser importance in said matter GOGO DRG

I'd pick thor over MKP seeing how badly he's slumping

Tassadar's PvT always seemed a little cheesy to me and he got smashed in the up/downs versust a bunch of Terrans so he could be vulnerable.
But then again he's awesome on the ladder and took out Ryung pretty convincingly (and cheesily)

lol? He smashed nobelesse in a macro game. His PvT is rock rock solid (watch iCCup) and he can cheese you out too,.
He got smashed by the 111 allin, which is smashing every korean protoss at the moment (even MC).

I dont know who has worse luck, Boxer or Leenock. One of them is not going to be in code a next season

I've been trying to get people to see this for a while lol. Gom is doing everything it can to accommodate the foreigners but people are still hating :/. They already have it easier than the rest of the Koreans trying to get up from B. They have another day to get their matches in. They might be forced to have some foreigner kills but at the end of the day, if it gets that far, it means that it's far likelier a foreigner will get a shot at Code S than if they had to play Koreans every step of the way.

I think most of the foriengers should be fairly happy with their first rounds. I can definately see 3 or 4 of them making the Ro16.
Goodbye Inca. I can't see anyway that DRG can lose.
Leenock vs Boxer is rough. Boxer's TvZ has looked sick recently but that just gives more data for Leenock to study. I think Leenock will take it but I really want Boxer to.

I don't get why everyone is so excited about him--look at his mediocre TLPD. Nothing to his name except one all-kill. It isn't that he's not good, but he's talked about like he's something amazing.

He plays intelligently but his unit control is honestly very poor. (And I say this as a fan of him.) I think if he improves his control, he could be very, very scary. Until then, though, you can probably say that he's overrated and slightly overhyped.

That and there are very few Protoss pros lately.
Korean Protoss seem to be having a hard time vs Zerg these days. The two best Protoss outside MC (Puzzle, Sage), get destroyed by Zerg in the ICCUP weeklys

It is a bit of an appeal to authority but MC in an interview after Sages all kill commented that he didn't think there were many good protoss players, but after seeing him perform in the GSTL he felt Sage was a top protoss.
