What happen to sage? He lost in the qualifier 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. If you watch him play, he is without a doubt one of the smartest players right now. 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's a bit too much to call Sage one of the best two Protoss outside MC. Yes, Puzzle is good, but he earned that by winning Code A. Hongun, Alicia, and HuK have far more claim to "best protoss outside MC" than Sage.

Who I think will win
+ Show Spoiler +August 8thFirst session:(A)  FruitDealer vs  MaruKid looked real solid in the qualifiers. Fruitdealer hasn't looked good for a long time now. (A)  Banbanssu vs GanZiGanzi didn't look too hot in the qualifiers but Banbanssu needs to improve a tonne if he wants to win. (C) Yoda vs TheBest Beat TheBest, Yoda shall. (D) Luvsic vs Jjakji He's a favourite. Hopefully he doesn't choke. Second session(B) sC vs ExtremeNot enough data to work with but I'll go with sC. (B) Tails vs TaejaTaeja looking very good. (B) DongRaeGu vs InCaUnless Inca improves a lot, DRG easily. (B) anypro vs JYPCould go either way, but anypro's PvP has never really impressed me. August 9th(C) Tassadar vs FenixIf he doesn't choke or lose to 1-1-1, Tassadar easily. (D) MarineKing vs Hack Unless MKP managed to overcome his TvT weakness, Hack wins easily. (C) BoxeR vs LeenockBoxer looking very solid, although his macro and multitasking could use some work. Leenock's macro and multitasking aren't so strong that he would be able to outplay Boxer. Also kid has a tendency to choke really really hard. (C) Dream vs MakaAgain lack of sufficient data, this is a fan vote. August 10th(D) Jinro vs LuckyLucky qualified by 2-0 a bunch of Terrans iirc, so Jinro has his work cut out for him. (D) YuGiOh vs ThorZaINThorzain was my foreigner hope to go through but he gets his weakest matchup against YuGiOh nonetheless. T_T (A) SaSe vs Sniper Don't know either player that well so when in doubt vote for the Korean. (A) Check vs NaNiwaCheck had a decent showing against Huk last time and I don't think Naniwa is as good as Huk. Unfortunately Check also has a history of choking.

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. I'd pick thor over MKP seeing how badly he's slumping I don't know man.. he is still no.1 on kr ladder. http://sc2ranks.com/kr/1914450/동네바보형
MKP loves to mass game on ladder, so I'm not surprised. We'll see how MKP's TvT looks tonight. Hopefully, it's solid - or more solid than it was in his Up/Down matches.

if they play with jetlag, that will be dummiest thing ever. what more imortant do they have not to come a few days earlier to korea. im really shocked and displeased by their attitude!

wow so many people predicting Sase to lose.. What is wrong with you?
And what when Sase and Naniwa win their matches they will face each other? Is this some kind of a joke?

It's MKP's TvT that's in a mess. His other matchups are actually still in okay shape. But Thorzain can take him in TvT, unless he figures something out.

Also, wow, GOM must hate Inca for that 0-4 against NesTea. Against DRG in Ro32 of Code A. That's just cruel.

I wouldn't say Leenock has a tendency to choke, rather he always seems to be matched up versus the best opponents. He has incredibly bad luck.

My predictions:
First session:
(A) (Z)FruitDealer vs (T)Maru -Despite Fruitdealers less then impressive showings lately, I gotta go with the former code S player.
(A) (P)Banbanssu vs (T)GanZi - Ganzi is solid
(C) (T)Yoda vs (T)TheBest - TheBest is under-rated.
(D) (Z)Luvsic vs (T)Jjakji
Second session
(B) (T)sC vs (P)Extreme
(B) (P)Tails vs (T)Taeja
(B) (Z)DongRaeGu vs (P)InCa - I think DongRaeGu is over-rated, but InCas PvZ has historically been horrid.
(B) (P)anypro vs (P)JYP - Hard to call this one
August 9th
(C) (P)Tassadar vs (T)Fenix - This is a bit of a tossup, Fenix is probably the most under-rated foreigner, but Tassadar is decent himself.
(D) (T)MarineKing vs (T)Hack - Unless MarineKing clinics himself on modern TvT metagame, I dont see him winning, despite him being better then hack at the other matchups.
(C) (T)BoxeR vs (Z)Leenock - Impossible to call this one. Leenock is solid, but Boxer has momentum and experience behind him.
(C) (T)Dream vs (T)Maka - I have not seen much of maka in a long time, but he never really impressed me when I did see him.
August 10th
(D) (T)Jinro vs (Z)Lucky - You can never count Jinro out, his play has improved greatly lately.
(D)(Z)YuGiOh vs (T)ThorZaIN - ThorZian has accomplished little to nothing after the TSL. The slower pace of GSL should help him, but he is moving to Korea too late to properly prepare.
(A)(P)SaSe vs (Z)Sniper - Sase is very under-rated, and Sniper did not impress me much in the qualifiers.
(A)(Z)Check vs (P)NaNiwa - Naniwa is in for an ugly suprise this GSL I think. He should have moved to Korea months ago to prepare.

Koreans almost always beat non Koreans, Sase is really bad at PvZ. Gom already let foreigners skip Code B which most if not all of them would have failed in I'm sorry they didn't also fix the tournament.

I like Fenix vs Tassadar just because of the names.. haha
|
I will say most of the foreigners have pretty easy first rounds, Fenix probably has the hardest. Also I am extremely scared for MKP, please please please stop slumping FoxeR!!!
