Check has a shot as a darkhorse but there's no way Kyrix will stay in . He would've gone down last season if it weren't for Inca beeing bad at anything but PvP .

LosirA and jjakji without much effort.

LosirA's on a total roll, he knows how to get to 70 drones / 3 base against everything. jjakji has his match against MC in 10th spot -> it probably won't be played. He can focus on crushing the Zergs and combined with his already genius TvZ I don't see him dropping a set to anyone other than LosirA, but Terminus is pretty good for TvZ, so maybe not even there.

MC just heavily crumbles under pressure, the maps aren't very Protoss friendly. He's gonna go to Code A and do some soulsearching.

I actually think that Jiakji will beat LosirA purely based off their win ratio for the matchup, and that winner of MC vs LosirA will make code S with Jiakji.

Just a question, because I did not watch the games, but LosirA lost to Genius in RO32, I believe? Was it a good game that showed Genius outplaying him? I mean, if LosirA couldn't even beat Genius, I think he should not be that heavily favored against MC.

Also, even if MC drops to code A, it's his fault for picking Mvp, and sC went to code A because he picked Mvp, too. However, people should stop hating him because of his seemingly over-cockyness (because really he's not cocky in a bad way).
Seriously, who shows more personality than MC in GSL? Look at NesTea. I don't remember someone like him showing any care for the community.

Cracks under pressure? I understand he is not playing to his full potential ATM, but MC doesnt crack under pressure. The comebacks in TSL3 and NASL finals come to mind.

...What? Since when? Just cause he loses in teamleague doesn't mean hes choking under pressure. Also yeah MC is probably gonna go to code a because vs these players on these heavily terran/zerg favored maps, no protoss could make it out of this group.

If Check or Kyrix get Code S it'll be almost as bad as Polt winning the Super Tournament.

Now I hope Check makes it just to spite you.

Anyways, I predict Losira and then either Jjakji or MC will make it through. MC's current results haven't been inspiring, and I wouldn't be shocked to see him in Code A like MVP was when he was slumping months back.

I hope Losira and MC stay in Code S! Sad, though, because I really like Check. I don't really care for Kyrix or Jjakji all that much. However, my predictions to make it out will probably Losira/MC and Jjakji.

I wonder... IF MC dropped to Code A, would he win it as easily as MVP did?

Hmmm... I somehow doubt it. Really hope he wins tonight and gets right back into Code S!

I'm Happy this group is actually heavily zerg stacked because MC's PvZ is by far his best match up. With the recent trend of how PvT is going, the 1/1/1 metagame and shinanigans wouldn't bold well for MC. This is probably as good of a group as he can get, no other protoss, 3 zergs, and only 1 terran to worry about. It'll be a loss of entertainment value, AS WELL AS player value if MC goes down right before 1.4 hits, protoss is in a weakened state, I just want MC to survive it until it passes over.

One potential complication with that is Losira being a ZvP beast. This group may go all the way down to MC vs. Jjakji.

Gogo Losira, rough first 2 matches but he can do it.
