Stephano is really improving lately, stand out in the EU ladder right now, I think EU Zergs is really good, much better than NA, people such as Stephano, Nerchio, Dimaga and even Darkforce show a lot of promise and clever play.
On the other hand, I hope that Puzzle will make it through the top bracket, he is my favorite and protoss hope btw. If Puzzle lose to Stephano, then Stephano will probably make it, I dont see him losing to Kiwi after taking down Puzzle.At the other bracket, It is highly probable that MMA will make it.
These qualifers are so stacked, we all saw great players in the Ro64 or ro32. I used to think that invited players are good enough, but I highly doubt that now, and I get that they must feel lucky that they do not have to qualify.
I do not see players like Idra, Select, Ret will make it through the qualifer, maybe Huk, Thorzain, will have a shot at it
