Remember last GSL? All Foreigners will have a hard time. Lucky vs NaNi is a hard matchup for NaNi. His PvZ is pretty bad and Lucky is a great upcoming Zerg.
(P)TesteR (P)NaNiwa (Z)Check (T)IMYoda vs (P)Sage I'm very sad about that one, I feel Sage will win but Yoda is such an innovative player and I hope to see more of him, especially TvZ.

It's 12p/12z/8t in Code A.... that's an alright spread as it'll rarely be a fully even distribution, especially compared to 20t/7z/5p in Code S. I think it's the first time Terran's had less than 12 in any Code S or Code A, while P/Z rarely have had double digits in round of 32 in Code S/Code A. I don't understand how any Terran could possibly be like "omg no terrans in code a." Should be saying "omg same amount of terrans in code a as protoss/zerg have had on average in every code a before this."
9/19 1:10pm KST (T)sC vs (Z)RevivaL Revival plays roach based ZvT from what I've seen, and sC can abuse that (P)Alicia vs (T)SeleCT Alicia just seems to not beat Terrans who don't make many mistakes. Partially his mindset, sometimes otherwise. (P)MC vs (Z)Monster It's MC. (Z)Kyrix vs (T)GuMiho
I've always thought Gumiho was a pretty good terran 9/19 6:10pm KST (Z)YuGiOh vs (P)lOvShinyStar Sorry but the eternal Code A player must stay Code A forever (Z)viOlet vs (P)Liquid`HerO Hero has pretty strong PvZ from what I've seen of his games. (Z)Sniper vs (Z)Curious (T)Maka vs (T)SjoW When maka's playing better, Sjow doesn't stand a chance I would think.
9/20 1:10pm KST (Z)FruitDealer vs (P)SaSe Fruitdealer has just looked pretty bad in recent times (P)JYP vs (Z)JookTo JYP must shine the light for the other Protoss to follow (T)Byun vs (P)Twilight Oz hasn't really impressed me THAT much, he's pretty good and all but meh. (P)Tassadar vs (Z)SUPERSTAR Startale needs to get this guy into Code S along with a huge T-shirt with the ST logo =). Then he can actually be SUPERSTAR
9/21 1:10pm KST (P)TesteR vs (T)Dream Tester sometimes looks like an idiot, and other times like a genius. I'm going to go with idiot this time around
(Z)Lucky vs (P)NaNiwa NaNiwa is going to have practiced his heart out for this. After all his goal is to win, not come in second or 3rd.
(Z)Check vs (P)Weekend Didn't get to see weekend play so idk (T)IMYoda vs (P)Sage All I really remember from Yoda is hellions. Lot's and lots of hellions.
gonna have to say the foreigners have good draws. select TvP is his best matchup, so despite alicia being our forgotten hero of months past, I think select has a good chance at this.
Sase vs FD is doable too, FD has been on the decline more and more, and Sase has had a month+ to practice in korea.
SjoW's TvT is good, even bomber said he's code S level TvT. I'm glad to see Maka back in it, but I think SjoW has a legitimate shot at proceeding past Maka
Nani vs Lucky is going to be rough. Lucky is good, like, really good, and ZvP is in a bad place for Protoss right now. Lets hope Nani's movie watching at the startale house paid off!
I'm gonna be surprised if Naniwa won't advance.. MC should have easy ride too, I also think that Select should be able to beat Alicia. Sjow and Maka will be interesting as well as Sase and Fruitdealer.
I'd say pretty good chances for all the foreigners and HerO to advance.
Can't see any of the zergs going far this season, except for Revival. Probably the only one capable of getting into Code S, the rest seem to belong in code A for now.

Foreigners Fighting! Dignitas Fighting!!!
I'd say this is a pretty good assessment. Personally, Naniwa is one of my favorite players, but you've gotta beat the best to become the best. Lucky might be tough, but he's just a stepping stone.
At this stage, with all the preparation upfront, any of these players can take the other one down. It's going to boil down to their form that day (rested, focused, ready) and how they execute.
I think that FruitDealer can take SaSe. I mean foreigner and all, FD will have a special place in my heart and every season will see me rooting for him no matter who he's against. Plus SaSe is great, but living in the ST house and being awakened by being rudely dropped into Code A might possibly wake him up.
I really hope protoss like Alicia and MC can get back into Code S. -.- I miss you Alicia
