One thing I hadn't thought of until now:

We might not see a Code S slot go out this tournament.

Of the Players in attendance, Bomber, MKP, Polt, Alive, Huk, HongUn and July are already Code S. Alive & MKP should make it into Pool Play. For Koreans not in Code S, there's: MC, Hero, Boxer, Puma, Inori and theSTC that are contenders.

Bomber is going to take Pool B unless MKP does. Huk & July are in the dominant positions in Pool D. If HongUn or Alive (solid chance he ends up there) come out of Pool C, then the odds of a Code S slot going out gets really, really small.

Main thing is that MC & Hero are two of the best Koreans not in Code S at this tournament, and they're both in the same Pool. Then Puma is in the same pool as Bomber. It's more they're all running into each other early, so they end up blocking each other.

Though, from a fan's point of view, what we really want is Jinro, MKP, Stephano and Alive to all make it to Pool play. That puts Jinro in Pool A, MKP in Pool B, Alive in Pool C and Stephano in Pool D. So we get Idra vs Jinro, MKP vs Bomber, Alive vs Ret (round 2!) and Stephano vs Huk, MC, July and Hero. My head my explode with that possibility. (Only way Stephano isn't in Pool D is if Inori qualifies or goswser takes out MKP as well)
