being a beast in ZvZ as well as ZvT of course, I cant see him losing any game in his group.
2nd will be decided between MKP and LosirA, but LosirA (just as NesTea) looks to be way out of his prime recently, and i do believe crowd favorite MKP aka FakeBoxer will get through. Leenock got mauled by Jjakji so not sure what you're getting at, I can see MKP losing to TOP since his TvT is meh. Tough group to call honestly,
"Mauled" is a bit of an exaggeration, don't you think? Don't forget that he also took out MVP on his way to the finals. Jjakji played very well in the finals, but he didn't exactly "maul" Leenock, nor does the fact that Leenock lost to Jjakji make Leenock's win over MVP any less impressive.

Leenock's ZvT has looked very beatable lately, so I wouldn't count MKP out of first place yet. I believe historically MKP has Leenock's number, right?

I feel like that's all that's needed to be said.

Couple of months ago, this would've been an easy group for Losira T_T. hopefully he bounces back.

winner should have a showmatch with yellow

This is where TOP will make his comeback.

Losing 2-4 is still a respectable score...

Terrans have less body fat

Tough group for MKP. I think he'll need to beat Losira twice to make it in.

Kong -
There was a legendary BW player by the name of Hong Jin Ho. But one thing that stood him out from the other BW pros was his abysmal mutalisk micro. So the Koreans called him Kongtalisk. (as in he really stinks with mutas)
Hong Jin Ho was known for ALWAYS coming in 2nd place at major events.
See here: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/YellOw
Because of this, anyone who came in 2nd as frequently as YellOw was basically given the nickname "Kong."
So this tournament took all GSL finalists who came in 2nd and put them up against each other to find the "true Kong"

This group is unbelievably stacked, on top form, all 4 players are high end Code S, and loads of ZvTs, so the games should be amazing. I'm most interested to see how good TOP is playing, I was a big fan of his, he used to be great, and then he just fell off the planet. I'm putting my money on MKP as well. He has looked nigh on unstoppable as of late on ladder, it seems like he's really stepping up his practice even more then he used to already. It's looking grim for losira and Top, but leenock i think has a pretty good shot at making it out as well.
One day I think MKP is going to go super sayian and go on a 4-5 second place GSL streak and just astound us all.
