ZerO has looked very impressive so far against Protoss, but I haven't seen him against Terran yet in SPL. Nevertheless, his ZvP games have shown exceptional mechanics and play that look on-par with some GSL Zergs. Classic will have a hard time against him, and Best will have an even harder time.
I think Baby will hopefully do well, especially with Team 8 owning face in SPL and Cezanne definitely working wonders with his coaching.
I think Last definitely has a strong chance of advancing, as his SPL performance has been strong thus far.
There isn't much info for Ryul2 and Bisang in the TLPD, but a look into their OSL prelim matchups reveals some information. Ryul2 went through Shine, Shy, and hitmaN (hahahaha, hitmaN) to qualify. Shy is obviously known for his defeat of Ace in the cross-match thing. Bisang went through Bisu, Snow, and Mini to qualify. Bisu sucks at SC2, and Shine's TLPD has a few games confused with TSL.Shine. Mini hasn't been too impressive either. However, Snow is definitely a strong player, beating Flash and Nestea in the prelims for WCG and WCS, though my memory may be mistaken.
Flash's performance is kinda hard to predict. I hope Clide has been working the KT house long enough to make at least a small difference in Flash's play since his deficiencies in SC2 have already been exploited in SPL. The STX Terrans have already shown a TvT build that can directly counter Flash's build. Also, he tends to play too passive and greedy against Zergs, which has been his undoing quite a few times.

Huh, I'm not really a Brood War guy and I haven't really seen too much pro league this season, but I think I kind of have a general idea of how these guys are doing based off the other posts in this thread. It will definitely be interesting to see more of these guys as they progress further into OS2L. I'm going to go ahead and root for Classic, Baby, Flash, and Last for the sake of Terran pride but I'd definitely like to check this out later tonight. Good luck to all of the players and hopefully they can produce good games.

Would be nice if OGN could get their official twitch stream up on time instead of leaving it as an afterthought =/.
