LucifroN is going to shock people. Expect a great performance in him. Also putting your stock in mOOnGLaDe would be intelligent. If he can make it out of his ridiculously hard group you'll know he's in good enough shape to make a significant run into the bracket portion. | ||

IMO Rain has shown a bit of weakness in PvZ recently. I think a sufficiently skilled Zerg such as Curious, RorO or even Stephano has a decent shot at taking him out. | ||

Koreans are in play here and they will most definitely win this. I hope Creator or Parting takes it down. Even though my fav player is Grubby ... i know it's too much of a longshot for him to get 1st. | ||

I hope Creator or Parting takes it down. Even though my fav player is Grubby ... i know it's too much of a longshot for him to get 1st. Of course Stephano can win this, just like any of the Korean players can win this and like several other non-Koreans have a shot. I wouldn't give any single Korean player a much bigger chance of winning the event than Stephano. Why would you? The one time he met Curious, Stephano won. The one time he met Parting, Stephano won. He has beaten Hero plenty of times. When MC was considered the best PvZ-player, he beat MC. When Squirtle was considered the best PvZ-player, he beat Squirtle. Stephano has a tough group, which diminishes his chances of advancing from the group, and thus his possibility of winning the tournament, but I don't see him as much of an underdog against any single player. Because of their number and quality, the most likely winner is a Korean player. But what is sure is that whoever wins at the end of the tournament does so not simply because he was the best player, but also because he got lucky along the way. In order to win WCS you need skill AND luck. | ||

I'd say Grubby and Major are good contenders, too bad Naniwa isn't attending. Well Stephano isn't white  So....LucifroN!! The Terran Hope AND among the strongest whitedudes  He should win that group. One of Scarlett/Nerchio (assuming Creator tops that group) could also make a run, they both could possibly get out also although creator is probably favoured even with pvz pretty hard for the protoss.. VortiX should do pretty well I think, whenever he plays Koreans he does well from memory. I actually expect Stephano to bomb out. Great player, but not playing so well recently, still very good but that's a really tough draw. He will struggle to get out of that group, and if he manages to get through, he then could end up against Rain. But you can never count him out. | ||

He said in his interview he fears zerg most, and to be honest both terran and protoss players does fear zerg at this current time. But I know he has something up his sleeve that will give those pesky zerg's a fight to say the least!  | ||

Today during the GSL he said that he had arranged his visa, so he would be travelling to Shanghai. He didn't specify whether he would be casting or just attending. | ||
