TH000 could only play well in domestic tournaments. Lyn and Infi play both SC2 and WC3.

sky won the chinese qualifier right? he is in my opinion the most talented wc3 player of all time, i still remember him having a 90% winrate between 04-06 (?) and most of the games were played on 300+ ping.
remind and lucifer could also take it, it's all pretty even once the euros drop out, even though hawk is also really good and i don't know much about the others
e: apparently lucifer not even in wcg this year

Haha yeah, I thought it was Wolf too at first. Other guy is called Rambo I think.

Yeah, I suggest trying watching Stream D (World of Tanks). It has Doa too (Stream A has no one I know, at least from SC).
(Though I have both open, just Stream D with audio on.)

yonghwa went 0-2 in his first two games and is incredibly lucky to be part of a 3-way tie

Ok nevermind about World of Tanks (it hasn't started yet anyway), CS has me with nostalgia !
|
Even though WCG doesn't have the best competition in SC2, it is still very fun to see so many other games, it's a great casual party feeling while watching WCG.

edit: nvm, too early in the morning for elementary math XD

Lucifer isn't playing in WCG.
Sky has been playing sloppy for more than a year now. Even when he took 2nd last year, he wasn't playing well, just playing good enough to get past his opponents. He preps extensively for WCG though (almost exclusively the only tournament he preps nowadays), so maybe he'll prove me wrong. He definitely hasn't been the best HU for a long time though. Both TH000 and Infi (even after Infi's switch to SC2) have consistently shown better games than Sky imo. Sky just somehow turns it on for WCG-related events every year, it seems. >_>
ReMinD has been slumping recently. He's going off to military service next year as well, so this is kind of his last hurrah in terms of wider exposure. I haven't seen especially great play from him in months.
This group honestly should've been a walkover for Lyn, but he just shot himself in the foot playing greedy. He will probably win vs. Hawk, but Fly is a toss-up. If I had to pick favorites to win, I would choose Lyn and Fly, followed by Sky, followed by ReMinD. The problem is it depends on who gets through group stages, and Bo1s in War3 at this high of a level are really difficult to call.
