I've got Leenock and Parting.

Don't think LORD Mvp is in good enough condition lately, and I'd be surprised if he wants this enough to push himself. Seems more likely that having guaranteed a Code S spot for the final WoL season and having achieved the NesTea award he'll try to take it a bit easy for a month or w/e to help his treatment.

another interesting fact is that HERO had the same race composition (1T, 2Z, 2P) in his group and half of themwill fight again like 2011 (MVP, Hero and DRG)

Funny thing, every player that requalified (Mvp, Leenock, HerO, DRG) is still playing for the same team. Out of the six players that have not been requalified, 4 have changed teams since then (MC, Stephano, NaNiwa, MMA).

I'm still a fan of HerO, PartinG, Rain and Creator. But I'm thinking of maybe picking one of those players for my next sig, that's why I don't have any sig right now.. So much energy to support them all, haha!

Small mistake in your posting: You accidentally wrote DRG 0-4. The correct prediction is 4-0.

Since Mvp is like a clockwork when it comes to GSL, going all out, and then hibernating... Will this count as a GSL tournament for him? Since last season he was hibernating. ^_^

It's time for the king to show why he's the only terran in this tournament.

PartinG 2 2 | 4 5
DongRaeGu 3 1 | 7 3
Leenock 2 2 | 5 6

These are my predictions, sadly they didn't actually tell me who advances in what place, since DRG/Mvp are 1st/2nd, but Mvp wins head-to-head, while DRG has higher map score, same with Leenock and PartinG, except for them it's elimination.

Group A is so much better than Group B.

That said I hope Leenock wrecks this group ^^
