There is no coming back. Most fan favourite foreigners are just too old and not good enough to endure the same training that the countless players from esf/kespa do.
When the korean players also prepare for a few specific people on known maps, i cant just see any foreigner winning. Maybe Stephano (under 20 years, and quite talented) has a slight chance to make an impact in GSL/SPL, but i really doubt that EG can provide the necessary training enviroment.

Statistically speaking that's not too unlikely.
HerO and Genius need to go through tomorrow. Then finale and someone else in group E, maybe nestea?

Hmpf. None of you have considered this could be a strategic play by Grubby. He probably likes his chances to win Code A better than winning Code S. Being a true champion, he cares more about titles than qfinal finishes. Clearly, Grubby picked to play Code A instead. Considering Grubby has more experience as a progamer than 95% of the players in Code A, I give Grubby a 95% chance of winning Code A after todays showings.
I believe. Your fanboyism is very solid Martin.  True Dutch Let it be known I play favorites. Logic and plausibility be damned. Until a day comes where they deport him from South Korea and ban him from ever coming back, Grubby is winning GSL.
Agreed, better to enjoy the effort and be positive.
Let all the negative nancies ride the bitter bus.
I enjoyed seeing Grubby in a GSL booth. He had a pretty bad and ruff day. But, Grubby will get back on that horse, work hard and fight back, that is why I appreciate him.

I expect two or three to get through. Parting and Creator are just too good to care about being underpowered =)

even stephano will have a hard time in gsl! i think i remeber him telling in an interview that he likes tournaments like MLG, IPL etc. more coz people cant prepare that much than. but in code s he will meet alot of top tier players that are prepared for his playstyle...

Unlike this group that was by far the worst for a protoss with 3Z in it, the 2 remaining groups are easier, with only 1Z per group, and these zergs, Nestea and ByuL certainly not being as good as DRG or Symbol.
Also there are 3 toss in each of the 2 remaining groups, so we can hope for at least 1P advancing to code S, and maybe 1 in the wild card group (where any P would die anyway, considering the amount of Z already).

Yeah, it should be very hard for him to win games. I am really looking forward to see him play in GSL/SPL. (not a fanboy, just curiosity)

Sigh, why do people keep bringing up overall winrates every time. Even worse, PL winrates.

It might go that way when you consider the Rain factor. Aka the best player in Proleague. HerO is pretty good too.

Everytime i turn around another zerg is added into the wild card... uhh JD Code s I think.

Saying something like this feels like it just ignores Grubby's Esports pedigree. If there's any foreigner who can endure the rigorous training required and succeed at the highest level of the game in Korea, I think perhaps maybe one of the best if not the best War3 player can do it. He DEFINITELY has the talent, if he applies it.
