I can see him losing to everyone in his group haha. Nah but what I'm saying is that in this group stage you are lucky if you get a lopsided group. A group like huk has, where Violot is the only REAL threat is much better than let say an "even steven" group like #10. Or just any group that has two koreans for that matter

Can see NaNiwa crashing out here. And yeh, HuK could easily drop out as well.

He's a class above the rest of the foreigners. If he stays calm he should crush the rest and probably should take squirtle.

edit: wait they're at 4:30?

Groups 2 and 12 are really tough ones where I could see anyone advancing.
Poor MorroW with Life and TheSTC in his group (Thorzain also with 2 Koreans) while other groups have 2 nonames in it or consist of rather mediocre players only (like Cytoplasm, PoYo, sLivko, PiG)

He's lost to so many foreign zergs in the past, players you'd generally think he should beat. he seems to almost do better vs Korean zergs, then there's Squirtle and a decent PvP player in NightEnd, although admittedly I haven't seen much of him lately. He could obviously advance, he's clearly capable, but I think it's one of the worst possible groups for him.

Naniwa when playing at his best is perhaps one of the if not the best Protoss in the world... but Naniwa on tilt however is not a very pleasant viewing experience for all parties involved, I feel like if he'd just work on his mental game he'd play a ton more consistent
