Predictions for all four groups:

Group One
Favorites Maru, Stats, TY
Chance of Upsets Not likely. Ryung.

Seems pretty clear cut, I would be shocked if any of them lose in a bo3 twice. Any upset potential is likely to come from Ryung, who has historically strong TvT and every now and then pulls out A-level games.

Group Two
Favorites Serral, Scarlett, Solar
Chance of Upsets Not likely. Leenock?

Serral, Scarlett, Solar. And if there's any upset it'll probably be from Leenock, so this just seems like a very zerg strong group.


Group Three
Favorites Special, Zest, Snute
Chance of Upsets Very likely

A ton of very strong foreigners and B level Koreans, as well as "favorites" who can be prone to choking and playing below their peak level?
With a good day, any of HeroMarine, Billowy, Kelazhur, Namshar, Lambo, and Bunny could make it out.

This will be a fun group.

Group Four
Favorites Neeb, soO, Trap
Chance of Upsets Very possible

While I would say Neeb and soO always make it out, the last place is going to be a brutal battle between Cure, TLO, Trap, Patience, Losira, Harstem, and SortOf. I would favor Losira and Trap. I also always loved Cure back in the day, but I don't think he's doing good nowadays?

He would have to lose vs stats to get a chance to even play TvT vs i assume Ryung though. But yeah i think that would be how he loses his chance at group stage, by losing to Stats and then to Ryung in a TvT

That's assuming TY has learnt how to play Sc2 again after his bad GSL performance and can beat Ryung as well xD

Wow it's starting today!? I had no idea. This will either make my essay writing much easier or way harder...
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

OMG the level of the qualifying brackets is insane ! Really hard to predict 3 out of each.
Bracket 1 : Stats for sure, then Maru TY DNS or Bly could make it. it''s only BO3, anything could happen. Hell even Stephano could managed with a bit of bracket luck
Bracket 2 : Serral and Scarlett are easy foreigners choice, but Leenock, Solarand Creator will definitely try to get there spots. Mana True and even Guru could upset some games and stop them
Bracket 3 : Zest Special and Kelazhur would be my choice but Snute and Bunny are tough opponent and NoRegret showed he too can upset manage to play top level games
Bracket 4 : soO Neeb Trap. But Losira, Patience are here and Harstem and TLO can still take them out.

B3 seems to be the "easiest" but definitely not the least stacked.

Awesome brackets !
Those who refuse to become better, already stop being good

^Leenock 4-0ed Solar in the GSL. He has a very good chance of going through
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment
