This group is so hard to predict :/.
My liquidbets are gonna be ruined for sure.
I voted for INnoVation but I feel like he can only disappoint this season.

Serral is probably the best ZvT player in the world right now tho, so maybe INno has a shot in spite of his result at GSL vs The World

Trying to pick who gets out of this one underscores what a true group of death it is. I think (T)

GuMiho and (Z)

Rogue will make it out, but I might want Rogue and Dark.

I really love watching GuMiho play. Super looking forward to this. Looking over the group though, I didn't really realize it was this stacked. Good grief!

It's impossible for me to predict who's going to get out of this group haha.

Dark and Gumiho should be the favourites. Unless Rogue tryhards again and gets back in good form.

i'm thinkin gumiho and dark. You can't count gumi out and i think he has a better chance against these 2 zergs than inno.

Gumiho > Dark
Rogue > Innovation

Gumiho > Rogue
Dark > Innovation

Dark > Rogue

Gumiho and Dark advance.

Gumiho has been playing insanely well lately, and I'm not sure I see him losing to Innovation. However, I do think he's weaker (ever so slightly) to the zergs than Inno. This group is basically impossible to predict with any confidence. All the players have shown fluctuating form recently.

Here's my guess at predictions:

Dark 2-0 Gumiho
Innovation 2-1 Rogue
Dark 2-0 Innovation
Rogue 2-1 Gumiho
Rogue 2-1 Innovation

Here's my heart's predictions (which in this group are totally possible, since anyone can make it out):

Dark 2-0 Gumi
Rogue 2-1 Inno
Dark 2-1 Rogue
Gumiho 2-0 Inno
Gumiho 2-1 Rogue !!!

I want Gumi to make it more than anyone else <3

I do think Dark is just a bit better than the rest of the players.

gumiho will stomp inno, as he has been doing on stream consistently over the past few weeks. bit worried about his tvz... but you never know what he has up his sleeve

when gumi competes in an online tourna, he uses the opportunity to hammer out a specific build over and over, without the mystery of barcodes. for example, he played fastest possible banshee every game vs soo in olimoleague (delayed reactor, techlab pre-built, starport started on pre-built techlab). in the next cup, he tried 3cc ultra greedy, delayed hellbat / upgraded marine push every game. I think he does this in online cups to help inform his build choices when it matters in gsl. that's why they call him "the build master"

Crazy even group. Could be the semifinals of the GSL and also any combination of players could easily advance.
