Zest is best going to win the group and pretty much confirm his place at Blizzcon

The one I've been waiting for. It's a long shot, especially with Artosis heaving his dark magic towards him, but I think Leenock crushes his way to the 4th GSL ro8 of his career.

(P)

Zest 0-2

Trap 1-2

Leenock 2-1 (P)

Zest 2-1

Zest 1-2

As long as herO advances I'm happy.
Most entertaining player in sc2.

We need a second zerg, we really do. Only having to prepare zvp might just make it possible as well.

I would put MC & sOs ahead of him(and the old Parting). But he's quite high, top3 control

I think Zest bombs out here. My heart is with Trap and probably herO, but this is what I think will happen:

(P)

Zest 0-2

Leenock

Trap 2-1

herO

Trap 2-1

Leenock (but due to Leenock bumbling strong leads -- fans are a little heartbroken)
(P)

herO 2-0

Zest

Leenock 2-1 (P)

herO (in a nail-biting finish that could easily have gone either way with a couple of different decisions)

Predictions:

(P)

Zest 2 - 0 (Z)

Trap 2 - 1 (P)

Zest 2 - 0 (P)

Leenock 2 - 1 (P)

Trap 2 - 1 (Z)

Leenock

I think that Zest is still angry about GSL vs The World - he is going to make another run this season.

Trap or herO in first place, no idea who wins their first series. Leenock beats Zest two times to advance.

wouldn't be surprised if leenock took it to the decider match and then threw by making 30 mutas or something stupid like that

Voted for Trap and herO but damn herO had some rough losses lately...
I feel like Zest can qualify. Leenock is hyped and zerg seems ok / good against toss lately, but I feel old stars like Zest and herO will want the ro8 bad enough for him not to get out of this group

This group is even harder to call than group B, both herO and Zest are inconsistent and easy to choke, Leenock has a very good chance to come out considering he only has to prepare for PVZ and the matchup isn't hard these days.
