Minigun will make it into the champion's bracket but no further.
EG.Axlav will be really impressive and will be seeded well for Columbus.
Ret and TLO will under-perform and Tyler will have to carry the liquid torch to the top 4 or finals after Huk makes it through the open but doesn't get too deep after that.
Painuser will lose to Protoss most likely Tyler.
Kiwikaki will show he's more solid then people give him credit for.
Drewbie will continue to place well but won't win.

Edit: According to JoshSuth minigun isn't going to be there. This is disappointing to me

If either one of these things happens my head will explode with overwhelming awesomeness. Sheth has to know that it'll be impossible to remain inconspicuous now if he shows (he should maybe just wear a ridiculous costume or disguise). Everyone will be looking for him :-) Also, I hope this Cruncher/Idra rivalry maintains itself for awhile and that Idra at least makes it competitive. It's been great commentary fodder so far.

Tyler's been looking extremely strong lately and I know he's gonna have some crazy new builds for Dallas. Obviously don't count any of the top players out but I def wouldn't be surprised if he takes it. Gonna be great to go see the pros play again in Dallas

I predict there being a lot of discussions about the format after the event when everyone realizes how bad it really is.

CrunCher is going to win.

Kiwikaki, Ret, Naniwa, and Socke are the others in top 5.

HuK isn't very good so I predict an early exit.

Tyler will be top 8.

Predictions:
1. Idra gets 2nd/3rd in group then gets eliminated by a ROOT player.
2. Only pool players in Top8, maybe even Top12/16. (players from open loosers bracket need 6-7 straight wins to get there)
3. People will realise how bad the format is and it gets changed after the event.
4. Socke takes the whole thing.

1.Tyler
2. Naniwa (if Ret isn't sick or having confidence issues he'll take second)
3. Huk
4. Kiwikaki
5. Select

IdrA won't make it out of his group, unless:

Protosses are going to destroy everyone. Ret's probably gonna be sick or have confidence issues and fail like every other time.

The only people not complaining will be the ones that make it to top 16 for the next one.
