Jesus group A is going to come down to Boxer/Idra (probably boxer winning it).
Group B most likely bomber but possibly Puma.
Group C really could go to either ret/rain/hongun so tough to call.
Group D is just ridiculous jesus christ rofl I couldn't pick just 1 person out of there because any one of them have a really good chance at being the winner. I mean probably not socke (I haven't seen him play lately so I don't know how in shape he is atm). But wow insane group lol.
|
Group D is pretty much more difficult than any single GSL code S group so far
|
o_O this will be interesting.
What made it more interesting was that people decided not to attend and MC decided to come back (slightly less shocking since he dropped to Code A)
|
Man, I was hoping that Slayers_Ganzi and Slayers_Coca would enter. They need some pool points in order to be seeded at Providence. MMA is locked and Boxer should get some points here to make it, but Ganzi and Coca needed a boost.
|
Group D is easily the group of death.
|
I actually laughed out loud when I read through the names in Pool - D.
That's fucking brutal for everyone.

MLG gives teams a ton of exposure even if the prize pool is low. At least after this MLG, prize pools will get jacked ^^ Providence and 2012 SC2 $$$ Naniwa, SjoW and Select will be in Korea.
Yeah good point, they probably want to focus on their practice a bit. They probably want to focus on the long term and not have their players travel too much.

olol poor Socke. I like him a lot and he is great player, but that pool D... that's just madness. Ofc, when I look at it it's quite obvious that MKP will for sure end in pool D when (notice the absence of "if") he advance from open bracket.
|
Is it right for me to say that if MKP wins all his open matches, he will be placed in Group D.
|
Ahhh no SeleCT At least he is gonna be ballin it up in code a and have some serious practice time in for national championship/2012 season!
Pool D wow.. Pool B is gonna be hard but Geoff's got this! Looks like another outstanding tournament!
|
Holy crap that group D looks beastly! JulyZerg vs MC should be awesome!

not really, Naniwa and SeleCT will probably be in Korea (practicing for Blizzcon) but Sjow will attend IEM New York which takes place at the same weekend (which is fucking stupid).

D is nasty, probably the most stacked group. B is also very very close as well.
|
I do have to wonder, where's Hero? Is he coming through the Open bracket or is he not coming at all?
|
My (very very foreign biased) predictions (ignoring potential open bracket players, which can, of course, dramatically swing how this works out)
Pool A: IdrA or BoxeR depending on which BoxeR shows up Pool B: Winner of Puma v Bomber, which I'd expect to be Puma because he'll likely arrive earlier and won't have to deal with jetlag Pool C: Ret, HongUn is a total wildcard, but is very beatable, and I think Rain's not showing his best play recently (lot can change in a month though) Pool D: Anyone's game (but Socke's, poor guy)
|
Oh wow, this is sad. A & C very weak, B & D way too hard
|
OMG MLG Orlando is going to be crazy. So many good players in pool and pool D is insane. Can't wait and MKP going as well is like the icing on the cake =D
