Nothing is easy to predict in GSL.
I'll just have some guesses: A: Lucky, Monster (clearly the easiest group, Nada, Huk and Alcia are slumping, only 5 players) B: Gumiho, Bomber (Only Morrow as Z, good for Bomber, bad for Gumiho, but Ryung has to face 2 protoss) C: LosirA, Polt D: Taeja, Squirtle E: Clide, JYP (really anyone could make it here)

How is it unfair? A lot of tourneys allow it.
The ones that don't allow it do not use "unfair" as a justification, just they don't want to deal with it.
Group A - Lucky, Huk (can be Monster instead of Huk though, depends which Huk shows to the event) Group B - Bomber, Gumiho (hoping for Morrow and Tassadar, but don't think they will advance unfortunately) Group C - Polt, Losira (like the most not interesting group ever) Group D - Taeja, asd (hoping for Squirtle, he is pretty good again, can cause an upset maybe. Boxer can win some TvT, but don't think he will be able to go to Code S) Group E - July, HerO (Clide may be able to advance, hoping for JYP the most, only 1 T in his group, he may actually have a chance)

Yeah, there's nothing unfair about it. It stands to reason that someone trying to practice and perfect two races is going to be weaker than someone who practices one. This is why random players never make it far.
It's not as if him switching races has led to him dominating the foreign scene or anything, it just gives him a slight preparation edge.
I don't like how there are 2 forfeits in 2 groups which makes it unfair. They should have done an online tournament with people knocked out of Code A with top 2 getting a spot in up/down. Leaving 2 open spots is just a waste and unfair.
As much as I'd like to see more Protoss and Zerg advance from the up/down to have a more balanced code S, there are a quite a few strong Terrans in here that I think will advance.
