Group B looks like the group of death to me, group C is going to be pretty interesting who will get second since I think MVP will do well against so many zergs and I think all of the zergs are pretty close to each other in terms of skill.

Sen is going the get destroyed.

If Nestea plays like he has been for the past month or so (poorly, that is), Idra might have a chance of making it out. If he returns to form, we'll see both foreigners making quick exits. I predict Lucky and MVP to advance.

Group B is going to be my favorite to watch, can't wait to see MC and Fin.

IdrA isn't as screwed as you'd think. He can compete with MVP, and can probably beat Lucky. ZvZ can be a coinflip, but Nestea is good at cheating at coinflips apparently. (maybe not recently, but I'm pretty sure he'll be playing fine) So it'll come down to him beating MVP.

No protoss, so personally I'm fairly happy with his group. Epic matches in epic group.

If advancing out of a group comes down to beating MVP, then I'd say you're pretty screwed. Idra is obviously good enough to beat all three of them, but realistically I don't think he will be able to beat both Nestea and MVP. And Lucky should not be discredited, this is Code S after all.

We'll just have to wait and see. But it's so far away >.<

I honestly think IdrA will pull an upset and advance from the group. He has shown that he can compete vs world class korean terrans before, so MVP and him will have good close matches. Also, he has shown he can go toe to toe with NesTea at MLG, having almost defeating him in 3 games. His understanding and mechanics of the game rival that of the best players in the world, once he perfects his reactions and discussion making vs powerful korean openers, he'll be one of the best in the world.

I'm really pulling for IdrA! I hope he can make it out of that mess.

Predictions: MVP goes 3-0, Lucky goes 0-3, so the crux of the group will be who wins IdrA vs NesTea. I think IdrA showed at the blizzard cup that he's capable of beating NesTea, but I'd still have to rate him the underdog here.

gogo, sen fighting idra fighting!

hehehe Leenock should easily advance. no way that supernova can beat him and ForGG's weaknesses are leenocks strength, as for MC, he will not be able to beat leenock again.

MVP must be feeling goooooood about his group: one matchup to practice, and at least one free win - Idra - though I don't know, maybe Idra won't choke, may luck be with the both of them, but there's no way Idra is advancing over MVP and Nestea (not to say Lucky doesn't have a shot)

Group A I kinda want to root for everyone. I'd like to see jjakji do well, I'd like to see our foreign hope Sen do well, but my heart is with Slayers

Negative on MC.

Leenocks weakest matchup by far is against Protoss, in the other matchups he is nearly invincible.

If he takes out ForGG, he will certainly make it, but we will have to wait and see what this BW legend has prepared for the SC2 elite.

Wow, SEn got a really good group, I actually see SEn as the strongest player in Group A.

Shame about group C...NesTea and MVP always need to meet up...*sigh*.

wtf jjaki just won the last season beating leenock in the final, ganzi also has mad tvz and boxer is probably better than sen too, if more beatable than theothers. i give sen almost no shot at making it, hes almost as screwed as MC.

Umm what? Leenock just got stomped by MC and Supernova got 2-0ed by Titan so I doubt he'll beat MC. In fact the only threat is Fin.

People always grossly overestimate foreign players when they play in the GSL, so if either Sen or Idra make it out of their groups, I will be greatly surprised.
