This is going to be amazing, can't wait!
Futile predictions:
MKP > Ret > Puma > Boxer > ToD
MVP > MC > ThorZaIN > Symbol > Idra (sorry grackmeister, I hope you surprise me!)
MMA > Jjaki > Stephano > Mana > Life
Leenock >Alive > NesTea > HasuObs > Nerchio

...Although anything beyond top 2 should be taken with a sack of salt to go with the bag o' salt for the top 2, and really Puma should perhaps be over Ret, but I want to believe, damn it! No one would be happier than I if the foreigners bossed, but I do kind of doubt it. It's going to be fun to watch, anyway
woot!

I saw ToD play today in Mille Cup, I don't like saying that but he's gonna get destroyed. I see:

MKP > Puma > Ret > Boxer > ToD
MVP > MC > Symbol > ThorZaIN > IdrA
MMA > Stephano > Jjaki > Life > Mana
Alive > NesTea > Leenock > Nerchio > HasuObs

I admit that for group 2 my prediction is a bit streched, but I'd really like a foreigner to advance here.

What's funny though is that the stream being at 9pm CET, koreans will be playing each other starting at 5 AM XD
What's your guess? will they wake up early, or go to bed super duper late?

I think the online group stage will not be live but casted from replays, so they will probably schedule a time which is good for everyone

Correct.

The only thing which make me a bit sad about this tournament is that imo it's not promoted enough and a lot of people might miss it.

It's like almost the most stacked foreign tournament ever, it should be promoted more heavily :/
Don't know if TL is reluctant to promote it or what's the reason but I fear that a lot of people might discover Iron Squid way after its start.

All match are played on NA server, so the lag will be pretty even.

Still it is hardly possible to predict the outcome of Jjakji vs. Stephano. Jjakji is a GSL Champion but did not do that well in Team Leagues afaik and Stephano is Stephano. I would give a little edge to Jjakji for being korean but still I would say 55% : 45% at the most.

I think it's the most stacked tournament i've ever seen ^^ It's virtually impossible to predict anything, beside that we will see a big-ol foreigner slaughter ^^

I reckon HasuObs is going to do significantly better than people expect. I could definitely see him beating 1 or 2 Koreans.

To me, this tournament is Korea VS The World.
This is the chance for foreigners to shine, to show they are equal of Korea.
This tournament will seal the eternal debate"Korea=World?", if none of the foreigners make it to the final bracket, it's definitly a proof that Korea is well ahead.
On the contrary if they manage to win or rank well, i think nobody should say Kora is superior to foreigners anymore.
That's the whole deal of the tournament if you ask me.

That's asking a lot of a single tournament. As we saw last year, Korean domination can be overwhelming, or non-existant just a few weeks apart

12 Koreans vs 8 foreigners, to begin with. Yeah, sounds like the perfect setup for a fair Korea vs The World battle, alright.

Ain't gonna happen. If Koreans win everything, it's nothing special. If foreigners win a few games, it's lag or bad playing times or something else.

It won't seal any debate.
