Group predictions:
A: Taeja/DRG (VERY hard choice)
B: Genius/Seed
C: aLive/MarineKing
D: Gumiho/Maru
E: MC/Nestea
F: MMA/Leenock
G: Puzzle/Naniwa (calling the upset here. MVP never had good TvP and ryung is one of the best TvT in world)
H: Parting/Fin (hard choice)

I really do think Naniwa is a mercenary. He doesnt play well with others, and he cares about winning because winning = getting paid. Being in Korea allows him to get better, and play against a higher level of competition on a more regular basis. 2 months in korea is > 2 months in EU as far as assisting your skill level.

If he cared about the game, being an professional or having a passion for the game he wouldn't probe rush on a TV match. It was a moronic thing to do and I didn't pay to see that shit. I don't care how butthurt your f'n ego is.

honestly this whole mercenary argument is just retarded. if naniwa really only cared about the money, HE WOULDEN'T BE A FUCKING PROGAMER. did it ever cross your mind that if he is dedicating his career to one of the worst paying jobs out there, it might be because he loves playing starcraft?

Group A is definitely DRGs group to lose. All ZvT and he's known as the Terran Killer? Please. That group is a battle for second. B will probably be Genius and SuperNova, Seed and BboongBboong are untested in solo leagues for the most part. Group C is interesting to me, even though July is tier 4 or w/e he is fully capable of roach/bane busting his way into the top of the group. If last season is anything to go by, aLive will stomp face and another battle for second. I really want Hero to take Group D but Gumiho is pretty awesome these days and don't remember how Curious looks these days.

E is MC/NesTea. EZ. Group F I think Leenock will most likely get out, and Squirtle could actually sneak by if MMA's worst matchup is not up to par in their head to head, could lead to some weird tie break scenarios. Sorry Nani, your record in GSL is indicative of what you will do in the future. Group G is taken by Puzzle and an (apparently) injured MVP. Finally we have Group H which is a sick nerd baller group. Honestly any combination of 2 from those 4 players could get through, but I think Parting will get through and possibly Polt riding off of his second place in the LoneStar tournament OR Twilight/Oz instead.

Nani might have a hard time actually, Ryung has some of the best TvP late game in the world, so if he can take it that far I'd fear for Nani. Puzzle has good PvP (but then again so does Nani) but I guess MVP has always been bad at TvP so who knows!?

MMA isn't in a terrible position, as he should win against Leenock and Nada, and could match closely against Squirtle.

Nada and Ryung have it a bit tougher though...

Hoping MC can make it. a PvP vs InCa and PvZ vs Nestea could be tough though for any Protoss.

Predictions:

A: DRG, Jjakji
B: Genuis, Seed
C: aLive, MaringKing
D: Gumiho, Maru (really tough group, but I'm going to say Maru takes second)
E: MC, Nestea
F: MMA, Leenock (another tough group, I'll go with Leenock though)
G: MVP, Puzzle (nearly impossible to pick, I'm going with MVP to get back to some form and Puzzle to play exceptionally well, but realistically I could see any combination of players coming out of this group and wouldn't be surprised)
H: Polt, Parting (group of death IMO. I'm confident in Polt, but its a coin flip between Parting/Oz imo. I'm going to say Parting to take second).

Don't worry, MC can just go 1 Gate Robo vs InCa.

InCa actually very rarely goes DTs in PvP, he just happened to vs Puzzle when Puzzle was doing a vulnerable build.

Joke still fully appreciated, though.
