My predictions for these qualifiers:

Group A: MMA
Group B: Symbol
Group C: MKP
Group D: Genius
Group E: Leenock
Group F: HerO
Group G: Maru
Group H: GuMiho
Group I: SuperNoVa
Group J: Keen
Group K: Puzzle
Group L: TaeJa

Needless to say, I'll watch the shit out of any league that features these players.

It's a bit sad, but every favorite in one of those groups would probably be favored in an all-kill format against the entire Kespa roster by himself. Winning 100 games in a row might be daunting, but I'm sure Symbol could do it. (sorry Flash and Jaedong)

Any word on whether pool play will be broadcasted? Also, does anyone know if there will be English streams when the main event begins?

Never predict a KR qualifier without upsets.

Yeah, no foreigner is going to make it out of a 32 man bracket stacked with code S and code A players if they can't make it out of a bracket of code B players. The only one with even a remote chance is Naniwa.

I have to say though, they did a great job seeding this. The groups aren't perfectly balanced against each other, but I don't think any two big names play until the semifinals.

Hyun and Anyppi (IMFirst) probably going to make the finals of their groups, imo. They've been doing well in setting like these in sc2--team liquid qualifiers and code A qualifiers.

This reminds me a lot of the Korean qualifiers of WCG last year and A LOT of the big names back then didn't make it through. So I am expecting a lot of upsets. Will be fun to see which favorites are able to make it out. As for the seeds , I understand people would like to see 'recent' performances rewarded, but there are so many tournaments with different players pools that it is really hard to judge. So I think OGN just went with GSL results. MVP, Nestea, MC, DRG all made Ro16 in this current GSL so I have no problems that they were seeded.

I'm not even going to try and predict this tournament. It's like trying to predict the Code A qualifiers. There are so many no names that a few of them are bound to make it in. I can't wait for the start of the OSL though =)

I could be wrong, but I'm guessing that there are 12 qualified players from these, plus the 4 seeds, added onto 16 players from the current BW pool to make up this first sc2 OSL?

This seems to be harder than Code A qualifiers. If some foreigners are able to get in, it'd be a huge accomplishment.

This is the most prestigious tournament in the world. Winning this is winning the world cup.
