He already beat GuMiHo, though it won't be easy to do it again. AcE is definitely someone he can beat. I agree the other two are quite super hard and I'd definitely call that an upset if he wins against them.

Wow welcome to GSL again MaNa, placed in possibly the hardest group of all time.

A: HyuN, jjakji/Bomber
B: Puzzle, Sniper/Hack
C: HerO, aLive (depends on how well we see Shine play, he isn't that bad)
D: Creator, SuperNova
E: viOLet, Oz/Life

The foreigner bias is strong with the polls....

imo E is the group of death, all 5 are S-level players (albeit low S-level i guess)

MaNa gets the chance of his life, 3 PvT and the weakest zerg in his group. Wow. Hope he can make it!

Hyun is most certainly not the weakest Zerg in these groups. TSL are known for having a very strong Zerg line up, with the big 3 being Symbol, Revival and Hyun. The weakest Zerg would be Suhosin or Yugioh.

Mana looks screwed.
I doubt he improved massively just playing ladder and all his opponents are easily code-S level.
Maybe he could count on some of them slumping but I doubt it would be enough.
On the other hand Thorzain has a half-decent chance.
Not only dose he have real practice partners in Korea but also he already defeated Gumiho in code-S.
And the level of players in his group is not as high - only Puzzle looks to be a serious obstacle.

How come there are 5 players in some groups and 6 in the others? Or are there more players to be seeded?
