I really dont think HuK is guaranteed dead at all. Sniper is good sure.. but is he mini drg or is jjakji... IMO the jury is still out on that one

You forget the Bomber

(3057) Bomber 0-0 HuK (2051)
   70.05% 2-0     0-2   2.66%
   22.84% 2-1     1-2   4.45%
   92.89%               7.11%

Most likely winner: Bomber (92.89%)
Median outcome: Bomber 2-0 HuK

Estimated by Aligulac. Make another.

And Sniper is a villain, he is there to stay till we start to love him.

Creator, Bomber, MKP, Byun, DRG are my (hopeful) favorites to win this season. Huk and Steph in Ro8 would be great, too.

I really hope MKP can get over the curse between them. I seriously think MKP is as talented (if not more than) as MVP.

But he got a seed.

The guy didn't say Code S seed or anything to that effect.

That said, I think HuK has a small, but good chance of beating Sniper. His PvZ style depends on unpredictability at the most random timings and bad scouting so it just might work with all these new maps. Though I don't think he has any chance of getting past either Gumiho or Bomber...

"He atleast won some games during the past 6 months" implies that he has not won games over the last six months. That rules out Up&down seeds since you'd have to have to win games to qualify.

Except people were relatively baffled at Huk getting a UnD seed specifically because he hasn't had any real results in a long time.

Nestea told me the results of the groups he set up for the most entertaining final season of Wings of Liberty. This has been set in stone since the Big Bang.

A- Creator, Life
Life is in top form as we know, Creator also in good form and just solid - standard good play. (symbol looks terribly slumpy lately from recent games - i'm not impressed and don't see him advancing. Byul I could swap out for Creator potentially so we'll see...

B- Leenock, MC

Leenock I think has a chance to win the entire thing this season. With back to back GSTL wins, MLG wins, 2nd places etc. I think he's confident and what would any Pro SC2 player want more than a GSL championship in the final season of WOL. Nothing.
MC is MC. He will muscle his way through this group in 2nd. Well that or he'll fail miserably but more than likely I think MC will come out.

C- Sniper, Bomber

If Sniper wasn't a fluke which I don't believe that is possible he will pretty convincingly beat out the Terrans in this group and secure 1st place.

Oh is there a Huk in this group, no worries. It would take a miracle for Huk to win. If he does i'll return to fandom and eat my words and root for him again like in the past.

I see the return of top form Bomber in 2nd or even possibly first. He is pretty damn amazing in positional TvT and has beat out the likes of Leenock, Lucky and plenty of other amazing Zergs.

D- Hyun, Squirtle

Hyun is just a favorite in my head, I don't believe his stats reflect his true skill in each of the match-ups. If he's been practicing hard since the last GSL finals he should be just fine.
Squirtle... what to say about him. He has been a FAVE of mine forever. The brainchild for Parting's builds as they call it. He literally put out the MOST EXCITING GAME EVER against MVP and certainly the best series. I figured it was just a matter of time until he was owning it up again. I'm more excited to see Squirtle than almost anyone in this season of Code S. The round of 32 should really let us know what kind of all around shape he is in.

E- Parting, Ryung

Perhaps the easiest group of all to predict.

Parting. hmmm. Parting. Just say it with me. Parting. It sounds just like WIN to me. SKT1 Parting. FTW.

It's not so much that i've got a feeling for Ryung than I have a feeling and intuition about Losira and Byun. I don't even know how Losira pulled it off but good for him. If he ever decides to play 2013 starcraft instead of 2011 strategies he could mayyyyyybe do well. I don't think so though. Byun wont beat out Ryung when we talk about TvT or just who is the better player.

F- MVP, MKP/RORO - can't figure it out.

MVP should have an edge in general and I think he must want this season more than most anybody. Putting on a 5th pin in WOL would cement him even further in the history books of SC2.

It depends which MKP shows up. RORO is strong and could easily do well even though ZvT isn't his best match-up. He has been doing considerably well in it lately. Pretty excited for this group. Keen, well that would be a cool story if he did well. Just imagine if Clide-Burns was in this group. Artosis would have a nerd-fit.

G- Taeja, NesTea!!!!!!

NesTea will win this GSL. I'm calling it here. All the other predictions of who wants it the most and who has chances, does not stand up to the fact that NesTea made these groups, slumped all the way to Code B just to make his return all that more glorious.
Teaja will make it out of the group easy enough but who cares when NesTea already won the GSL.

H- Bogus, DRG

I have strong confidence in DRG and hope Stephano can take 2nd. But realistically I think Bogus will show up some great play. He is amazing TvT and if he really buckles down and practices his TvZ he could definitely take 2nd place. If not I think Stephano might make it to the round of 16.

Hope you enjoy my predictions and what not.

Ok, I see a chance for Stephano to mkae as the second place the way out of the group.
Now rooting for HuK... Miracle can happen

I think group H is group of death. Life is obviously going to advance from A and second place is just a tossup between who plays better that day. However in H if everyone is playing their best it's pretty hard to tell who will take it.

Actually now that I think about it DRG did just 3-0 Stephano in Iron Squid.. so who really knows.

Anyone who's seen Huk's game in Proleague knows he doesn't stand a chance.

Stephano's group... could be worse, I guess. Only one other Zerg.

i think thats a bit harsh on HuK, he chose the wrong build in proleague and got destroyed. in a best of 1, that will happen. he didnt do too badly in his up and down group though. that being said, i think he'll put up a fight but wont advance
