Keen's best mu is TvT iirc, MKP is hot as hell right now, and if Mvp cant take a map off Goswser, how will he come close to RorO? It seems, Mvp has no chance, but then again, this is the GSL so i guess he does. Well, to be fair. + Show Spoiler + goswser went up 2-0 vs Life before losing 2-3 | ||

It's only good for zerg for the early and mid game. Broodlord/Infestor pretty much isn't viable on whirlwind and that's the main thing people complain about. No. WW is a great Zerg map. You always see zergs picking it when they can. And you have stated the reason. It is so good for Zerg is the early mid game with ling bling muta or ling infestor. It is a myth that zergs NEED BL/infestors. Maybe if the Zerg is on similar Econ, the infestor/BL is much more cost effective. On WW, the Zerg should have such a big lead from the early and mid game that they should be able to finish it off with more bling ling muta or switch to Ultras. If Zerg comes out of the mid game even, then they have already been outplayed. | ||

Curious and Baby havent had breakout performances yet, and Leenock just doesnt get attention. Which is why group B is so underrated. They are all extremely good, but they havent had their season yet. Meanwhile MKP and MVP at their primes looked incredible and because of their performance and revolutionary play are burned into our minds as some of the all-time great players. Then Keen and Roro are both really solid performers too, which contributes to group F being so highly praised. Besides, group f will probably be really interesting. The three T's all have pretty different playstyles and are all really good at TvT | ||

in group B I am really looking forward to see BaBy play, from what i've seen of him he is really really good, don't expect much from MC, although he seems to play much better recently. my prediction is Leenock/BaBy advance. group C I dont see Sniper not advancing and 2nd player should be GuMiho, maybe Bomber. I think HuK has the least chances to advance out of any player group D would be cool to see Squirtle advance as there is a lack of good protoss players this season. will be hard for him though as all the players seem to be pretty close in skill except HyuN might be 1 step ahead of the others currently. group E looks very interesting, I think this is the group where no matter what happens it wont be surprising. looks very hard to predict. it also looks like the strongest groups along with group A and H although all are very close. F is the one I am least interested in tbh, but I would like KeeN to have some success as he always underperformed for how good he always was. RorO looks like one of the stronger Kespa players and I can definitely see him winning easily, dunno what to expect from Marineking. in group G it will be interesting to see Noblesse play for me as I haven't seen his play in a while for some reason, TaeJa and Soulkey will probably advance and the last group will be very cool to see aswell especially for tvz fans, will definitely be very high level and I hope to see Stephano and Hack come out on top. overall too much terran and zerg sadly :/ but at least we get to see Squirtle, PartinG and Creator. Would have loved to see players like Oz and Rain in this season but oh well. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/qmWtr.jpg) http://www.thisisgame.com/board/view.php?id=1423696&category=13438 Some guys on Reddit gave us a rough translation of a few details. New Maps: GSL Icarus Kilron plains KeSPA Neo Planet S GSL Bel `Shir Vestige (Added destructible rocks,place for overlord to sit in front deleted, the second expansion in the region extended from the plains of the central area road downhill - uphill terrain has changed.) GSL Whirl Wind (Possible destruction of the second expansion area and every one of rock was added.) GSL Cloud Kingdom (Unchanged) GSL Day Break (Unchanged) just a few things GSL Icarus (there are gold minerals in the back-natural but they only have 1500min per patch) Akilon Plains (basically the ladder map but the watchtowers are set to disappear after the first 7min and rocks to the 3rd adjusted to 1000hp) KeSPA Neo Planet S (Now with slightly wider attack routes) http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/16lh8l/new_map_pool_for_gsl/c7x3mp7 | ||

If Creator doesn't go deep in this season's GSL, toss has little hope. Parting is, well, partying with his new-found wealth, and Squirtle is being disgruntled by jealousy. MC/Huk will do their thing.. which means _______ (insert your own thoughts). I am betting large on Creator this season. The dude deserves as much attention from the community as Leenock does. | ||
