I could see the former giants falling off the map in this Code A (Nestea/MVP). Unfortunately I don't see them sticking in much longer, as much as I'd like them to. I don't think MVP and Nestea are falling off map, the competition is greater that it was when they were winning GSLs ... Nestea got 4th i think it was at Iron Squid 2, he has been playing well. Nestea is looking shaky at best, I can't see him go far this season if he doesn't get back into shape. Same could be said of mvp, but he got his wrists to worry about. For mvp it's a question of his medical condition, but for nestea I think it's a more a matter of motivation or even ability.
Nestea just seemed off in his code S group. Yea he tends to do bad endgame but what he did there was beyond that.
He also played great in Iron Squid 2 a bit before that. It's to early to drop him tbh. People said the same before when he went to code B and 2 seasons later (the earliest possible) he was back in code S.

There has been no reference to 'premium' or 'dual' streams for a while now.

I'm not going to be able to make any threads this week because of labs + tests + being sick so I'm going to need some other people to do it again. Sorry I haven't been as on the ball lately. I should still have time to make all the templates but I need someone to update them because I cant afford to be up at 4 am this week

Are you kidding? Shut up, relax and get better.  You're doing great.

mvp vs zerg? I can't see Mvp not falling down to code B. It might be a good thing for him.

Dude, you don't need to apologise, ever. You've done a lot of great things for the community recently and that's much appreciated. Thanks for the effort you put in; get better and good luck.

Here's my predictions that no one cares about:
Byul is going to win over Effort due to his motivation to prove that he deserves to be on his new team
JD will lose to Lure, since it isn't JvZ
I think Hero will actually get past the King of Code A. While there's no doubt Yugioh performs in this tournament, I think the time off is going to end up hurting Yugioh will end up hurting him quite a bit
Fantasy is the clear favorite over Zenio if you examine each of their recent performances, but both are prone to swings in ability. I'm going to say Fantasy takes this one
Yoda will demolish Tear because he is my favorite player and if he doesn't win I will be super sad
While you can never count the Game Genie terran out, his recent performances lead me to believe he won't make it out of this Code A. soO takes this one.
Huk CAN play much better that he did in the round of 32. I've always liked Huk as a player, so I'm blindly taking him over Shine.
Haven't been keeping up too much with Proleague, but I still think that Yonghwa is the clear favorite in this matchup. Assuming no chokes, this is his match to take.
Byun and Revival are somewhat evenly matched, but I think Byun barely got edged out in Code S and is still a stronger player overall, so he takes this one
With Seed seeming to have regained his motivation for playing, and assuming he's maintained form after his tenure in Code B, I think he will crush anything Center throws at him.
Flash is quickly becoming a mainstay of Code A, and with Sola's only big win being his ZvZ over Stephano I would say Flash will take this one and is the easy favorite in this match-up.
Rain has also shown a return to form since his slump during Season 5 and should take the match over Shine.
I've never heard of Haruhi and while Nestea may be awful at ZvT for some reason, his vP is pretty good at the moment so I think Nestea takes this one easy.

wait, do I understand it right that there is the potential for a sniper - hyun rematch in which the loser has no chance of returning to code S this season?

The loser of that potential match would get another chance in the up/downs.

aaah, ok. that also eases the stress in other potential matchups, like for example flash vs rain.

So MVP is still playing? As much I do like MVP, I definitely think he should do what's best for his health (even if it means he has to retire).
Maybe he doesn't have to fully retire, maybe he could come back in LotV (which will take 3 years or so to come out, assuming it takes the same time as HotS did).
He'll be remembered as the best SC2 WoL player and the Terran hope during the days when Zerg and Protoss dominated everything else (which was a period of 5-6 months but that's still a decent amount of time).
Edit - Though if it isn't too bad, I think he should try 1-2 more seasons to try to get that 5 champion GSL trophy. Then he could retire.
If MVP still plays, I hope he does well in HotS and owns it up right away.

Lol, I don't remember this period... At least not in GSL. I think this season must be the one which is the most balanced, with a total of 23T, 23 P + 26Z in code A + code S. Usually there are much more T. I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure I'm not.
Edit : http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/GOMTV_Global_StarCraft_II_League/Statistics#Overall_Racial_Distribution (I would have prefered distribution for code A + code S because it gives more stable values, but it still quite representative).
Anyway this time, race distribution is pretty good
