That's how I feel. I feel like he has a chance, but I won't be shocked at all if he gets knocked out T_T. I hope he just crushes his competition.

A: Rain, Jaedong
I don't think MC or Welmu can play at JD's level, even if it is JvP
B: Bomber, Polt
First looked shaky vs. Supernova
C: Taeja, Innovation
they're both very good at TvP
D: Maru, Jim
still unsure about Maru but I'll give him a chance since he did win WCS Korea. Jim could definitely beat Scarlett and MMA
MC definitely can play at his level, whether he will or not is another story. I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see MC beat any other player, but at the same time I wouldn't be surprised to see him lose to any other player either.
Does anyone find it strange that all three regional second place finishers are in the same group?

The only argument you could make is for sOs, who did get knocked out of group stages.
Symbol and Soulkey got knocked out in Bo5, and then Bo3 series.
KangHo lost in the Bo3 group stage. (Besides, KR only gets 5 slots this time)
RorO lost in the Bo1 group stage... but he disappointed badly, going 0-3 in his Up & Down group too.

And even sOs lost to eventual champion Maru, so you can't say that is going to be different under a Bo3.

One group gets 3 second places and the other groups get 1 first place each. Fair enough I suppose 
PS it's really hard not to think of Innovation as a first place finisher for me, even though he's never won WCS KR :\

Grubby : (
Gotta enter that pvt god mode : )
I hope scarlett makes it through for the foreigner pride.
I don't really see any other foreigner making it out...
I hope they will prove me wrong :D

Huh, even with his excellent PvP, I didn't expect Welmu as second place at all.

Nani and Welmu (against MC's poor PvP with a very good match up) gets a boost because their first opponent.

If I was forced to make a bet on a foreigner, it would be Welmu for sure.

I think there is a better than 50% chance either Jim and Scarlett advances. Also either one would have a slightly better chance than Welmu for the reason that they can beat anyone in the group, whereas I don't see Welmu beating Rain.
