I think there's such parity in SC2 among the top players right now that it's very hard to predict anything short of a mismatch (and even that is hard; who was predicting soO 3-0 Soulkey?!). Only a few things would surprise me:

1) Soulkey is very likely to make it out of Group A. Polt is my favorite player but I feel like even on an average day, Soulkey is so solid that even if he loses to Polt (which I doubt), I feel like there's no way he'll lose to Hack or MC.

2) Very unlikely that Genius or duckdeok make it out of their groups. I have a big soft spot for Genius (and am developing one for duckdeok) but they seem like SUCH underdogs. I would love to see Genius make some kind of run though, especially to help him find a good spot on a team.

3) I think Maru is very likely to make it out of Group D. He's clearly not just a flash in the pan, and he might lose to soO, but he shouldn't lose to ByuL or duckdeok.

So I'll say:

A: Soulkey, Polt
B: MMA, Trap
C: Dear, Oz
D: Maru, ByuL

Jaedong did almost lose to Hack in WCS AM.

Agree with your predictions, although I'll go with soO over Maru in group D. I love Maru and he's obviously not a flash in the pan, like you say. A bit worried about his TvZ though, looked rather shaky in the HSC qualifier.

A: Soulkey, Polt
B: MMA, Trap
C: Dear, Oz
D: soO, ByuL

I'm cheering for Hack. I hope this is the tourney where he finally has a breakout run.

soO is facing Maru in the first match, and ByuL is facing duckdeok. Is there a mistake in your article or at Liquipedia tournament page? http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2013_WCS_Season_3

However, my predictions are:

A) Soulkey, MC
B) MMA, Trap
C) Dear, VortiX
D) soO, Maru

Polt vs MMA final would be my dream. Then unlike ST it goes full 7 games and is the greatest TvT series ever.
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

Hey guys, so what's a good app for a Nexus 7 tablet if I want to use it as a sign? Static text and/or dynamic text would be cool.

Thumbs up to the TL team. The write ups keep getting better and better, and so much that the TL fans are pissed when they don't write some important ones. (i.e. preview for the finals day america)

Really well done on this one. An awesome read.

I have faith in Polt or Byul to take it all. Regardless, it will be an event to remember with all these phenomenal players.

I hope we have more big events in Canada!
If it comes down to you or them, send flowers.

Great write-up, managed to make me pumped for every single group instead of just that ridiculous group A. Really hoping Vortix makes it through.

Maru, soO
HerO, VortiX (yes i fucking mean it)
Trap, Jaedong
Polt, Soulkey
duckdeok's a bit of a wildcard though
