Bunny is in a group with 2 of the most famous and sucessful Korean Terrans. If he advances, he is the new foreign hope.

Yup. As of know he is expected foreign sacrificial lamb

Is it just me or does this crop of players look a bit underwhelming... so many upsets early on that I feel this ro16 could've been so much better. Also, the racial distribution between groups is kind of disappointing. PvT has been awesome to watch recently with the mine buff and less all-ins, so I was looking forward to some epic PvT matchups, but guna have to wait for ro8 I guess.

As far as the groups go, poor Bunny

was rooting for him to advance but man is it going to be tough now. If he can play some killer TvT I could see him having a chance against mvp, and if MMA pulls one of his "i'm going to suck for no apparent reason" then maybe he will get lucky.

It's just you, this round of 16 looks awesome to me.

Well, at least 2 Protoss are guaranteed not to make it

Seriously though, these brackets look great. Will be some really close games I feel. I can't wait!

Terrible race distribution, but pretty even in skill. Should be some interesting games, shame there's hardly any PvT though.

A: Mvp and MMA
B: Jjakji and Dayshi
C: Stardust and Babyknight
D: MC and San

Guess we'll make up for the lack of PvT in the Ro16 with plenty in the RO8...

Advancing in 1st place from 6 out of 7 WCS groups. The 2nd-best record vs. Terran than any other player in the group according to Aligulac (and only 2nd-best by a margin of nine hundredths of a percent). Victory over MMA in a Bo5 last time they played offline. Consistent high-level performance against Korean opponents.

You mark my words, Vortix WILL advance from the Group of Death.

Group A! I hate TvT but I love watching MMA and MVP fight. They always had some of the best games.

Have they met in HotS yet?

I honestly think he's got a good shot too. Starcraft has gotten so competitive all of the tournaments have been awesome lately. So many good players, so many good games! Man, it's good to be a starcraft player/spectator!!
