Group A has a lot storylines between the Koreans.

Taeja/San bromance as well as Life vs Taeja/San/Leenock rematches.

Also D with all the 2011 Terran gsl champs (minus Mvp ;; )

Also Leenock knocking TaeJa out of TWOP (and stopping his summer dominance)

Taeja always in the group of death.

Poor Snute. No Protoss and lots of strong Terrans. Still, he's not without chances.

Overall I like these groups. I'm having a hard time coming up with predictions.

Thought I'd put this out there since the feature is so nicely in place on our site

Unfortunately the code for double elim bracket predictions isnt 100% (it is somewhere in the files, but not published for whatever reason I can't exactly remember), but you can always predict the matches as they come up...

Anyway this results in the following winner bracket (assuimng A-B and C-D are group matchings):

                  Win    Top 2    Top 4

Taeja has a good shot of making it out 1st. San... he'll probably be 3rd I'd say. Life obviously should do well, Bunny got fucked though.

Bunny got such a hard group

and naturally a Liquid teamkill has to happen. But the tournament is going to be amazing for sure, let's hope that as many people as possible tune in to watch it

Perhaps this'll be his time to shine and solidify his place as top foreigner by getting 1st in the group!

Innovation really pulled out because he saw he was in Group A. I wouldn't blame him. If he wasn't confident that he could get top 4 in DHW, and then come back just in time for his Hot6 Cup match (vs sOs), then he might have made the right decision, financially speaking. A bit of a bummer we don't get to see him here, though. Group A would have been so stacked...

I wonder if Innovation just cares that much more about tournament prestige than prize money...
