YoDa and MarineKing in same the group... Who am I gonna cheer for? 
|
Life possibly against Gumiho. Gawd no, Gumi's TvZ style is annoying. ~_~
|
This is surprisingly "weak". Cant find a really stacked group and there quite some players which i dont consider that strong. Possibility for crazy stacked ro16 still exists though. Vroup of death is almost always fun
|
easy groups for Parting, Dark and Soulkey, hope Life can make it through as well
|
 TaeJa in the same group as  Terminator, hehe
Group C is "the group of death"
|
FINALLY!
Mostly good ro32 groups.
- MC is totally coming out of the first group.
- Might lose Soulkey early tbh :/
- Group C = group of death
- Bomber might be in trouble with his recent TvT....less ofc Dream is still awful in that matchup. Doubt Yonghwa will do much.
- E is pretty nice. Don't sleep on First, he's getting good again. Hack is also slightly underrated.
- Taeja will crush Terminator for revenge. herO tops the group.
- Not much to say on G. Dark rekts it I guess.
- Bogus takes first in H. Maybe Heart can upset Solar in TvZ? Unlikely though.
|
Best grand final possible :
Life or Solar vs Maru or MarineKing or FanTaSy or TY
|
These groups feel a bit weak

Get out.
MC is 2-basing their asses into oblivion and doing a good ol' ceremony to top it off.

You have to let it go, no matter how much you want it the old times won't come back.
Nestea and Mvp are already irrelevant, MC is next

MC has a around a 40% win rate vs Koreans. I seriously doubt he will go through.

Good group for YoDa
Who's your favourite in order? YoDa, MVPMK or Maru?

These predictions are based on the assumption that the next season will use the Season 3 map pool instead of the one currently in progress.
A: Rogue is on the upswing right now, and Penguin's still an unknown, so I assume it's gonna be a decider between Fantasy and MC. As much as my instinct says to go Fantasy, there's just something about a large stage that tells me it's time to show those "KR Koreans" who's boss.
B: For the life of me, I can't see a way that San falls out here. The second spot COULD go to MarineKing, but Soulkey is looking to be in good shape again, and I give him the edge.
C: Aww, the Rain had to come and ruin our picnic. Rain, Life, and Gumiho are all powerhouses right now, but I think it's gonna be Gumiho coming up short. Life has performed well against Terran lately and has Gumiho's recent TvZ loss to Jaedong to study, and Rain went through Terrans exclusively to make it into Code S.
D: Well, YongHwa beat a good amount of Terrans in the qualifier, and he only has the one matchup to prepare for, so you have to assume...HAHAHA, no. It's Code S Ro32, he's going down in flames. This is an easy TY-Bomber group (I say TY first because of Bomber's loss to Yoda in Proleague.)
E: We can throw Hack out straight away. Just not on that level. It's easy to do the same to First, and I don't think he'll advance, but Parting shouldn't be spending too long preparing his ceremonies just yet, because First showed over the past year that if he gets a chance to play, he isn't gonna get rolled by anyone.
F: They seriously gave Terminator another go at Taeja. Amazing. Had I not seen SSL Challenger, I'd say this is beyond simple: herO and Taeja, in that order. But when Jin Air Protosses have time to prepare for Taeja...nah, it won't happen twice. Right?
G: Seed, I love ya, but this will just not be your day. Dark and Dear have both already shown that they're in excellent shape, so the only question is MMA. His TvZ results since coming back to KR competition include a loss to TerrorPrime and a 2-1 against Pet, so Dark moves on. And his TvP included a 3-3 victory against GungFuBanda, so Dear would have to move on too. Sorry MMA, but you gotta prove it.
H: I can't believe I'm saying this in a Ro32 group, but Solar's dead in the water. Innovation is Innovation, Heart is a TvZ monster, and Super can't be relied on to give Solar perfect bracket luck. So unless Heart's TvP is quite a bit off form, this should be an Innovation-Heart group.
So that's a predicted Ro16 of Rogue, MC, San, Soulkey, Rain, Life, TY, Bomber, Maru, Parting, herO, Taeja, Dark, Dear, Innovation, and Heart. Sounds like fun.

I doubt that Inno can take a game over Solar...

I like them all, but I'll cheer for YoDa the most cause I'm a Prime fan

Group B is the Group of Death, imo. B is a bit stronger than C or D are.
Predictions:
A - Rogue, Fantasy
B - San, MarineKing
C - Life, Rain
D - Dream, TY
E - Parting, Maru
F - herO, Taeja
G - Dark, Dear
H - Innovation, Solar
Only in groups B,C, and D do I think there will be much competition or deviation from my predictions. Very stoked for a lot of these matches though, and I definitely hope to see Dream, Dark, Rogue, and Fantasy do well, given their recent performances.
In regards to Terminator vs Taeja potential match, I don't think Terminator is actually that good. In fact, I'd say he is rather bad, and Taeja just started playing horrendously towards the end of the series, eventually losing it 3-2. I severely doubt that Terminator is capable of making it out of that group...
