I wouldn't be so quick to assume Xigua will hold in Premier. His ZvZ looked pretty poor in Tours, and Toodming's ZvZ, as we've seen before, is legit good.
Also not to be slept on: Mystery. He's torn up the GPL for 3 seasons now, and he pushes PvP opponents HARD.

yeah it'd be sick if mystery qualifies for premier league. It's always nice to see up and coming players making it

he almost always gets into Premier
last season he lost to what, POLT and TLO
thats nothing to be called a slump
Jim was the best player in China at one point, him getting top 16/8 in WCS America was expected at one point. This is no longer the case. He's doing worse than he used to. That is a slump

u look at the opponents he faces, and not just "top 16/8"
for example if ForGG is matched up vs Polt in challenger, and loses, is ForGG really weak and sucks now since he cant even get into Premier?
recently losing to the CHAMPION and a top foreigner once, is not really a slump
I guessed iA, TooDming, Jim and MacSed will win. Just give a tip: Mystery said he would have apprenticeship in July. He may not participate in 2015 WCS Season 3.
Just translate one of them: Who do you think can get the champion? Four Chinese offical casters: F91: Courage, Cyan, TooDming and MacSed will enter Premier. MacSed will get the champion. Xiaose: iA, Jim, TooDming and Macsed will enter Premier. TooDming will get the champion. Mayuki: iA, Jim, TooDming and Macsed will enter Premier though she hoped Courage will get the champion. Fire: iA, Jim, XiGua and Macsed will enter Premier. MacSed will get the champion.

Due to the influence of poisoned milk of Xiaose, who happens to be her boss, people in Chinese community are all very vary when it comes to committing judgements. I think she doesn't want to curse Courage, who's a very good friends of hers.
