really nice writeup!

The groups are really stacked, but I like the chances of the foreigners getting out.

That said:
Group A: Maru for sure, the other 2 is hard, but I really think Special has quite a stable game these days and can beat anyone.

Group B: I would say Dark for sure, but I think True can beat both zergs, he playes really well against Scarlett. Innovation doesn`t look that well lately, still 3 zergs to play.

Group C: here I think Seral is favourite by a mile to get out. I don`t feel that Zest is back to his good form and have the feeling that the other 2 players who will qualify from here, will lose in the RO12.

Group D: Classic favourtite for sure, SoS also. Third place is hard, I hope for a dark horse HeroMarine, he plays really well lately, I think he can take out Trap and Ryung.

Also Elazer and Nerchio have that +10 something because they are polish, so they can get out anytime, pushed by the power of the crowd.

sOs is 1-3 in finals since his blizzcon win and not 0-3 as he won IEM Taipei. That was shortly after blizzcon so it doesn't change your point much, just pointing it out

Ryung defeated Classic in a showmatch last August, though also lost to Classic in a match the same month. He may have gained momentum from making it into group stages.


and the deciding map was Steppes of War which Classic had never played on before.
[SKT1.Rain] is the Postman Protoss, because by.Sun or by.Rain he delivers.

i want Maru to win it all but he always falls short i hope he can go all the way at IEM besides with players like Classic, Dark and Zest its going to be tough.

typo in Group B predictions: "...head into Group B" it says D
i would define my style between a mix of ByuN, Maru and MKP

It wasn't a premier tournament though. Apparently he only counted those

Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

I wonder if Dear remembers going out last in his group against two Terrans.
