Gogo estimate the chances of the foreigners!
0% for all 3.
Reynor is a tier below Ryung and 3 tiers below Classic and sOs.
SpeCial is a tier below KeeN, 2 tiers below soO, and 3 tiers below Rogue.
Neeb actually has a decent group, especially since aLive doesn't have a particularly good TvP result in months (his record since April is like 2-10 against players with a pulse), but if Neeb is losing to Silky even factoring in cross server issues and maybe having a bad day, he's in awful form.

Wow almost all the groups are strong... I feel for Forte, MMA, Hurricane and Parting and Reynor. They gonna have it rough.

F is the group of death for me. TY and Trap are obviously ro16/ro8 level, but Ragnarok and Bunny are underrated and have a lot of potential to go far I don't see it. TY is clearly above the rest of his group. Trap is a bit above Bunny and Bunny a bit above Rag, but overall those 3 aren't that far apart. But Rag and Bunny aren't players I see as having the ability to go deeper than Ro16 at this point. Ragnarok, as much as I like him honestly I don't think he would advance from any Ro32 group this season. Group D for example has 3 players who actually have the potential to make it to the Ro8 and not being a surprise.
It's the only group where I wouldn't be suprised if any of them made ro16. It doesn't have any obviously weaker 1-2 players like most ro32 groups. TY is of course the best, but the other three are decent enough to advance

i'm hopeful for soo to get out of his group, major and keen should be easy walkovers. hopefully he overcame his demons and can stomp evil rogue who took his blizzcon championship

Overall, balanced groups, hopefully this season won't be a stomp.

Stats is dead in the water isnt he

(P)Zest chose (P)PartinG
Of all the players, why would Zest choose PartinG in his group? Even if Zest is confident in his PvsP, is PartinG really the weakest Protoss? PartinG is getting back into the game, but assuming he is not too old, he still has the potential mechanics and decision making of a previous champion.
I would think there are easier players for Zest to choose than PartinG.

Calling Special a tier below Keen is bold.

MMA not in Team Expert anymore?

I don't know, he hasn't lost 0-3 to MaNa yet.

In general yes, although KeeN's last Ro32 performances were very impressive and it was a shame he didn't make it either time.

Maru Ro16 confirmed?
GSL Champ again confirmed

I think group H is really strong since KeeN has shown strong performances in the GSL recently. Although I still think that it's hard to establish a group of death in ro32 since you're bound to have the "weaker" players spread out a bit more.
Also this is really becoming like ASL with FlaSh lol; Maru is in all the trailers

soo gonna crush special. parting gonna crush byunn(poor byun). ive seen games where reynor beat gumiho., but whether he makes it out or not he has to be proud. this gsl is pretty stacked.

I'm pulling for Parting so hard for no other reason than he makes ro 16 drafting hilarious. I'm also hoping SoS gets to at least ro4 because I feel to get to Blizzcon he at least needs that + a round of 4 in the second super tournament to qualify.

What's wrong with Stats? His group isn't the easiest but he should still definitely make it out. Inno is the only real threat to him and even then I'd say it's 50/50.
Hurricane's PvP is good but he has a weak mentality. He's basically the definition of a ladder hero, strong online and weak offline. Cure in his prime was very impressive, but that was also a very long time ago. Neither have much of a chance against Stats, so it's just whether he gets out in 1st or 2nd.
Dark horses this season are sOs and Inno. Both of them are being overlooked because their recent performances have been unspectacular, and both have a long track record of peaking around this time every year. sOs has the JAGW effect going for him, while Inno bought the rights to Season 3.
