Should be a really interesting group to watch though. Hero was hilarious during the group selection :D what did he do? i haven't had time to watch it yet | ||

Meanwhile, Group C is like, all of the washed up people who were once a top player but are no longer. | ||

Would have been much more difficult if we had replaced Impact with a top tier Korean. | ||

Maru Impact Neeb Reynor I really want to see a full foreigner upset. impact+reynor have to practice for all 3 match ups. i predict neeb and maru advance but it will be difficult for both of them IMO. B Dark Gumiho Rogue Inno-bation Innovation+Rogue is the question mark of this group. innovation has to change his game vs zerg.. watching serrals lings run over lowered depots for 40+ scv kills vs a foreigner is probably psychologically awful heading into this group C Zest Leenock Trap herO Leenock practices only for one matchup, and he was godlike vs dear. i predict he eats everyone. which zest will show up? all the hype about his pvp but he was shown to be very inflexible in pvp recently, losing the game to himself essentially. herO will bend him and trap until they break D Stats Keen TY sOs Stats will advance without a doubt (in my mind at least). Keen is a question mark. TY is uninspiring and needs to plan better for contingencies. Whenever i watch TY, i just think "this would work really well on ladder," but this is code S and theres a good chance that both stats and sOs won't even allow him to play anything that resembles a ladder game, because they know him as a player very well. cant wait.. | ||

For the most part I agree but it's kinda weird that you focus on INno for his bad TvZ while Rogue looked completely clueless in the matchup | ||

Trap TY $O$ Anyone wanna hit me for siding out their favorite players? Thoughts though? I can't believe Maru had to switch Reynor and TY. Not sure if I heard it correctly but Maru wanted a team kill between TY and Stats. This might be the worst predictions I've ever seen. Not because it will be wrong (which it will be). But because it's so non-committal while also being wrong. | ||

Group A Maru Impact Foreigners have to take a hit sometime - neeb isn't anything like serral and reynor, after going 2-2 versus classic, has done poorly in foreigner events since then. Group B Dark Rogue TvZ is Z favored right now, and these are the two best zergs in the world. Group C Zest Trap Zest was mad after losing to a foreigner at GSL vs The World. It's clear that he didn't take his opponent seriously and got jumped. I think he's highly motivated - not emotionally broken - and will play his best starcraft this GSL season to make up for what happened. Trap I think is just the obvious next pick, the other two don't seem more likely to me. Group D Stats sOs sOs too strong for TY! | ||
