Love that you talked about the map stats. It really is the best chance ever for a foreigner to win it all!
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Very interesting read, Heromarine eating sOs first match of groups and Special doing the same to Rogue are bold predictions indeed.

Interesting stats. Anyone know why TvP on Cerulean Fall is so Terran favoured? I vetoed it immediately because TvZ is a nightmare, but if TvP is that easy maybe I should try it again.

Very good preview overall, thanks for writing it. I was a little bit amused to think of Nerchio reading your comments in his power ranking (although given the extremely high level of opponents, it's probably accurate).

I think it's because both third locations are hard to defend for protoss: the one in triangle you can get abused by tanks on the high ground / drops in the main, and the other one if you want to hold high ground you don't defend your second base well enough. When liberators come out you have nice places to siege overall.

That would be my guess.

OK thanks, that could be it.

I agree with your list, except I would favor Zest over Showtime.

She didn't qualify, probably too invested in Korea to do well enough in WCS?
