Special makes a RO8 Dream disappoints again Bunny and Ragnorok don't make it past the RO32 Solar doesn't make it past the RO16, AGAIN Zest makes the finals
Besides Zest only the Special prediction can be considered somewhat bold

Nope =/
(Unless you can have your "rookiness" back after 9 years. If so, TOP is a rookie ! :p )

Sad for Patience

I need TaeJa and Bomber to make deep runs and avoid each other if possible. I need the old guard back.

Anybody knows if Serral or Reynor participated in these qualifiers?

The qualifier for IEM was aweful for Terran with only 5 Terran qualifying out of 24 spots for the main event. And then the GSL Super Tournament qualifier was also aweful for Terran with 4 Terran making it to the main event out of 16 spots. But it's good to see some balance in the qualifiers for this GSL, as we came very close to 1/3 for each race. Fan fact: Rogue was the only zerg to qualify on day 1 of the qualifiers, along with 6 protoss and 5 terrans. Which is fine because Dark and Solar were already seeded so they didn't have to qualify. And then Serral and Reynor didn't participate in this GSL qualifier. So many of the top Zergs in the world were missing on the first day of the GSL qualifier. I never made a comment about any implications, just shared something I found interesting... and potentially promising.

They didn't participate.

I predict 3 Protoss and a Zerg will be in the Ro4, then the Zerg will win it all.

In no particular order, my top three non-seeded are innovation, zest, and soO. However, I can't imagine any of them as champions this time around.
Edit: overlooked Rogue, see my follow up post.
I think soO is completely out of form.

I'll make a bold prediction - there will be a first time GSL winner this season.

But it's good to see some balance in the qualifiers for this GSL, as we came very close to 1/3 for each race.
This tournament has got 7 protoss, 9 terran and 8 zerg in the Ro24 groups. That is one terran too many and one protoss too few for perfect distribution. You said the balance was awful in GSL Super Tournament with 4 terrans out of 16 players. There were 5 zerg (perfect number) and 7 protoss. That is also one terran player and one protoss player away from perfect distribution.
How come the distribution of one terran player and one protoss player too many/few gets the "good to see each race almost had 1/3 of the spots" this time while the Super Tournament gets the "aweful for Terran"? Is it because fewer players make anything from perfect seem uneven, while more players even the curve out a bit? Or is it because one tournament can have an exact 1/3 per race so one off seem less striking than when it cannot be exactly 1/3, so any uneven distribution is more visible?

While I can see Teaja taking a series and with a lot of luck even advancing to the next round, Bomber is pretty much one of the weakest players in the complete field right now.. Not getting last in his group would be allright for him in my view.

Does anyone know when it starts?
EDIT: Nvm
