Intro: Out of the 16 players who made it into the Korean Air Starleague, 15 have a chance to win it. The one and only player who's been eliminated for sure is Kwanro, and we only have one day of matches until that pool of 15 is narrowed down to 8.
Who's already guaranteed a spot? BaBy, ZerO, and fOrGG will be advancing no matter what.
With the potential for tiebreakers in all 4 groups, it could be a very long night.
"Strap yourselves in, boys."
Tiebreaker Format: If 3 players end up tied in group standings, the 3 tied players each play each other once for a total of 3 games. If one player goes 2-0, he advances. If two players are needed, the player who went 1-1 advances as well. If all 3 players go 1-1, there is another tiebreaker with the same format.

Kwanro > hyvaa
I don't see anyone but Flash or Kal advancing from this group no matter who wins this game. But I have to pick a winner, and when in doubt, pick Kwanro.
BaBy < Movie
Baby is the better player but Movie's shown strong carrier play on EotS, and I think the map imba will carry him to victory. This is NOT a CJ fanboy pick.
Pure < ZerO
Great Barrier Reef is basically El Nino, and ZerO's muta micro is a lot better than Shine's. Pure is solid and beat Calm, but Match Point is much better for PvZ than GBR.
fOrGG > Shine
This is a CJ fanboy pick, because if Shine wins Effort can't advance. However, I don't think many people would pick Shine over fOrGG anyway.
