I think HyuN is basically locked for Code S as long as he doesn't derp, but probably going to go between Bomber and KeeN. Sorry MaNa, but you have close to 0% chance in this group.
Awww. So hard to pick, both in terms of who I think will make it and who I want to make it.
Keen, Bomber, Jjakji and Hyun are all players I really want to see in Code S. (On the other hand, I have a feeling that if all the players I want to see in Code S would actually be there at once, Code S would have 50 or so people in it.) Then again, it would be really nice to see a foreigner make it through U&Ds.
I somehow doubt that Jjakji will make it. He has looked pretty shaky, historically his TvT has been an achilles heel and even his TvZ has not adjusted to the patch change as fast as what we have seen in some other Terrans.
Hyun is still a bit of a mystery to me. He looks spectacular at times, but he can also look pretty mediocre. King of Lair tech I guess? But there is a lot of raw potential there.
Bomber and Keen. Well, both are amazing in their own ways. It would really please me if Bomber could somehow achieve some consistency at his peak. Keen is impossible not to love. More success = more celebration.
All in all, a really interesting group, at least to me.
Keen is certainly beatable for mana but his chance depends on which jjakji and bomber turn up. If the jjakji that can win GSLs and step up his game to save his team in team leagues or the bomber who's supposed to have won a GSL at some point turn up gg no re for mana but if the two dazed and confused terrans who throw away matches in absurd fashion turn up then mana can advance from the group. Hyun should be able to top this group unless jjakji and bomber have a really good day.

I had to turn up the brightness on my monitor and stand above it in order to see the text in that picture, I thought it was just a blank page at first. Not sure if that's a problem on my end.
