Guess what !
It's prediction time !
Here are mine :
Yellow[Name](Z) 0 < 2 JulyZerg(Z)
Although I really like YellOw[Name], I just can't vote against the God Of War. YellOw[Name] is a new-comer and this Wilcard match has got to be the most important match of his young carreer. JulyZerg on the other hand is one of the most experienced Zerg player in terms of stressful matches.
ShinHwa(Z) 1 < 2 IntoTheRainbow(P)
This is going to be a very close serie. ShinHwa is another new-comer and he got humiliated by BoxeR during their last game (who doesn't

Casy(T) 0 < 2 Iris(T)
This is my upset bet right here. Iris has shown some impressive TvT shape. Casy is just playing so bad it hurts my eyes whenever I watch him now. What happened to that BoxeR Jr. with insane vulture micro in TvT? I also think that Iris deserves to be in the round of 16 because he has missed it so many times already.
If my predictions go well, here's what will happen :
W4 :
G1 : YellOw[Name] > ShinHwa @ Rush Hour lll
YellOw practiced Rush Hour lll ZvZ to beat July. Since he won't win he'll now face an unprepared ShinHwa and will win rather easily.
G2 : ShinHwa < Casy @ Peaks Of Baekdu
Even though Casy has been blowing lately, I doubt Casy would lose to ShinHwa on a very good TvZ map.
G3 : Casy < YellOw[Name] @ New Pioneering Age
YellOw[Name] showed some great skills against the Cheater Terran himself at ZvT on 815 lll. I consider New Pioneering Age to be more balanced and YellOw actually has a chance there. I also want him to smile like he did against oOv
