I don't know who will advance, Sting most likely and viOlet, too, but foreigners are too close to call.
VortiX probably has the best foreign ZvZ at the moment (at least in WoL) and he already excels at mutalisk play in ZvZ, so HotS might be good for him, too. On the other hand his ZvP was always relatively weak compared to his other matchups and he hasn't practiced HotS much at all, just like Snute and maybe MaNa.
Socke can be great but is the most inconsistent player in the group, since MaNa is consistently bad at ZvP while Socke had his very good moments.
My money is still on VortiX, actually it isn't on anyone since the group is very hard to predict, but if I had to bet, I'd probably pick VortiX.

GOGO Snute! Vortix seems to be Snute's hardest foreigner opponent, so going to be tough. No pushovers in this group, hard to predict who takes the top 3 places really.
Pretty early start btw. o_O Guess I have to skip classes.
imho, there are two big questionmarks in this group. 1st: Vortix. very strong lately, brilliant play...but had to play WoL and will not be prepared that well. How much will this effect his outcome? 2nd: viOLet, a korean with time to prepare, but his GSTL matches really not looking good. seems like he is just not "there" in HotS...maybe a chance for well trained Socke or a little lucky Snute to take him out. Or he just plays his A-game and crushes everything.
Also Mana and Snute, Socke normally inconsistent...many factors, difficult to tell anything in this group. only save thing seems Sting advancing. i think we will have a great, tense day of starcraft
1st: Sting: Had a lot of time to practice HotS and have seemed very strong lately
2nd: viOlet: Even though he looked a bit weak in GSTL, he is viOlet and had more than enough time to prepare.
3rd: Socke or Mana: Normally I would choose Snute or Vortix, but both the zergs prepared for this tournament thinking it was WoL, and their HotS matches have been way below their WoL level.

i always pronounced you were star-vuh, hehh
I don't really care and never thought about it, I just made up the name because it was free and I wanted a name pun on Startale for my Fantasy GSTL team. :D That's why the capitalization is there, so you could see the pun easier. I'm not a smart man.
