Don't say it's realistic either. There's already been many upsets in the group stage and there's probably a few still left. If you want my guess, I'd say atleast one of Gumiho, Leenock and CoCa bust out in the first round, and one of Hyun and JD. | ||

Also, just a small thing that's been bugging me, but "quarterfinals" is spelled incorrectly on the bottom of the Liquipedia page for this tournament. | ||

It's kind of a worst case scenario for foreigners, but it's certainly not unrealistic. My money would be on a 4/4 split between foreigners and Koreans in ro8. | ||

I can see SaSe beating HyuN; I can see Stephano taking out CoCa; HuK has a slim chance against Gumiho. The rest however I'd say are big dogs. | ||

I like gumiho and leenock, but that finals would be horrendous. We have the gSL to watch for those matches. it'd be such a let-down and boner kill for these guys to come all this way just to lose in the ro16. edit: and yeah, these gaping holes in tournament formats are getting quite old. It's 2013 and we still have a bo3 bracket and coin flips. Can't get much more retarded. At least we have a good ro16 player pool, or it would be a total laughable disaster. | ||

I disagree, I wanna see the koreans lose 0 games to foreigners, but that's just me haha | ||

They have a lot of games to run and a limited amount of time to run them in. They can't do every game bo37 and they can't do endless tiebreakers. Seriously, "laughable disaster"? Wow. | ||
