Hmmmmmm, tough choice! Grrrr owned WCG Canada so easily and I'd like to see him do well but I'm not sure he's quite in the same class as Naz, Boxer and Yellow. I've haven't seen enough replays of Yellow to be that sure about him and I think Boxer will have lost a bit of confidence after playing Reach so my money (if I had any :p) would be on Nazgul

. Go Naz!

As an aside, anyone got any decent replays of Yellow as 90% of Yellow replays I've found have been soooooo fake.

It would be nice to see naz winning, but he's going to have a hard time against those korean zergs and terrans. I really hope/expect he's going to make the top 5 again, but my pick goes to the boxer. ^.^ Those koreans have so much experience ;P

on those maps i believe a terran player will win.
so u got boxer elky froz and oddy.
boxer owns elky.
froz will lose to zergs early.
oddy will lose to yellow, boxer or elky once he comes out of his group.

I think a zerg player may win it this year based on the maps. Yellow or the new-and-improved Junwi have a shot. Blackman's said to be excellent, but don't think he compares favorably to the best zerg players from Korea. Boxer will ALWAYS be a contender in Big Games. Watch for the guy in the finals.

Dream Final: Boxer v Nazgul. Man, talk about breaking onto the scene in style. Nazgul would be the talk of the town if he pulls it off.

Im Kinda sad to See so few votes for Elky and Odd. Elky and Odd have clearly show themself to be better gamers then Froz and Grrr(of late anyway).I know all Us USA and cannda want to see Froz and Grrr win But its Who do you THINK will win. Not who do you WANT to win. You cant realy beleave Froz or Grrr could win can you?

I think Boxer will win, he's the type of player who comes back more focused after a defeat. I don't think his loss to Reach shook him, more than it refocused him. Of course, we'll see won't we? For example if you look at the Boxer vs Nazgul reps on the site, Nazgul wins the first two matches but Boxer just rips up the next three games coming with three different strategies. No offense Naz

Well it would be a pretty goddamned boring poll if we voted who we thought was most likely to win, everyone would vote for a handful of players.
The fact is that every gamer there has a shot at winning it so I think ill let my own sentiment creep in when making that call.

let's look at the maps.

jungle.
z > t (by alot)
z > p
t >= p (drop = strong or very strong depending on spots)
zerg and terran map with z raping t.

valhalla.
p > z
p = t
t > z
protoss map, with t being playable and z being unplayable.

legacy.
z > p
z > t
t > p
zerg map with terran raping protoss due to excellent tank coverage and short push. tvz is playable on this but not by much.

temple.
t >= p (spots are very important)
z >= t (z12 = VERY bad)
z > p
it's temple.
