Starting day 3 with Zenio against SuperNoVa of which the winner will have to face MMA in the round of 8, we are bound to see two of potential winners dropping out in the early play-off stages. As expected, Group A was dominated by the Korean superhumans MMA, viOLet and JYP, despite Socke taking a close 4th. Had he lost one map less, he would've moved on to the round of 16 due to his win against JYP.
The Germans in general have been a huge surprise with both HasuObs and DarKFoRcE taking 3rd in their respective groups, putting on decent performances against top tier players.
The biggest surprise, however, should be the rise of Feast. Regarded as one of the best up-and-comers in the scene right now and being mentored by the famous Grubby, noone knew what to expect from the 18 year-old. He ultimately took out the likes of SuperNoVa, Kas and IdrA, only losing to DarKFoRcE in a very tight match.
In Group B we see elfi, the best Protoss in the world, making it to the round of 16, where he will have to face another Protoss, JYP, allowing elfi to play his strongest matchup, so we'll have to see how that goes.
Updated predictions: MMA vs. MC/Feast, in a match during which anything can happen.
