WCS Europe Premier Round of 32 Predictions (Group A)

It's that time again folks, where we peer into Aligulac's crystal ball and look into the future.  Europe followed the predictive trends in season one closely, but Aligulac was only 9-7 in the Challenger matches and given the current map pool and the glory of swarm hosts there could be some upsets tomorrow.

 Welmu
 Nerchio
 Stephano
 DeMuslim

Aligulac projects the order above and at least with DeMuslim I agree wholeheartedly; Welmu has struggled with PvP of late, but there are no Protoss here and against fellow foreigners in non-mirrors he's been very good; Nerchio's largely beat Polish and middling foreigners of late, so his results aren't helpful, while Stephano's most impressive feat was beating Starbuck...who largely beat himself in their match.  I'll stick with this order, although I feel very uncertain about where Nerchio's level of play is at right now.  I'd love for another 2-3 hour swarm host vs swarm host game to nudge Blizzard in the right direction, but there's no way Nerchio will sit back and allow that to happen.
