WC6 standings speculation and comments

[8-ball]

Who do you expect the overall top 5 to be in the end now after a couple events have passed?
Who are you surprised to see high in standings in a certain event or overall?
Who did you expect to do better?
Who do you expect to lower their commitment or drop out completely eventually?
Who do you expect to step up their game?

We can probably answer these after every event, would be interesting to see how answers change

I'll start.

Who do you expect the overall top 5 to be in the end now after a couple events have passed? Kazan, Zweq, Spef, Bjenn, Zero
Who are you surprised to see high in standings in a certain event or overall? AKB has been the biggest surprise for me, along with my teammate culinko
Who did you expect to do better? talli, adi, MP and team FM
Who do you expect to lower their commitment or drop out completely eventually? from those among the top, probably Zweq and maybe Zero
Who do you expect to step up their game? adi, talli, team MAN

Now we have 3 different winners in 3 events. That's pretty nice. On the other hand I expect these 3 guys to win possibly even all the rest events. I wonder who are the most probable guys to make that not happen. Here's my top 10:

1) FinMan, an obv candidate
2) adi, he lost his most likely best chance to win at the last event but the pipe event is coming. and ofc he can do it in other events too
3) Bjenn, he is committed and already been close at the 1st event
4) Madness, he hasn't played that much but when he has time and SPEED has good styles he can do it
5) hehe, very committed and can win
6) Zero, also an obv candidate, but he definitely should play more
7) GRob, he hasn't sent in, but been playing, so when he finds a lev he likes and has time to play, he can do it
Pab, obv pipe event winner candidate
9) talli, he has been playing VERY little but maybe if some level interests him he could hoyl it enough to win
10) Mielz, if he does a comeback

The ordering is rough and it has largely been affected by the commitment of the players.

Hmm, maybe it's polite to answer to the original questions too instead of just invading the topic with my discussion (thought this is the best topic for this post).
