unfortunately, there is a 10 to 1 chance he will be kicked out by a zerg early on. if he gets lucky and reaches boxer in the finals, he actualy has a chance of winning!! at least he has better pvt than anytime.
rock is a definition of a mediocre player, allways wins a few rounds, but never quite has what it takes to be a champion. bisu is a joke nowdays, he tends to get raped by completely unknown players. that might be cuz he underestimates them, and there might be more of a chance for him to make an upset, than to win a "sure thing", but i doubt it. as for anytime, it depends wich opponents he gets during the rounds, if he gets a lot of toss opponents, he will get far, but he also seems to lose to underdogs a lot since he won that mouse thingy last year.
Are you confusing TT and bisu? TT is not a "young player"...he's 21 by our standard. Bisu on the other hand is something like 16 or 17, which makes me wonder how you can say bisu is a joke "nowadays" since he doesn't have a really long history as a progamer.
I don't think a toss can win it, but I'm quite confident in saying that Rock will make it the deepest in the tournament out of all the tosses in it so far.
Anytime is in one of the worst groups of death ever (not that the other tosses have it easy), and the other 2 are new. And to Rock's credit, he is a constant qualifier and has played many good games throughout his OSL career.

What???
This post is full of misinformation!
1.) TT is best known for his PvZ.
2.) Since when is TT young? He's 21 I think? And he's been a progamer for years.
3.) How can he face Boxer in the finals? Boxer DID NOT QUALIFY.
4.) His PvT is not better than Anytime's. What, did you watch 1 rep of each of them and comapre or something?
5.) Rock is the definition of a mediocre player? No. He's not a champion, but he's not mediocre. The mediocre ones are the ones who consistently fail to qualify for OSL/MSL. Rock has been known pull of surprise wins on good players (cough July, cough Gorush).
6.) Bisu not doing well anymore? Bisu has only been progamer for 1 year. Getting raped by unknown players????? Uhhhhhh....who exactly are you talking about?
7.) Anytime doesn't lose to underdogs. He gets beaten a lot by stronger players. Anytime is not a sucky player, but he's not a fantastic player. He has a fairly extensive professional record that is 58-59, just under 50% wins. His records in PvT, PvP and PvZ are all about even wins/losses, though most people consider him a PvT monster. (He has a slight winning record against Terran and a slight losing record against Zerg with an even record against Protoss, but in terms of difficulty of opponents, his PvP and PvT outshine his PvZ, where his opponents are generally weaker.)
8.) Anytime did not win the golden mouse. You need 3 OSL wins to earn it, and Anytime has exactly 1 win in OSL. Anytime blocked Boxer from earning the mouse when he won SO 1 OSL.
I voted Bisu. Something about him just really impresses me. Not just his macro and control (otherwise I'd vote Anytime), but his ability to control the flow of the game. That's the mark of a champion.
Anytime doesn't impress me so much. He had a good run, but he's not the uber monster people think he is, and it's not his PvZ that holds him back. It's his game sense that holds him back. He is really good about analyzing maps and developing strategies and he has good macro and good control, but he doesn't have the greatest sense for timing or what his opponent is doing. He makes up for his lack of this 6th sense by practicing really hard to workout the timings of his build orders very precisely.
Guys like Savior and Midas have much better timing sense. If you watch them play, they can use the same builds everyone else uses but since they have better timing sense, their attacks are more effective and their macro is slightly stronger, and other people aren't able to immitate it so easily even though it is a "standard" style of play.
