Definitely between Group D and B for Group of Death, but I'm giving a slight edge to D. Really looking forward to the amazing games that will come.

ok i just did, it clearly says 6 qualified and 10 were invited, koreans and chinese cant even try to qualify im assuming because latency would be too bad so it would make sense to invite them, so my question still stands.

i dont really care if theres no koreans or chinese i was just wondering, sorry if i sounded like a dick

they said they invited some asian players but their teams wouldn't pay for the trip so they had to decline.

Great groups, group D = group of Death in my opinion.
Awesome casters, Day[9] and d.Appollo will be epic.

Yes this is completely different. For most part this IEM is just for entertainment but with prize money awarded to the players and also a spot to the Global final for the winner. These invites are based on beta results and popularity because there was not enough time for them to hold multiple qualifiers. IEM America, Europe and Asia are the qualifiers players will have to go through for a spot at the Globals.

A is the toughest right now, C would be the toughest if everyone in it was at 100%, have a suspicion D will be the toughest though.

I presume half-final will be BO5 and final BO5 or BO7?
