Group A is brutal.
Group B is, too!

Remember that it's not "top 2 advance" or anything like that, it's "winner of each group gets a fast track to the finals and everyone else is comparatively screwed."

MLG's Format

Really pumped for MLG! Sucks not to see TT1,Morrow, Huk and Jinro to because of GSL WC tho.

Tyler looks sick lately he'll be tough to beat!

A and B definitely look like the groups of death.

I saw on the mlg forums that Halo players are getting intro music like a wrestler or baseball player has, I think it would be a cool idea if SC players do too.

Yeah all of these brackets are stacked and even though they are a few players favored per bracket I can't call them.

lol wow Idra's got a tough group. I think Kiwi/socke/Idra any 2 of them can take it.

B's pretty gross looking too. Damn should be a great MLG

Poor Gretorp. I love the man. But he is definitely the underdog in that group

Poor IdrA, hates playing Protoss and gets stuck with two of the best foreign P's.

Painuser needs to all kill teamliquid without Jinro here. Too bad none of his games are scheduled to be streamed, but we still get some incontrol vs TLO.
A- IdrA(Z) vs. Sockeh(P) 5:30
B- SeleCT(T) vs. Sjow(T) 6:30
D- Tyler(P) vs. Machine(Z) 7:30
B- SeleCT(T) vs. Ret(Z) 8:30
A- IdrA(Z) vs. Gretorp(T) 9:30
C- iNcontrol(P) vs. TLO(R) 10:30
Is the announced stream schedule with Day(9), ItmeJP,and DjWheat on casting duty

holy shit epic groups are epic

Pool A
(1) Root.KiWiKaKi(P)
(8) EG.IdrA(Z)

two obvious favorites, socke COULD take it but i think kiwi's pvp is too good and idra is clearly favorited here

Pool B
(2) dignitas.SeleCT(T)
(10) LiquidRet(Z)

Another insanely close group, could be any of 4, but i feel like Sjow been in slight slump recently, think select + ret will come out on top

Pool C
(3) LG.PainUser(T)
(11) LiquidTLO(R)

Pretty solid group as well, think incontrol and slush COULD have a chance of taking it, but these 2 seem most likely to win their group

Pool D
(5) LiquidTyler(P)
(12) Agh_Antec(P)

Tyler obviously been preparing for this event and I would be surprised if he didnt get out... but Agh is a beast that always seems to be overlooked... i really think he can take top2 in this group

edit: just read top2 dont make it... so i'd say the finals of each group will be ^ predictions

There is also a 1 more player not included that is to be decided from the open bracket if I remember correctly, could op be edited this could could make some groups more deadlier.

That can't be right...incontrol and machine are in different groups. You must have made some kind of a mistake.

I know Kiwi's PvP is good and all, but I'm baffled that so many people pick him as a favourite over Socke despite the fact Socke has taken down Huk and Tyler in PvP at Assembly recently, gone 4-2 vs Squirtle at IEM, and took down the JTV invitational last weekend including more impressive PvP series when he went a total of 6-2 vs Attero.
