Boxer, MMA, DongRaeGu and IMMVP will be in the groups at mlg.
The good news: no Protoss
The bad news: They are all pretty good. but ZvT is Idras best matchup, so no worry

Why wouldnt they send a protoss? source?

Boxer has beat Idra on many occasions with his cheesy 2 rax openings, I only hope Idra will be ready for it.

IdrA's to do list: Make more than 3 infestors, and don't let them die after using their fungal.
Defend 50 2 rax' everyday leading up to Anaheim.
Start mining 30 seconds after his opponent to get better at catching up.
Do something else than the roach ling all in.
Have a terran siege line outside his base for 10 minutes without attacking.

....

I'm boooored you gaaaaiiiiisss

I think Boxer beat idra only in the 2 games in the nasl. I think Idra won the other matches from last year.
I'm sure Idra got this (unless he scouts late against him. But I'm sure he knows that).

Don't forget cannon rushes and bunker contains. But terran seige lines also covers the bunker contain I think. Idra should just try out new styles and make sure he loses to crappy stuff less.

IdrA pulled possibly the easiest MLG anaheim group he could hope for

1. IdrA 0-0 0-0
2. iNcontr 0-0 0-0
3. SjoW 0-0 0-0
4. Sheth 0-0 0-0
5. BoxeR 0-0 0-0
6. Second seeded undefeated open bracket player 0-0 0-0

Boxer and IdrA hopefully make it :D

They all make it no matter what, its just the winner of the group goes into the winners bracket, and second place on go into losers bracket with seeding depending on place they place in their group.

MLG predictions

Incontrol should be a win, Incontrol's mechanics aren't on par with Idra's and I doubt Incontrol will take it to the late game unless he is 100% sure he can either go mass blink stalker or Colossus Stalker Templar. So I expect some Cannon rushes and proxy pylon shenanigans in Idra's match v him

Against SjoW I reckon Idra will overwhelm him with his shear ability to multitask and force Sjow to up his APM to an unconfortable level and just melt his brain, although I at some point I bet Sjow does some Cloaked Banshees

Sheth's ZvZ isn't on level with Idra's I think, the showmatch still stands about how he got cleaned up without trying. Korea may have improved Sheth's ZvZ but once again I think Idra will just outplay him, assuming he gets past the early game.

I'd love Boxer to do well, but I don't think he will. Idra will hold off the 2 rax The emperor will cheese Idra holds and crushes him. Boxer tries a macro game but he's not the best at his macroing so he falls behind and just gets outmassed and Idra'd

And I bet the bracket player in his group will be SlayerS_Alicia.
