Hoping for a DK win, many viewers, good games and lots of grubby casts.

I expect Cloud 9 vs. DK finals, some other teams are good but are not in my opinion on the level of these two teams.

Damn that's a lot of money on the line. Feel sorry for Khaldor not being involved

Looking forward to some awesome games!

Judging from the last time Korea vs EU/NA happened (or Korea vs China a few months earlier), I expect this to be really one-sided. The Chinese teams might have stepped up their game (haven't seen them playing for quite some time, tbh); but from the EU/NA region I don't expect any competition for Team DK.

For the game as a whole, I just hope they'll get enough viewers for the game to gain some popularity. I'm still kinda worried about the scene as a whole and the Blizzcon should be a good opportunity for the scene to grow.

Expecting DK to dominate this. Probably against C9 in the finals though I don't know if these chinese teams improved lately.

Disappointing that MVP Black smashed the only other international tourney and didn't earn an invite from that win.

I feel like most of you are underestimating NaVi here...

I've already gone all-in on Dignitas, and Bakery knows it. Dignitas BlizzCon champions 2015, calling it now.

not sure who to bet on, since its a different meta clash. So the least open to public regions might put out a surprise. Don't expect that DK will be having an easy time as Teams have enough time to prepare now. I think DK won't make it out of the group, simply because everyone prepares just for beating them.
And then someone who didn't in group A will take the victory.

Like the Caster line up, they will do nicely. Still sad Blizzard keeps ignoring Khaldor though. He is the best Heroes caster out there and did so much for Heroes popularity in Europe.

Cheering for DK and hoping C9 could put on something incredible
