Just a hunch, but all the players are good but very toxic... hope they will be the "bad boys" of the season that can go high when they stick together.

Fnatic + Giants
Acer + lolpro
Copenhagen + aAa
MYM + somebody
Group D second team doesn't matter, they won't qualify unless sick bracket luck.
Fnatic, Acer, Copenhagen, MYM advance from "winner bracket"
Outside chance of lolpro winning vs acer.
Last spot is a toss-up between the three relevant teams imo. giants prob weakest of those, lolpro most likely advance.
Final 5: Fnatic, Acer, C.Wolves, MYM, lolpro

The NA qualifier was something like 8PM to 6AM for us in Europe.

I swear Fnatic better win but atleast place! I HAVE to see them in Season 3! (Even without Rekkless  )

Somehow, this tournament looks way more promising than the American LCS Qualifier. So many big names in this tournament.
Group A should be close, with favourites fnatic, chronically underperforming Alternate, always-not-quite-there GIANTS and wildcard Anexis. Fnatic should take the group, but any team could upset them. Second slot goes to Alternate, if they finally play up to their abilities, but as they'll probably choke again, Anexis will make it out.
Group B reunites five former Curse.EU players - two at Millenium, three at LoLPro. Millenium should take this group fairly easily, second slot is up for grabs - I don't know how good the teamplay between the LoLPro members is, considering the lineup is fairly new. Team Acer has former Na'Vi midlaner CitizenWayne, but no other internationally known players, and DragonBorns definitely have potential and even some LAN experience, but rarely seem to make use of those. I hope Acer makes it through as #2, just because I love seeing Wayne play.
Group C contains no big name, but a lot of up-and-coming teams. Copenhagen Wolves burst into the scene at Dreamhack Winter and had some good results afterwards (Northcon, THOR Open), but will have to play with a substitute as their mid laner (Bjergsen only turns seventeen mid February). aAa is a shadow of their former triumps and also lost their jungler, Linak (shouldn't be surprising to anyone following the European scene - it was only a question of time until Linak would finally get just desserts) to the banhammer recently. Mighty Midgets has some players with international experience (Moopz, SuperAze, 760) but haven't featured at international tournaments since DH Winter, and TCM is a total wild card. Wolves and the Mighty Midgets seem safe picks to advance, overall.
Group D should see MYM advance. Mouz lost their jungler to the banhammer and TeamSoloMebdi and EloHell have fairly unexperienced rosters. The second slot is up for grabs - if mouz gets a quality replacement though, they'll probably take the slot.

Holy christ, compared to the NA qualifier, from the outside this looks much more stacked with more long standing organizations.

Very good post. Gives a good, concise overview for those that dont know the EU scene very well.
I also feel like this qualifier is quite stacked and really close. I could name at least 8 teams that I would want to see in the LCS, with even more that have chances at grabbing a spot.

The mouz replacement is Naruterador afaik he should be good enough to at least be close to shooks level.
Group a:
As said one of the hardest groups my bet is:
fnatic/Giants but really hard to tell all 4 teams could make it
group b:
I think first place should be pretty easy to guess Millenium the second one is in my opinion up for grabs for acer is depends how good citizen plays, I didnt see him much in solo q recently so i guess that hes not training that much so I would go with Millenium/DB, just for good guy brokenshard
Group C:
I would go with Wolves and Moopz team after all what he is done Linak IS a top jungler, he is banned though so aaa loses a lot but its really really hard for me to judge the strength of the teams.
Group D:
I have to sadly say I think yamatos team will advance, probably MYM/teamsolomebdi but I seriously hope not Maybe mouz can advance depends how much they train with their new jungler(and you never know what happens it seriously wouldnt surprise me if they are unable to attend because some people have to go to the hospital)
