how is pool c so far down there? that is one beastly ass group. i don't think group A is THE death group. got strong players, but i'd say mostly c, and d are stacked. you guys be undermining players >_<

DRG will win that group. TLO and SeleCT haven't won a total of 3 sets in the last two MLG's during Group Stages. It's not undermining players if they perform horribly. Plus, out of CoCa, NaDa, Bomber, and TesteR, I think that TesteR may be the weakest Korean Invite. NaDa and Bomber both are fantastic players who I would definitely say are stronger then TesteR, and CoCa recently got traded to SlayerS so he has plenty of practice partners to make his lacking match-ups better (ZvT and ZvZ). CoCa has some of the best ZvP in the world, so I wouldn't be surprised to see him beat HuK and NaNiwa. TesteR is a great player, but he isn't as scary as other Koreans at the event. Then the last person is Slush, who's great, but isn't scary. I mean some of his games were really interesting to watch (I don't play Zerg, but I really liked his double Roach Warrens for both claws and speed really fast), but Pool C is far from the scariest.

Groups in order from easiest to hardest:
C: Slush, Select, TLO, DRG, Tester
D:Kiwi, Ret, Sheth, Moonan, Nada
A:Nani, Huk, Inc, Rain, Coca
B: Idra, Sjow, Haypro, Machine, Bomber
HAYPRO BONJWA FIGHTING :D

select just won NA bnet invitational. Slush beasts through MLG time and time again. DRG is top 3 zerg in world (imo) TLO is a bit of a toss up, but is definitely capable... and has been in a pro house. idk, tester is korean, probably not the best. Also, you just called haypro a bonjwa and i think he would even agree that's disrespectful. That is really the biggest reason i can't respect your opinion. stop trying to ruin this sacred word!!! GAAAHHH!

Pool A seems most competetive, but the most dangerous players are DRG and bomber.

CoCa is a better player than IdrA, pool A.

A and then C. I hope TLO's injury doesn't affect him at all and group C will be so strong.

Pool D takes it:
Two of three best foreigner zergs + 2 Koreans one of which is freaking Nada. In addition Kiwi might take a game or two to mix up things. Seems like the least predictable group.

Pool A is a close second:
Nani, Huk, Rain and Coca can all take games from each other. Unfortunately, I see Incontrol being swept by everyone.

Pool C has the potential for an "upset":
DRG is the clear favorite. Tester and Select in top form compete for second place and might even upset DRG. Slush has been performing incredibly well the last few MLGs and TLO is always a threat, but I guess they will be the last ones in their group.

Pool B is plain boring...
Anything other than Bomber 1st and Idra 2nd would be a huge surprise. The other three will be battling it out for 3rd place with Sjow having the best chances imo.

Incontrol better be training his ass off... pretty soon he's not going to get the cushion of starting in pools.

Well, I think that Pool B is really scary, namely because of Bomber, IdrA, and Sjow. Those guys are really beastly and I think that they will be close contenders.

A takes it, If bomber was in D I would have chosen D, DRG would be another zerg and ZvZ can be a toss up, but he would have still been favorite.

Select DRG and Tester. Those are some sick players Tester has kind of gone down hill, but he's still code S in up and downs mind you but that might make him motivated.
TLO " Well Sjow, it's almost the same prize for 2nd place " Sjow " I know, but it's more about the honor... -_- " TLO " All I care about is the honor "

Group A is a beast. Every group is scary. Every MLG is better then the last. Can't wait for the weekend.

Voted A like many but it was a mistake..

after looking I noticed group C which is BEASTLY
, DRG - TLO (Coming strongly(!) back after carpal syndrome) TESTER, SLUSH, AND SELECT WHO FINALLY have some momentum to show of his full potential, This group is by FAAR the hardest group where everyone is determined to win



Idra just going to dominate his group :I
Good luck have fun! - Except if its ZvZ Then you can burn in hell :D

These are actually pretty well balanced groups.


Have they fixed the messed-up seeding after pool play so we don't get the same people playing each other again?
