after Moonglades MLG performance, along with my insistance that Nerchio is solid Code S material, it has to be group H. Korean Champion Creator and the best NA player, Scarlett rounding out the group. Definitely the sickest group

Although i think E has the overall best quality, i think the top 2 is quite predictable, whereas group H is very hard to tell. Anyone in group H can make it out given. Also interesting how group H is probably 3rd 4th and 5th best foreigner zergs, all in one group.

C, F and H all seem harder than E.

You guys just wait until Grubby Weibo's about it, and HuK activates the inner 14-yo...

F is by far the group of death can't believe it's doing so bad... Major and Titan are tip top foreigners. Besides Stephano and Nerchio I'd call them about equal or better than any other foreigner here. Curious is the 2nd or 3rd best player (Rain 1st Parting/Curious 2nd and 3rd) here and then the last player is the kespa herO who is the 5th probably the 5th best player here behind those 3 and Creator.

The worst thing about group E, if you go through as second place you will face Rain in the Ro16....

Stephano will not get out of group play. zvz is his worst match-up, so he will loose against RorO, and Hero will all-inn him 3 times and he will loose in 2 of them. Called it

G and B are unfair. There is no way that the groups should be that imbalanced in terms of player skill. They are just so much better than the competition. Oh wait...

We need to accept the fact that this polls were always popularity contests.I think H is group of death.

Mafia has a good shot with his good ZvP and only having to practise the one matchup, but as we've all seen Rain is just a beast and BabyKnight is Mr. Consistant so who knows. GLHF everyone.

Before the tournament has even begun, there are as many if not more Zergs in the Ro16 as there are Terrans.

The lineup doesn't really represent "the world" well in the finals :/

Except for Idra, E is looking very stacked.

my group predictions
A: Parting, Illusion
B:Vortix, suppy
C:Grubby, Sen
D:Rain, Babyknight
E: Stephano, Idra (such a hard group to pick because you can swap out players so easily, but going with the popular guys/ my favorite team in esports :D)
F:Curious, Major
G: Lucifron, Lowely
H:Nerchio, Scarlett

Looks like fun!
