Who would have thought that a PiG could compete against a PuMa in a fight?

here's a bio on the two Aussie players since TL preview didnt do it

SEA MEN (Yes we exist)

PiG
PiG Qualified for IEM in spectacular fashion- 2-0ing Moonglade in the Upper Bracket FINAL . While a relatively unknown on the Global Level PiG has been a finalist in SEA comps since the release of SCII last year. Some may argue that players such as Moonglade, xGKing.Mafia. FXO.tGun and xGKing.Jazbas are overall stronger Zerg Players, no one denies the PiG’s ZvZ is quite possibly the best in SEA.

Unfortunately for PiG he has no Zergs in his group he faces Terrans YHY and PuMa and Protoss HasuObs, but PiG is fresh off a win in the WCG:Brisbane Qualifier is not doubt wanting to continue he’s success, the rest of this group better watch out PiG is in no way a walkover!

EDIT: We are getting mixed reports that Chinese Player: YHY may actually player Zerg, once he's race has been confirmed Ill update the group info accordingly

Iaguz

xGKing.Iaguz’s entry into IEM was somewhat different, having placed 3rd behind Moonglade in the Lower Bracket FINAL Iaguz thought he’d missed out once again on a major competition (he’s absence along with FXO.tGun from the Blizzard SEA/ANZ Invitationals was somewhat surprising). However Due to WCG: Australia and Blizzcon Globals falling in subsequent weeks Glade decided to forfeit he’s place in IEM.

The story goes like this, We were all at dinner celebrating after Blizzard SEA invitationals Glade calls to Iaguz from across the table “Hey Iaguz how would you like to go to China” to which Iaguz replied “%^$ Yeah, thanks man”.

Iaguz is well known among SEA and has been Dubbed “The Gimli Terran” for his striking resemblance to the LotR’s character, As the nickname suggests he plays Terran and has been one of the most consistent performers of his race in SEA tournaments since the games release. He recently joined as a founding member of a new Pro team to emerge in SEA “Xeria Gaming” arguably the strongest SEA player based pro team at the moment.

Iaguz is in a Group with two Terrans- Strelok and Way and Zerg Player- RevivaL, while he is critical of his own TvT it is by no means still terrifying to play, his team mates xGKing.Mafia (3rd place @ Blizzard SEA/ANZ Invitational) and xGKing.Mafia (2nd place @ Blizzard SEA/ANZ Invitational) assure me his TvZ is well up to scratch. Iaguz has been given this chance to so the world what SEA is made of, he will not take this opportunity lightly!
