Didn't Zenio just play in the GSL a couple of nights ago? He will have some mighty jet lag.

So happy the groups aren't being played at the same time as I first assumed, would've been very difficult to choose between them.

Major day of SC2 tomorrow! Gonna be so good. Hopefully Keen will get 2 quick wins in the GSL before this starts and will probably have MVP quickly beating Zenex in the KSL in the background.

MMA in group C right? Hard to see him losing to anyone at this tournament.

MMA is a god in TvZ and TvT but his TvP is 75% one base all in's and most of the other potential winners of this tournament are Protoss.

He will probably win it but I'm not as confident as if we had Zergs/Terrans instead of Naniwa and Hero.

Gonna be lots of PvPs so its hard to see which protoss will rise to the top, but I'm hoping at least Hero or WhiteRa gets a good shot at knocking out MMA. Yea I'm rooting for the underdog

Lack of Zerg presence disappoints me. Where's Nerchio and Stephano?

MMA's TvP at International events is statistically his best match-up :D

Titan is really good in PvP the last few month and his PvT don´t seem to be bad with wins against Kas, DieStar and Supernova. I think in this group he might advance, won´t be suprised. My second pick is Naniwa, after such a long time in Korea and not participating in other tourney, quite sure he´s a monster.

Group B I don´t want to decide, everyone so likeable. Don´t want anyone to be kicked out Just look at them

The beauty of IEM is that it's all qualifiers aside from Koreans. Stephano and Nerchio aren't there because either they lost in the qualifiers or chose not to participate.

If someone isn't a Titan fan yet, watch his interview:

He is really talented and motivated, currently rank 1 on EU with 77% win rate. I hope him and NightEnD will do well at this event

I'm slightly disappointed Znow won't be there, as I feel he really could have impressed (especially against a tournament stacked with Protoss).

Still, can't wait to see some great games! I'll probably tune in for the LoL as well.

White Ra replaced Killer, Killer had visa issues.

Groups are 4 players.

dKilleR was the last spot in that group, but was unable to attend due to visa issues, so White-Ra is filling in.

A Protoss will win this,, most likely.. A Protoss Or MMA
We promise with a view to hope, but the reason to "accomplish" what we promised would be fear.
