If it wasn't for the Swedish protosses lucifron could all kill but sase is way too strong at PvT and naniwa is very good at it as well to be taken down together especially considering that quantic are probably focusing on him, on the other hand vortix could pull off the snipes given their struggles with PvZ but quantic could just send illusion to take out vortix and then karont3 would be in trouble. Or perhaps this will be Spain's chance to show a new big player from the other 3 who knows but quantic's a definite safe bet.

It is also important to keep in mind that AlaStOr is a very good zerg player. He is currently #11 on the EU ladder; I'm sure he's capable of defeating several of the players in the Quantic roster.

Karont3 is surprisingly strong, MikOeL was also a good BW player, so he can't be underestimated. I think though, this'll come down to LucifroN and whether or not Quantic has SaSe and NaNiwa ready.
Karont3 has remained a big mistery to me until know. Apart from LuciroN and VortiX, I've basically seen nobody of their players play. Hopefully this will be an interesting matchup.

So that's 4 of the 5 accounted for, does anyone know anything on lolvsxd?

Can't exactly remember details, but the only game I saw him play so far (IPL Qualifier #2 broadcast vs GoSuKingdom), he played absolutely terrible, I can recall that much.
With an All-Kill format, Lucifron will be very dominant. I feel that Naniwa and Sase are the only ones in the Quantic lineup who have a realistic chance of taking him down. Should be very interesting to see both Lucifron and, maybe even more so, his brother Vortix play in this type of competition.
If Quantic doesnt field Sase and Naniwa, they don't have a top quality roster either. If Karont3 get 1 lucky win from their bottom 3, 1-2 from vortix, 2-3 from lucifron, would be enough.
Quantic is still the favourite ofc, especially with their swedes. Hoping for an exciting match.
