Looks good for MMA. maybe violet could do it since he only went down 1-2 to MMA in GSL
|
Demuslim got a particularly tough group, will be very tough for anyone to advance from that one. mOOnGLaDe has a good shot at advancing and hopefully PiG can play well too :D
|
Good groups, looking forward to it. Player pool is decent, there is an Open Bracket with reportedly some big names attending, looks like this IEM season will be better than the previous ones.
Now if they didn't use Tal'darim in the map pool, it could be even better.

PiG and Moonglade! AUS represent! They are both playing really well too currently, I hope they go well. Seeing PiG beat BoongBoong on ladder in a best of 3 was a bit of an eye opener, hopefully SEA can finally take on the world a bit.

Come on MMA bring slayers back into glory!!!!

Damn, I had higher hopes for the quality of players. There are some good players here for sure, but overall I don't feel the skill level is where it should be for such a premiere tournament. Heres to hoping some sick players comes through the open brackets.
|
How is the open bracket only 32 players? Don't these things usually get 100+?
