Squirtle and Naniwa should advance relatively easily imo, unless Naniwa spirals further downward.
All depends in what of kind of BM mood Naniwa is in but it's by far with ease this rounds Group of Death.
At round 2 it's considered unlucky to have 3 top-end pros in your group never mind all 4!
everytime Nightend is overlooked but he has beaten players such as naniwa, sase in pvp before and he has proven he can even beat players like taeja (when he was in good form) before
But he isn't in good form. I'd say he hasn't beaten a top 20/30 foreign player in a Bo3 after HotS release.

Some players that deserve Ro32 are going to be elminated unfortunately :/
I don't think we really have a "group of death" in any group. Some groups are harder, but no single group just makes you go "what the fuck". Hell, this is just the 2nd Group stage. We have yet another group stage after this
On a tangent, it's annoying how people throw around terms like "group of death" every single tournament. Isn't calling it "the hardest group" sufficient? We just had a group of death in the last WCS, now that was truly a "group of death". None of these groups come close. Throwing around these terms so loosely cheapens the meaning.

Yeah, I find it hard calling a group with a bunch of foreigners a "group of death." Especially in group stage #2. Meh. They can be close in skill and harder to predict who wins but it doesn't make it a group of death.

The organisation of that streaming is really shitty in that early group stage. I mean its Jaedong right? why wouldn't they stream him?
Well I think I should just don't care about dreamhack day 1.
they have to stream him on mainstream because he is Jaedong ? lmao
Who are you and what you are talking about?

thx. hope today I can catch some games.
All of the high profile Korean players just stomped nonames yesterday except for like one match which we saw on the main stage.

Agreed, I don't think he ever made it past the RO64 RO32 in the WCS open qualifiers. Him and Lowley just aren't as good as they were in HotS
I really really hope PiG does well, will be the best underdog story of the tournament.
*edit*
lol, so I actually quite liked that, however SH vs SH in ZvZ seems like the kind of thing that's really cool the first time you see it, and from then on you just want to blow your brains out. Still, good win for PiG.

SensationallyAwkward in group A?
