Yeah because thats what matters right?

Anyway, I expect Huk to defend his title. Hes finally had a chance to relax and return to his practice regime.

I like how everyone points out that Huk is wearing the Liquid shirt, but they overlook the fact that Rain is wearing a TSL jersey instead of a fnatic one.

Sick lineup, I can't remember which tournament I saw the bracket for but Lucifron tore up some really good players.

of course it matters. just like how fnatic wouldn't be happy with Rain in his TSL uniform.
Sponsors want their players advertising their brand not competitors'...

Hero has quickly become one of my favorite players. I love his playstyle so much. He seems to play like HuK but slightly more on the solid side... fewer cute tricks, but more powerful and calm micro overall. I really think Liquid`Hero has the framework to become one of the best players out there.

Shame about Infi not being able to make it. In all honesty he probably isn't all that great anyways (losing to Loner in the LG tournament). Honestly I wish it had been Boxer, July or Nada to replace him instead of Hero but oh well. Can't predict the results until a bracket comes out but in terms of player strength I would currently rank the 8 players

1. DRG
2. Huk
3. Naniwa
4. Hero
5. Thorzain
6. Rain
7. Idra
8. Lucifron

Difficult to sort them. Proven by the fact Idra is ranked 7th, even though he is still a beast.

Damn competition is fierce. Naniwa fighting!

Both Lucifron and Infi, I'm really going to look forward seeing what they can do. And on another note, GO HERO! LIQUID FIGHTING!

MC is the defending Champion (for Dreamhack Invitational atleast)

Hope LucifroN can prove the doubters wrong. His play in last weeks IEM qualifier made me an instant fan. He made look Stephano and Mana look like scrubs with solid macro play and insane multitasking/micro.

It is pretty hard to rank them. They appear in tiers for me...

DRG, HuK, Hero
Naniwa, Thorzain, Rain
Idra, Lucifron

I would be extremely surprised if anyone outside the top tier wins this competition, and I would be surprised if IdrA or Lucifron get past their first opponent.

DRG will probably take the tournament unless herO or mayyyyybe idra takes him out (drg hasn't been too impressive in these areas). herO and Rain I could see easily being defeated by thorzain, naniwa, or huk. So, good chance a foreigner will win it this time...I hope

Actually I just assumed Lucifron was still as nondescript as he usually was but after looking at his results this past month I'm not so sure. BoX wins over Nerchio, Stephano and Mana are nothing to scoff at. Honestly I could see people arguing for any combination for 2-8, only DRG has consistently proven himself to be above the rest.
