Dimaga, Zenio, Kas, Grubby fighting!

My Picks:
Group A
Strelok
NaNiwa

Group B
Grubby
Kas

Group C
HasuObs
MMA

Group D
DIMAGA
HerO

Only threat I can see to Naniwa would be MMA, maybe HerO & TitaN because of the PvP mu.

Ah shame with diginitas.KiLLeR damn Visa stuff... there was lots of ukrainians tho in the qualis (whitera, white, bly, ukrainestar) ..incase runnerup qualificants cant make that fast of a travel there which i doubt until tomorrow

In other news here is the time schedule..

And a tweetie bird said that TLO will maybe cast alongside Apollo (from off site), not sure if they're trolling

Any case i would find it a neat idea to have only your 2-3 main casters on site and kind of outsource additional coverage. thereby saving costs and casters' voices plus increasing number of games brought to the fans.

It's in Ukraine, so there are a bunch of possible people who could replace on very short notice.

White Ra, Bly who live in Ukraine.
Mana, Tarson, Nerchio from Poland
Depending on where in Russia they live, Bratok, Happy, LiveZerg, etc...
Even Lowely from Belarus

There's no one at MMA level at Kiev, he should take 1st easily. Altough I'd like to see a Liquid causing an upset. Zenio and Hero fighting!
What is up? IM NESTEAAAA!

So many toss players...
Very sad about the visa issue of killer. i was looking forward watching him develop further on the international scene.

Seems the level is gonna be very nice on this one! looking forward to it.
It's getting too hot.

MMA is definitely the big favourite. I still believe Naniwa will win though. Will be interesting to see if players like Grubby and Kas are able to compete for the tournament win.

Naniwas group got harder again. White Ra and Strelok instead of Killer and Beasty

Since MMA isn't known for his TvP, I think it isn't as easy as anyone thinks. There are a lot of great Protoss players in Kiev with strange styles that can get him. I do think he is in the easiest group, but never count out HasuObs and he probably doesn't know TargA and Pomi, maybe they have something special prepaired for them.

WhiteRa, Naniwa and TiTaN in Group A are all great Protosses that could take games from MMA. And then you have Grubby and NightEnd in group B together with Kas, the best EU Terran and Zenio who is a solid Zerg. Finally in Group D we have Dimaga who is scary for everyone and the Protosses Feast and HerO.

This is going to be 1 sick tournament and I expect at least 1 of the "Unknown" guys to get to the semi finals!

Predictions:

Group A:
Naniwa + TiTaN

Group B:
Kas + Grubby

Group C:
MMA + HasuObs

Group D:
Dimaga + Feast

His PvT and PvP are really good indeed. If he avoids Dimaga he has a shot at winning it ^^
