A is so much harder than D. Just because D has Idra makes its the group of death?

It's more DongRaeGu, SuperNoVa and Kas, I think, but imho they are pretty close, maybe a slight edge to Group A.

Id say group C is deceptively deadly. Its not like group A where there is a complete allstar that is going take it (cough MMA), its just that everyone in that group is a badass.

Excited to see how PuMa does in this group as well as Assembly. I have a feeling the podium will be loaded with Koreans much like last years IEM finals. Hope that they announce the tandem of Day9 and Rotterdam again for this event. It was definately one of the wildest events to watch in 2011.

Many of the top swedes are now playing in Korea or are staples of MLG so I think its not that big of a deal.
IMO practicing/competing in Korea > IEM
Its extremely difficult to compete in MLG AND IEM at the same time.

Cant wait to see how good/bad Fruitdealer plays. It would be so awesome if he wins this tournament =)

Interested in seeing how PuMa will do considering there is only 2 Protoss in his group, he will probably get like 3rd in his group after DIMAGA and Zenio since 1/1/1 against Zerg is pretty hard to pull off, but PuMa can do it since that's the only strategy he's been using since he started playing, I think he knows how to execute it well enough that he can use it and beat Zergs and Terrans.
If I tell you the truth you'll vie for a lie. If I spilt my guts, it would make a mess we can't clean up. Say you'll never leave me 'cause I need you so much. I can't live with myself so stay with me tonight.
