Alas, it is. And Hots is far less balanced than WoL currently. Also, we dont know who practiced how much Hots. | ||

personally i am hoping 2-3 players drop out and they offer MKP a spot (he's 10 points away) :p far-fetched, but possible! | ||

Group B: MC/First/Kas - potential upset: Symbol starts to win ZvZs and again and finally manages to straighten out his 2-6 record against Kas/Kas hasn't practiced HotS enough/Ret decides not to play badly/Xlord overcomes balance Group C: Sting/viOlet/Snute - potential ways this won't come true: VortiX can win ZvPs again and not only ZvZs/ MaNa can win PvZs if he doesn't face Bly/Socke plays better than I expect him to/Zerg sucks even more than everyone says Group D: Dream/Mvp/Stephano - potential ways my plans are foiled: Grubby can suddenly beat Stephano with his new HotS powers/Golden plays 10000x better than in Katowice/TLO manages to somehow win games/Stephano has too little HotS training due to Proleague/GSL or gets drunk on his flight and the day after | ||

Group B: Symbol, MC, First. Symbol is arguably the best player in this group, and he has beaten MC in the past decisively. MC is just better than First result-wise, and First hasn't really been the same after IEM. Group C: viOLet, VortiX, Sting. I would say viOLet is the best player in the group, and VortiX is consistent and strong. Sting will end up tightroping this. Group D: Stephano, Dream, Golden. Should be an easy group for Stephano because no one is really scarier than him. Dream is a damn good player, and Golden has shown some good play occasionally. Sorry Mvp, but I don't think you are going past this one. | ||

Guessing time! A: PartinG, YongHwa, LucifroN, Nerchio, HasuObs, sLivKo. B: First, Kas, MC, Symbol, XlorD, Ret. C: viOLet, VortiX, MaNa, Socke, Sting, Snute. D: Stephano, Dream, TLO, Grubby, Mvp, Golden. This is based purely on WoL speculation, as well as assuming Mvp is still injured. If he isn't though... | ||

Group B: First, Kas, MC/ret: If MC gets further in GSL he won't make it through and It'll be one of the zergs since the rest of the groups are zerg(in which case I believe ret is the stronger of them in this group). If he loses to RoRo which I think he will, he will make it through. He will do it with a bunch of 2 base all-ins like he used to play all the time in 2011 and will just incorporate the mothership core making it even stronger than before. Again. I am assuming that they're all playing a lot of HOTS except MC. Group C: Sting, Violet, Mana: Sting is so strong and will destroy this group easily. I'm actually picking violet over socke because violet's a baller and I feel he is a much stronger player than the others. Group D: MVP, Dream, Grubby: Again, It's incredibly hard to pick a zergs beating any of these players. Unfortuantely I do have some zerg bias but it is known that zerg is weaker in HOTS(at least for now until people start figuring things out more). So when looking at the groups, I just find it hard to see them winning at such a high level of play. | ||

Today we had to announce a replacement for the Intel Extreme Masters World Championship. Since Symbol advanced to the Ro4 in the GSL Code S, he informed us that he would not participate. His replacement will be the next in line player from the season ranking. YoDa. We have also released our schedule for the event - http://www.esl-world.net/masters/season7/hannover/news/215528/ If you have any questions, always feel free to message this account here on TL or ask on Twitter at @IEM Have a great weekend! | ||
