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!
give me MarineKing! :3

These groups look sick. I am REALLY looking forward to this event B-)

Being a hugh viOLet fan, I'm pretty happy with those groups.
|
My predictions: Group A: 1. Parting 2. Yonghwa 3. Nerchio Group B: 1. MC 2. First 3. Kas Group C: 1. Violet 2. Sting 3. Vortix Group D: 1. Dream 2. Stephano 3. Golden

Dream or possibly Lucifron to win it all.
|
Since they will play the awesome balanced Hots...i guess there will be almost no Zerg who makes it out of his group. And...i forsee a Protoss to win it all. I would like to see Grubby getting his first Victory *yeah...eat an almighty Toss All-In Stephano*, but i guess it will be MC or Parting.

I thought hots beta was shutting down on march 1st? unless they're allowing for special exception for iem

I think the public beta is shutting down. They will probably still give the pros access on a special server since it wouldn't make sense to have pro players not being able to practice for 10 days..

thats what happens - there will be hots practice possible in the IEM area

i don't like groups of six, too much randomness will come into play when scores will even out. Groups of 4 sound much better.

Everything but a Protoss as the winner would be a surprise, I'd agree there. The balance just doesn't seem to be incredibly good right now, considering the latest results in HotS... Dunno if it's a good idea to hold a HotS tournament so soon :-?

Korean racial distribution is 4P - 3Z - 3T... and thats what will actually matter for the playoffs. maybe +stephano You can count Lucifron.... hes Code S level
VortiX too

Stephano is in the U&D and you think Lucifron is Code S? Anyways exciting event, looking forward to watching meta develop in HoTS. Will this tournament have a Fruitdealer winning?
LucifroN has definitely proved he is better than Stephano lately
