Definitely think the groups are pretty well-balanced. Not too many where I think two players will obviously come out on top and that's that (except maybe that MVP group......). Really excited for Groups A, E, H though. Love to see Naniwa / Sase / MMA play, especially with such solid players in the groups. Also, having seen SortOf and Mana play, I definitely think H is the toughest group. I'd say Feast also a possibility of winning the group having seen him play (relatively) consistently in the qualifiers and other matches. | ||

If the players are able to beat people like MMA and MVP, then I think that would give a lot of European players more enthusiasm for it? Or something like that. Eh, who knows, probably won't happen anyway ^_^. | ||

I am amazed someone thinks anything else ^.^ MMA has been crushing it as of late, Scarlett which have sick good ZvT have said she cannot beat him in practice. For me MMA is the favorite to take the tournament, I hope not, but I am not sure who is going to stop him. Mana might be the best performing foreigner so far in HotS, going 9-2 in ATC against Koreans only recently. Feast looked solid as hell in the qualifier and SortOf is insanely underrated. The guy beat like 7-8 pro Koreans in succession to grab a spot in last NASL final. In which he btw defeated Hyun 3-0 only a few weeks before Hyun was in the GSL final. So yeah (cough) I say that it is a pretty good group | ||

With that in mind: Group A: + Show Spoiler + SaSe and Bunny Group B + Show Spoiler + LucifroN and Bly Group C + Show Spoiler + Ret and ThorZAiN Group D + Show Spoiler + Mvp and Socke Group E + Show Spoiler + Shuttle and NaNiwa Group F + Show Spoiler + VortiX and Dayshi Group G + Show Spoiler + Grubby and Stephano Group H + Show Spoiler + MMA and MaNa I'm expecting a really good run from NaNiwa. Say what you want about his numerous attitude issues, but between his ability to take games off of any Korean in PvT and PvP and the fact that most Zergs are going to die early in the tournament (It's probably true), I think he'll do well. Plus, NaNiwa is the most successful foreigner in a Code S style tournament now that Jinro has retired. | ||

I wonder if ESL did that when they picked the groups so it's impossible to get more than 2players of the same race in one group. Anyone know? | ||

It's possible if he tries to play from korea, hope he doesn't throw away such an important tournament by doing that. | ||
