Players of Group E has done not very much in a long time. But, then, calling MMA stronger than shuttle is hard to justify based on his results the last year. Uh, what? It's already hard to justify Shuttle being better than someone like Fenix solely based on his results in the last year, I don't see how he can come even close to being considered stronger than or as good as MMA based on their respective results.
I was exaggerating to emphasize just how badly MMA has dropped off, but yeah, I'm not gonna tell you shuttle is the better player for sneaking through the qualifier in the last spot. But has MMA really been doing well in the matches we've seen in HotS? Inconsistent is the best that can be said, I think

holy shit group e.
people shouldn't underestimate Shuttle. he's a former NSHS Korean Terran with some of the godliest mechanics in the world.

The casters are very disappointing to be honest. Both are ok but like the MLG casting crew I think there are better around. I really hope that either in a few months they add better ones or next year they pick a better production. NASL and Dreamhack both have better crews associated with them with bitterdam, frodan and gretorp and for dreamhack apollo and who ever. Like I have nothing against any of the other casters but its just disappointing when you see tastosis in Korea and then everywhere else 2 steps lower in the casting ladder.
Other than the casters the groups look sick and the surprising lack of Koreans just makes it all the more exciting to look at. personally I can't wait and im practicing hard myself to try get into the contender division some time this year.

He has lived in the Millenium house in France for a long time

Yay Mvp's group looks pretty easy!
No Apollo casting is pretty sad, if Bitterdam/Apollo aren't involved day to day I think Blizzard has made a big mistake.

Group H and B are the hardest for me to predict.

Geezus man how is it Grubby and Stephano always meet in the early stages of a major tournament. It's getting ridiculous, these guys should be meeting toward the finals but they always end up eliminating each other (usually in stephano's favor) so early on. Bleh.
Hoping for Naniwa and TLO to both make it out of their group but I'd settle for at least just 1 of them :p
I'd say pretty much all the groups should deliver good competition, I'm not seeing too many clear, definitive favorites... Even MMA and MVP could get taken down in the group stages. It'd be an upset, sure, but not as much as say....someone like a Life or Innovation would be. If it was 1 or 2 years ago MVP would be the clear and obvious favorite to take the whole thing by a wide margin..... we'll see here if he can begin to rebuild his reputation as the infallible king of sc2.

Grubby cursed for life i see, again with Stephano in his group 
Nice groups very intrested in watching this, good casters to, now for a solid production and i am sure we will have a succes.
|
the distribution of players is quite nice for these groups. There's potential for good matches in every group.
