Those are some stacked groups.
Only 2 groups per week though, I like that it gets streched thinner, not 4 days a week content every time.

(Group F June 10th, someone should fix that)

B hardest with 2 Koreans + Stephano
D is also pretty stacked, a Korean, one of the best Europeans (according to season1), a European online monster (two allkills in Acer Teamstory Cup vs Korean teams) and a decend European

edit: and yes, C also stacked, dont know why I missed that the first time

Grouå C is so stacked! Two of the best europeens, one decling korean and one good korean. Have no idea who will make it out, but rooting for TLO and Mana :D

MMA has been looking pretty good after he lost in WCS EU PL. I think he will do better this season.

C and G are very hard. H seems to be the easiest. I love the fact that it will be less rushed than Season 1 but I really hope everything will be offline.

Good draw for Dayshi, harder for ForGG, beginning against a VortiX in holidays is pretty hard. And Stephano vs Zerg is always something which scares me.

I think there's a very good chance that top 5 from EU will be completely different this time save for Mvp. I can see Stephano, TLO and Dimaga dropping out in ro32.

Agreed about C and G, but H isn't easy for the players in it! I think any two might advance from that group so it will be scrappy regardless :D

Edit: I also feel like elfi might beat Mvp in the first match. Of course Mvp will get out of the group and elfi might not, but I think that being the first game being played and elfi being elfi...
