HerO seems doable for ForGG, Rain will be very hard. A Zerg would be good as the 4th player.

Grubby have nice shot in qualies probably.
If he can somehow win against lovely Patience, then it will be Leenock who's not untouchable these days and then it's Hyun.

Nevermind actually, San + MC or Stardust from first, Hyun and Patience from second or Hyun and Leenock if Leenock can surpass Socke and Patience.

Lol, just realized that it's gonna be quite the PvT festival. Not quite guaranteed that viOlet makes it through open bracket, I think Hyun and Leenock have equally good chances of qualifying. Though San, MC and also StarDust could qualify instead of them and of course upsets are possible.

Besides, the open bracket lacks terran, but there are already "enough" in the tournament itself.

EDIT: Didn't read that the open brackets are already out >_<

Don't really like the look of this for HerO. I think all the groups are strong, but group A is the strongest. If that group gets Hyun/San/Leenock/MC that would be crazy.

Heromarine has a hard group unfortunately, but then again, none of the groups look easy.
There are things known, and things unknown, and in-between are the doors.

Group B should be pretty good. Polt, MaNa, and Jaedong should produce some great matches (assuming JD hasn't sold out, you know what I mean). Hoping that JD doesn't get destroyed by Polt this time around.

Also looking forward to see how HeRoMaRinE stacks up against a couple of great players like Classic and Innovation.

That is a seriously sick line up of groups across the board. Very excited for this IEM now.

Top 3 predictions: MC, Jaedong, Polt. no specific order.
StarCraft is the hardest, most beautiful game in the world.

Classic has been playing so well lately, I kind of want to say he's going to win this. Would love to see San take another tournament though.

I wonder if ForGG would pull out his balls-to-the-wall Marauder aggression against Rain. Somehow I doubt it. Against HerO though, maybe.

Between that and Polt vs. JD, there are some fantastic series to look forward to in group stages already.
