The first day of IEM Cologne saw  MC, mYi.StarDust, Ai.Patience, and  ROCCAT.HyuN make it through the open bracket and qualify for the Ro16 group stage of the tournament. While other notable players like San, Leenock, viOlet, TLO, and Grubby also competed in the open bracket, they were unable to make it to the next round.

Patience was really impressive today
|
Such a stacked tournament, Group A is insanely scary!
|
Looking forward to some great games!
Group B should be very interesting to see how jjakji fares. Qxc took a really hard draw on that one though :o
Hoping for HerO, ForGG, Jjakji, Dear, Polt, Jaedong, Inno and MC!
|
Group A GoD IMO.
Other groups you can say with almost 100% certainty QXC Mana and Heromarine will not advance. Group A is a total toss up, all super good players.
|
Sucks it's sold out.  But yeah, looks good apart from a bit too many protoss. Will be a good tourney though!
|
3 protoss. ....
Patience seemed to have quite the run. Who is he

Ex-Prime, Ex-Azubu Protoss who had a really good run through the online DH:W qualifiers. He finished in the offline event as well.
for future reference, Liquipedia is your friend.

Every group looks pretty stacked; Mana and HeroMarine will have quite the tough time as well.
Would love to see some foreigner(s) in Ro8 though!

Well, one of them is MC.
Patience is a Korean Protoss player.. he's been showing up more and more lately, had a few good runs in last couple of tourneys he played in too.

3 foreigners...
Go qxc! American Hope!

Wow the round of 16 is super stacked, like every group has at least 3 really good players in it.
and props to hasuobs for some nice results 2-0 san?! sick. to bad he didn't advance would have been a great storyline.

I don't see heromarine having a realistic shot; I might just not know enough about the player though. I feel like inno and MC are just full out locks there.
Mana and stardust are both fully capable of winning Bo3's against Jaedong or Polt IMO.
As stated above, foreigner hope = Polt :D

Patience and Stardust played phenomenally today.

Have a feeling Classic will do really well.

Nooo Miniraser

Hmm. jjakji's group just got a lot harder, but I still believe 2014 to be the year of jjakji. come on and get the momentum rolling for you by winning IEM!

disappointed that San wasn't able to make it out of the open bracket. Hopefully he plays better for WCS EU
