The http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/IEM_Season_IX_-_Shenzhen open brackets have been released - mostly. There is still one missing player in Bracket B, but the groups are as follows (currently)

Bracket 1:

StarTale (Z)Life vs. Australian Terran Phoenix (might be a race typo for SYF's (Z)PhoenixA)

Wayi Spider (P)Daisy vs. (Z)NesTea

Hong Kong Attitude (Z)Sen vs. FX-Production (T)Neige

(P)LiquidHerO vs. Bistork, a Protoss from Hong Kong

Bracket 2:

mYisanity (T)jjakji vs. Japanese Zerg (Z)Vaisravana

Yoe Flash Wolves (P)Has vs Wayi Spider (Z)Check

Jin Air (Z)TRUE vs. Dignitas (P)Seed

CM Storm (Z)Revival vs. a player yet to be determined (will edit and update OP when such player is made known)

2 players from each double-elimination bracket will qualify for the Group Stage, being seeded into a group's 4th position. Those groups again:

Group A: KT Rolster (P)Zest vs. Open Bracket player, Yoe Flash Wolves (P)San vs. ROOT (T)Illusion

Group B: Acer (T)INnoVation vs. Open Bracket player, Liquid (Z)Snute vs. Samsung Galaxy (P)Stork

Group C: Samsung Galaxy (Z)Solar vs. Open Bracket Player, EG (Z)Jaedong vs. IvD (P)puCK (possibly IronMan)

Group D: Invictus Gaming (P)Jim vs. Open Bracket player, Acer (T)MMA vs. Liquid (T)TaeJa

Bad group for San, decent group for puCK. Group B is a bit ridiculous already.

This looks so good. Too bad it's in China so viewing times are not good for EST

Edit: I guess it's EDT now, but it is still not good times for tuning in

I think it's spelt "ShenZhen", at least, going by their official website.

This means we could see a Zest vs TRUE rematch, that'd be so sick! Really hyped to see TRUE here, I think he's a big favourite to win it all if he can bring his GSL/proleague performance to a weekend event.
