Group H is definitely the group of death here. I really like all of those players (except maybe Happy).
Hoping LiveZerg can get out of his group.

Group B and C ridiculously strong. Anyway, if ShoWTimE somehow manages to beat First 2 times, he might advance. But I don't see any chances for him in PvT...

Predictions:
+ Show Spoiler +

A: Golden, Dayshi
B: Snute, StarDust
C: MMA, First
D: TLO, uThermal
E: jjakji, VortiX
F: San, Bunny
G: ForGG, MaNa
H: Happy, MC

I am afraid Nerchio might not make ro16 this season

.

Don't understand why Group B would be a group of death though, Snute and StarDust are clear favorites.

The more I look at the groups, the cooler they look! I think we will have a lot of surprises in the end, as usual!

Poor Showtime though, he must feel like General Custer at the Battle of the Little Bighorn, completely surrounded...

I'm not so sure he will go down easily, he might take a scalp or two!

Miniraser and Serral... define baptism by fire?

Welcome to Premier League, have a nice day!

You never really know what's gonna happen with MMA, but I think he'll practice enough to make it out of this.

That super awkward moment when the inaugural post and the first reply both have a "Group of Death" Poll.

Hahaha super easy groups for Bunny and Snute. I can see any one of these 2 reaching the finals and even winning it. I have not seen this high level of play from a foreigner since the Stephano days in wol
