Wow, siiiick city! Really nice player lineup in these groups, and even better player lineup for brackets, a ton of Koreans. Open bracket is Zerg heavy, but in the end it should just balance things out in these groups.

Can't wait!

They're not teammates, their teams just have a partnership in proleague.

Doable group for Kas, he just gotta practise against Protoss and hope some P like HerO gets into his group out of the open bracket players..

Really sucks about INno, that would have been a show-stopping Terran lineup. Still terrific though. Polt vs herO, yes. Life vs ForGG, double yes. Maru... triple yes.

Soulkey, DRG, TRUE and Snute from qualifiers please. Life can solo this bitch, but it'd be nice if he didn't have to.

Let me get this straight they play in the Proleague. A team tournament. Where teams play against other teams. And they play together on the same team.... Can we get a rule that says teammates can't play in the same groups plz!

Outside proleague, they are not on the same team. ^^

Yeah idd, it's even semi-hometurf in Taiwan. He has a pretty big fanbase there so hope he wins it all.

What the actual fuck, Maru, Parting and Hydra in one group?
If Hydra is still in his prime form all 3 of them deserve to get out of group stage.
Definitely group of death, will be even worse if TRUE/Soulkey gets in

I would love to see Maru doing well... idk but I feel he has the kind of charisma foreign fans can relate to - Ballsy play, micro, youth...

Disappointing that they invited only Koreans after they already took 3 of the 4 Western qualifier slots.

This isn't true at all, the Koreans are just the ones who accepted.
Former ESL League Operations. I ran IEM/WCS for like 3 years or something. I did map vetos on a tablet. That guy.

I think tournament organisers should start announcing who they all invited and who declined because you keep getting this negative feedback even though you do not deserve it. Let the fans know which players declined.
