Your vote: Potential group of death?

(Vote): Group A
(Vote): Group B
(Vote): Group C
(Vote): Group D


Tbh I feel the groups are significantly un-scarier than Shenzhen. Snute and Bunny really should have played in this instead of Gfinity for some easy WCS points.

Unfortunately, open brackets, group stage and Ro8 are played in the ESL studios in Cologne, only top 4 gets to the actual Gamescom stage :/

Some people already bought their tickets without knowing that. That's very unfortunate to say the least.

Gungfu/Showtime not even playing open bracket with just 1 korean :S btw. if I'm not mistaken there will be 4 games of sc2 @ GC but 6 games of wc3 (if WCA decides to play with a losers bracket instead of a 3rd place match) that's kinda surprising ^^
