Jaedong up first? Glad to be able to see him more, but can't really see EG taking down Leenock.

Guminock should pull it out for FXO if things don't go as well for their other players.

FXO 5-2 EG

Wow as of now I realize how many players EG has.

Still FXO should be the favorite.

FXO 5-3 EG

Not really a big fan of either team, though.

On EG I love me some Tzain, PuMa and JD, on FXO, asd, GuMiho, Leenock, Tear and TheBest (when he doesn't make Banshees).

Either way, should be good!

I'll probably watch because I'm dying to see pro games again, off season is sooo boring. Not even many online cups. >_<

Can't predict against FXO in team leagues, really. But EG will take at least one game, because Choya wants playtime again.

FXO 5-3 EG.

Really wanna see a lot of games from Gumiho, preferably against Jaedong, Suppy and Thorzain.

Thinking 5-2 to FXO, EG (like all teams) will have troubles with Gumiho/Leenock, so it kinda depends on when they get sent out. Tear and KINGCHOYA might score a kill or three as well!

*edit* "Group B contains LG-IM, MVP, Team Liquid, and Karont3"

I read this as 2 teams and a player, lol.

Well, the last two teams also basically consist of just two players in team leagues, so it's only fair if LGIM gets to play just MVP and no one else.

Think about EG and think hey they are pretty good. Look at FXO and know this is an auto win for FXO. Leenock fighting!

The map pool seems a little dated. 9 maps is abit much but there is also Zero daring ones. I guess it is too soon to add the new Blizzard Ladder maps but i do feel something should have been done to make it more appealing.

All of the Ladder Six is present. Little dissapointing.
