wow.. what bad luck for the EU guys.. i see no chance for either of them
If you think it's too hard there are solutions other than asking for a nerf, getting better is the first that comes to mind.

Naniwa vs Innovation gonna be awesome :D. Feeling bad for grubby, but scarlett should consider herself pretty happy.

Hm, while Jaedong has a tough group with three Protosses, I think he could beat both MC (on a good day) and Welmu, so not all hope is lost for JD fans. Group B definitely looks the hardest, I don't think Grubby has more than a snowflake's chance in hell to make it out of this group

My predictions:
A: Rain, MC
B: Bomber, First
C: Innovation, TheDuck
D: Maru, Scarlett

While Innovation probably is the strongest player there, I believe Polt, Bomber and First all to be on roughly the same level, while only Taeja is so in group c.

So group b is my choice for group of DEATH!

Good groups for Welmu (vP) and Scarlett (vZ). Scarlett might even be favored to go through in her group, after Maru.

While Jaedong being in a group with 3 P was the first thing that I saw, I still think he can advance in second place and overall group A seems to be the weakest, that just goes to show how crazy these groups are.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

JD still has a chance to get out.

JD vs Welmu is definitely JD favored.

If MC beats Rain, JD might be able to take him out. Their encounter at ASUS was pretty close.

I don't see him taking out Rain though.
