I am really not sure if the players are aware of their groups or not, so I thought that I would make a post about it. Also if your interested in reading up on the backgrounds of the players you can do so by clicking the preview below:

Preview: http://www.gotfrag.com/star/story/43105/

I will be live at the event handling coverage, uploading pictures, and hopefully getting some interviews.

Hopefully for Idra his TvT improved by a lot.

And no T's for Nony, which is still his weakest matchup?

As far as I know he is unless something happened within the last couple days that I don't know about. You might be thinking of Skew/Nyoken.

My picks:

Group A: Nony, the other is really hard to pick from this group given the matchups and I have no hunch
Group B: Idra, Yosh
Pulp can move, baby!

I would like to see Nony vs Louder :o

That would be a major upset in Group B if Louder won that.

Wow I didn't know the groups yet, so thx Colbi. I'm glad there are no T's in my group so I won't have to show my PvT until the important matches (if at all, Louder/Dino ftw!).

I wouldn't say PvT is my weakest anymore. I honestly believe my matchups are all pretty much equal right now. If anything, my PvZ is slightly my best and my PvP is slightly my worst. I've been working on my PvT a lot.

WCG Thought Process~

You got two 1st's, a 2nd and a 3rd

iNc (from us open) got a 1st and three 2nd's.

Artosis: 1 1 2 3 = 7

iNc: 1 2 2 2 = 7

Seed wise they seem balanced except for you being #1 and iNc being #2 which makes your group 1 seed harder (simply because of you). But they probably think it as iNc is defending champ which = our group harder. It's just WCG seeding.

A big reason it's fucked up is because of Dino aka 3rd place guy and they decided to give him to the 1st seed. It's just WCG seeding. Someone gets fucked every year / isn't happy with there group, it's how the world (of wcg) works. I feel for ya.

Love ya, see you boys tomorrow~

eric ur dumb.

seed 1 = artosis
seed 2 = incontrol

1st place seeds: idra / dino / nony / yosh
2nd place seeds: machine / future / louder / g5

i get 1 1st place seed and 3 2nd place seeds. my and incontrol's spots will probably just be switched if i had to guess.

Yeah, assuming they're going entirely by the seeds Artosis does have a point. He should most likely be flipped with iNc.

I didn't know last year's performance counted. Control lost every single game at his prelim and came in behind Dino.

But honestly it's not like there could possibly be an easy group this year just between nony/yosh/idra/artosis/g5 being involved =\
