Despite the hustle and bustle of visa issues the ESWC have now announced the seedings for the tournament. The players are divided into three categories; Top Seed, High Seed and Challengers (for all the others).

The tournament will consist of four groups of five players, each group will have 1 top seed, 1 high seed and 3 challengers. The top two of each group will progress to the playoffs.

South Korea is the country with the most representatives fielding five players closely followed by four from France courtesy of their seperate qualifiers.

Manuel 'GrubbY' Schenkhuizen and Yoan 'ToD' Merlo find themselves with a high seed, meanwhile Grubby's team-mate Jae Wook 'Lucifer' Noh has been given bottom seed which will make for a hard tournament.
