Which of the unseeded attenders do you consider to be better than the seeded players basing on their _current_ form (and I assume ESWC staff is basing on it as well)? I mean, I know that rapha and noctis aren't really "LAN proven" players yet, but you can't deny that they are pretty impressive right now (and active, as no one on the list). Cypher and czm are beasts, everybody knows that. Fox was always a top contender in Q3 and still is. Jibo is not the same Jibo from 2005, he's ten times better now, and he never really stopped playing Q3. The same goes with k1llsen. As for fooKi - he was amazing at DH, and he's "LAN proven".

Let's see now at the challengers:
-av3k's form is a mystery, I've read today that he didn't practice much, but then I've heard that he played actually a lot with Cooller.
-ArrW is good, but he's not yet in Z4muZ's shoes, and he's pretty one map guy (ztn)
-matr0x is awesome in our country, but he always choked at international events.
-ZeRo4's form is also a mystery - some says that he's back in his form, and some that he's still rusty as hell. However, everybody knows that he's a LAN beast and well if someone should be in the high seed instead, then Z4 is the right choose.
-Vo0 could be a black horse, but VQ3 isn't really his game type.
-griffin, very good, but not great player.
-proZaC still really lives only by his ztn game against Z4 at ESWC, but other than that - he's not a top contender.
-chance, solid player, but not great.

I know that groups of death will be really painful for the players and spectators as well, but you can't make it perfect. 3/4 of the players are really top shots of Q3.

It really depends on their shape. There is no real clue as of how good Zero4 will play, or is there? Vo0 got into finals through the back door...

av3k unseeded and noctis/killsen seeded is weird tho imo. Also, I d prefer to see rapha high seed instead of Jibo, but all in all it s ok no?

Have you seen Cypher in Q3 even once? :)

Sorry to say but in Q3, Cypher > av3k.
