Moon became one of the top seeds earlier today thanks to his great performance lately, but it doesn’t feed him any kind of luck. The Meet Your Makers player sees two best Human players from China, who are also arguably the best in their kind worldwidely, Sky and TH000 in Group C. On top of that, the Korean veteran, who has been away from offline event for quite a while, FoV is also there to make the group nowhere near predictable.

Defending champion Lyn has a tough group ahead as well together with his fellow Korean FoCuS and WhO and Chinese Night elf player suhO. These three Orc brothers are all quite good at mirror and none of them is able to claim he is any superior than the others so it just comes down to who is in a better shape after all.

SuhO in the meantime is not the one to be taken lightly. The World Elite player, according to their team manager King, has optimized his training method lately and is buoyed by his recent good results, including wins over FoCuS and Grubby. He also has a superior win ratio against fly100% so watch out for some upsets.

Group B is on paper a three-horse race with Fly100%, Meet Your Makers pair Lucifer and SocceR and Ace. In spite of abruptly ceasing to retain his NiceGameTV League title, Fly100% is still considered a favourite in his group, provided his double champions in the past two months. When it comes to current form, SocceR is slightly ahead of his team-mate for another place in the quarter-finals, but Lucifer is still a player to be feared for any race except Orc.

The only European player in this competition, SaSe meets World Elite pair infi and TED as well as Check in Group D. The ALTERNATE player failed to proceed to the next stage in both BlizzCon 2008 and ESWC Masters of Athens and his form is in serious question. Chinese players are always talked up in offline event, and the same could be said to infi and TED, but Check is capable of disappointing any of them.
