Group A: viOLet MMA JYP -easy for them
Group B MC Nerchio HasuObs -Sound played really bad at HSC4 and i dont know how i got so far.
Group C PuMa DIMAGA MaNa -FD and Zenio are inconsistent but can take 2/3 spot also. Hardest group to predict.
Group D DongRaeGu SuperNoVa Kas\Real -nc
And MC will take whole tournament. Dongraegu/MMA will take 2nd/3rd place.
You dont't even mention Ret in your group B prediction, and he is a world class player. I think he should definitely be favored to come out of his group over HasuObs, and Nerchio is fairly unproven in LANs compared to Ret's results.
Nerchio is unproven wtf? I keep seeing this all the time. Last lan Nerchio attended was HSC 4 where he did very well. Won his group and beat hero etc.. This unproven might have been true 5 months ago but surdenly not anymore
Just watch him i woulnt be supriced if he took 2nd in this group
This will be a great tourney , i think that Foreigners have a good chance in this one , it has a few Koreans but if DRG and MMA lose early (groups) its possible ! Otherwise its going to be another foreigner tourney with the top all korean.

I would say that one decent showing at HSC IV definitely doesn't suddenly make him more proven in LAN environments than people like Ret who consistently place very highly in tournaments. Nerchio is still not on his level in terms of results in major tournaments, and I would definitely place him as an underdog in a group that includes two people who placed more highly than him in his only successful tournament.
Hey Just a question. Do they use gold bases on those maps? And is the Antiga cross position only?
I always feel like it is super hard for a toss player to win IEM and I hope they can change the map pool a bit and make it fair for toss. This time toss has Mc so there is hope but if they use gold bases maps, then it will be extremely hard for Mc to make it happen with MMA and DRG in this tournament.
Once again the group with Idra in it gets the most votes even though it is clearly not the group of death. Idra didn't get the short end of the stick. He wouldn't have made it out of any of them.
