stupid to announce a draw (date/time) and don't have a broadcast so people can actually follow it live. better just announce the groups and leave the rest for themselves :|

When does this start?
add me to friends

Group A B C are all pretty tough because there are at least 3 good teams and only two spots.

Group D should be a cakewalk.

there is no group of death here, all groups are fairly competitive.

this is not the MIBR you think it is, no cogu,no fnx. So they will probably flop

ESWC groups are aways unbalanced.

group 1 and 2 are too strong and have almost all of the top teams on it, i will watch only 1 and 2 cuz i dont care about the rest

good job again ESWC keep the good work, i hope that at least you r not using that crap single elimination after the group stage

This is a draw, it is hard to have balanced group. i'd prefer this kind of groups because there will be dramas.
