The World of Warcraft 3v3 Arena IEM Global Finals will play host to twelve different teams competing for a chance to claim the top spot in the world as CeBit approaches.

Here is a look at the groups and how they may pan out:

Groups:

Group A

Dignitas
x6tence
Asia 2nd
Asia 3rd
SK Gaming US
fnatic

Group B

SK-Gaming Sansibar
SK-Gaming EU
Asia 1st
iNNERFiRE
compLexity Black
Team EG


In light of these picks, Group B is the toughest by far. The group of death if you will. The interesting thing about these drawings is that all the first place finishers are in Group B. In competition, that should be a no-brainer - it cannot happen. Group A has all six teams without a first place finisher in the season on LAN, and rightfully so, some of these WoW contenders will be extremely upset about this.

Looking forward, you can almost predict Dignitas to win Group A. In Group B, so many different comps will be played that it is extremely hard to pick a clear favorite even though compLexity Black has been on a hot streak for the entire 2009 year. Being in this group will not favor them, however, as all of these teams can pose a threat to their reign as the top composition to beat at the current time. Intense matches are on the rise, and the hot seats will be given to those that possess the most preparation and strategy.

On the bright side, both groups will showcase some extremely close matches and victors will be crowned one round at a time. A more than realistic approach, however, would have been to split these groups up according to previous victories and then draw the rest. In this sense, we will see some of the greatest talent around the world get knocked out by one round while others may advance with ease.
