The teams have been spread out nicely and group a should be counted as "group of death". It’s notable that only two teams advance from each group.

fnatic seem to put in a difficult group. Up against Spirit of Amiga, who eliminated them at Extreme Masters II finals, roccat the runner up at WGT DreamHack and Made in Brazil, last team is the French team dimension4.

Once again mousesports and Alternate ended up in the same group, which we have seen a few times before now, they be fighting against defending ESWC champs from MYM, aAa and nEophyte.

Last year's runner up from mTw ended up with e-STRO and Evil Geniuses, both of them quite unknown to mTw, as they have never meet. e-STRO latest shocked many by going to the final at Extreme Masters II, Evil Geniuses a rising star? At least if you ask the community, n0thing has grown to rock-star status with his "n0thing but headshots" video, the three will be gainst DCC and Get2Gev.

SK might have gotten the easiest(?) group. Paired with the WCG 2007 champions from emuLate, the remaining teams in group D doesn’t really have the high quality as the SK and emuLate. Will this be a walk in the park for SK and emuLate, or will one or more of these teams set a surprise?
