Note: There has been a slight change in the group. Cure had to pull out so FaDeManly the #1 am seed takes his place. Taking Manly's place is FlashAccel also known as Faytz
In addition Parachute has been chosen as the reserve.
How seeding was done:
For pros seeding and invitation based mostly on a mixture of the recent IEM, TGS, iESF and WCS results with the latest IEM results receiving highest priority.
Based on that the players are assigned to groups in a clockwise manner. Only time this broke the pattern was switching seed 13 with 16 to prevent 3 Eve and 2 DM.MCZ players in a single group.
