WWI: Grubby faces Sky in the first round

 

This coming weekend, (28th-29th June) Paris will be home of yet another edition of the Blizzard World Wide Invitational. Emotions are bound to run high leading to this event, and everyone will have a chance to see the best players in the world in action on a number of games, like Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne.

While Netherlands Orc Grubby has to face China Human Sky from World Elite in the first round, Korea, South Nightelves Moon's opponent will be SK Gaming's Orc player Korea, South Orc Lyn. The second match will be an European duel between the two ex-teammates France Human ToD from mousesports and the currently clanless player Sweden Nightelves SaSe who has just won Dreamhack. The matches of the first round will be completed by the match between Korea, South Undead FoV and China Orc Fly100%.

In addition, players will also compete in a double-elimination mode.

There are still a few days until the tournament. Below are the maps there are going to be used as wel as the brackets for the players.

Hm, I think Grubby Sky Moon and Lyn shouldn't be facing eachother so early...

Yeah, agree with you totally!
Boo!

Disagree. All these players are very good and capable of winning the tournament. Only SaSe may be slightly worse than the others.
Guess noone is really satisfied with being second best

Hard to predict who will win the first games imo. Except fov vs fly, fly is kinda on fire killing ud's lately. But I hope Fov will do well, Scourge Fighting !!!

:o nice brakets.

I think : lyn, fly, ToD and im not sure with sky vs Grubby. Could be 50-50.

Hold the S cause i'm an AINT.

i think sky will win it, cuz he has always performed very well vs orc and grubby in particular, but we'll see.

sky
tod
fly
lyn

sad for grubby he has to face human so early, hope he can handle it this time an kicks skys ass
(5 months ago)  #22 XATMO8G
 
Moon, Fly, Sky, ToD. Thats my prediction. Moon vs Lyn is gonna be dangerous but I think Moon can pull it off.
(5 months ago)  #23 4KFNyPG
 
sky
tod
fly
moon
same as #22 :P
i think sky will win, but grubby vs. sky is a difficult prediction.
(5 months ago)  #25 bucher
 
sky
sase
fly
moon

Grubby has like 10-90 against Sky. 30-70 when he watches the replay.
Grubby is no favorite. He is no top 5 overall.

XDDD :) funny guy :D anyhow -sky is imba :/
If force won't work, use greater force.

"Grubby is no favorite." lol.

hahaha good idea maybe he should save replay and go watch it. I'm sure there isnt a rule against that in WWI either xD!!
Hold the S cause i'm an AINT.

be real guys, grubby is underdog vs any of them... even sase had fun killing him in their recent clashes... only vs fov he would be slight favourite due to orc-ud imbalance.
