I get the feeling I'm hardly the only one that's been following a lot of the tournaments since before SC2 even released, and obviously the players that come with it. I hope we can get a thread going that covers and discusses upcoming tournaments/showmatches in the SC2 professional world.
On to upcoming tournaments, specifically the IEM in Germany:
Pool 1
TLO - Terran (possibly random?)
WhiteRa - Protoss
MaDFroG - Zerg
ClouD - Terran
Pool 2
HuK - Protoss
BratOK - Terran
Tarson - Terran
Artosis - Zerg
Pool 3
HasuObs - Zerg
DIMAGA - Protoss
LucifroN - Terran
Sarens - Terran
Pool 4
DeMusliM - Terran
CrydrA - Zerg
Strelok - Terran
Naniwa - Protoss
I feel like it should be WhiteRa/TLO from Pool 1, I don't really have any doubts about that one.
For pool 2 though I'm not too sure, I feel like HuK is probably the best player out of the group if he's on his game, and I'd probably give the second spot from that group to just about anyone.
Pool 3 I'm not familiar with Sarens, but I know LucifroN has been getting better since his transition from WC3 but I don't think he's all the way ready for SC2, so I'm going to have to go with DIMAGA and HasuObs.
Pool 4 is a real tough one for me, I don't want to admit it but I think crydra will probably will make it out of that pool. I'd like to see Naniwa advance because I love the protoss, but I think he doesn't always play it safe and that might come back to bite him with this group of solid players, so probably crydra/demuslim in the end.
