This year, The WCG tried to separate favourites for each game into different groups, resulting in supposedly ‘fairer’ draws. This move is intended to prevent all the favourites of each game to be drawn together, which might result in early exits for the top players. While on the other hand, the seeding feature means each representative will have to play the best of the best and there is no such thing as an ‘easy group’.

However, even through the seeding system, it is inevitable that a ‘Group of Death’ will surface. This is apparent in all major sporting events. To determine the Group of Death, WCG ran a poll on their website and asked fans to vote for their Group of Death. Here are the results:




So it looks like Group C Warcraft, where our Malaysian representative, Serry, is involved, is in for a tough time as his group has been dubbed the Group of Death. While for FIFA, our representative Rei is in group D, the Group of Death for FIFA. Although it maybe unfortunate for our representatives to be drawn in tough groups, it is a proven theory that in order to be the best, you have to beat the best. Let the games begin!
