What a group to start WCS Europe Round of 16 with: Former champions MMA and Mvp will face Spanish top-player Vortix and the danish Bunny in group A. Three Terrans competing against a lonely Zerg, the complete opposite to every GSL-group in this season. But only two will advance to the quarter-finals, whereas the other two will be able to console themselves with $3.000.

 [bunny] Name: Patrick Brix Age: 21 Race: Terran WCS Map Record: 8-4 World Rank: 73 Community Rank: 97 [bunny] is the only player in this group that had to play the Challenger League to get here. Just being in Ro16 though is the best effort the Danish has ever shown in WCS so far. Last season he was in a group with [vortix] in Ro32 but they didn’t play each other. Bunnys weakness: Korean Terrans. In his past two seasons [forgg] knocked him out twice. Hopefully this is no curse… |
 [mma] Name: Mun Seong Won Age: 25 Race: Terran WCS Map Record: 5-3 World Rank: 13 Community Rank: 16 [mma] is the defending champion of WCS Europe, but he struggled in Ro32. [welmu] defeated the Korean in the Winner Bracket Final, so he had to play a set of three maps against [starbuck] to advance. It’s hard to say how good MMA is in shape: At Warer.com Invitational he lost to another Korean Terran, [taeja] and at the weekend he was beaten by [vortix] in the Vasacast Invitational. |
 [mvp] Name: Jung Jong Hyun Age: 23 Race: Terran WCS Map Record: 4-0 World Rank: 12 Community Rank: 9 [mvp] won WCS Europe back in Season 1 of 2013 but his results declined afterwards from #9 in Season 2 to #17 in Season 3. However he is unbeaten this season though [firecake] and [snute] weren’t the hardest opponents in Ro32. Mvp hasn’t finished a tournament since his appearance at IEM Singapore in December and only played two maps in Proleague so it will be interesting to see how he performs today. |
 [vortix] Name: Juan Moreno Duran Age: 20 Race: Zerg WCS Map Record: 4-2 World Rank: 35 Community Rank: 64 [vortix] is in great shape: The Spanish recently won the Vasacast Invitational beating three Terrans ([select], [mma] and [jjakji]) on the way and also dominated ESL Spain Season 11 not losing a single map during the tournament. Last season he was third in WCS Europe, so advancing to the quarter-finals today might sound like a piece of cake for Vortix. |
