Who will emerge victorious, and be invited to compete at The International?

HGT will win China qualifiers, I know it.

Mousesports should win the USA one. Alliance will probably have the EU one, given they are the most consitent performing team out of those in the groups, and arguably the best. (Na'Vi and NiP are both good when they bring there a-game, but I still think Alliance are just the best team). Rave probably have SEA, and the China is a bit of a cluster-f***

It's second place that's arguably more interesting. Since there's a lot of potential there for a lot of teams. Especially in EU, that's going to be amazing.
