IEM6 World Championship: Group B preview
Group B, consisting of six teams, with the USA the only country with 2 representatives in this group, will fight for the 3 spots to go though in the tournament. The winner of the group will automatically progress to the semi-finals, while the runner-up and the third-placed team will meet the third-placed side and the runner-up from Group A, respectively.
SK Gaming
After a 4th place in the IEM Kyiv, SK decided to bring up 
Kevin ‘SR kev1n’ Rubiszewski, which played in his first event in 
Kyiv, and 
Filip ‘Dedrayon’ Romejko. This will be the first offline test of this quintet together, however they have been playing amazingly in several online tournaments such as Millenium CDiscount tournament which they finished in 2nd without playing the Grand Final against the French team, 
against All authority .
And the others…
Like SK-Gaming, 
Team SoloMid and 
Moscow Five attended the IEM Kyiv in January and they were the top2 of the event. TSM has been practicing in both servers, EUW and NA, and playing Go4LoL every week. These three teams will fly to Hannover in their mind headed to the first place.
Team Curse is a medium-high team from the USA, despite having quality, they aren’t favorites to pass the group stage. However, they are a threat to opposing teams. Team Sypher finished in 3rd in IEM New York after defeating 
Counter Logic Gaming in the game that decided the 3rd and 4th place. Since then, they suffered some changes in their line-up as they showed in their practice matches, but in a group with SK, TSM and M5, it isn’t enough to go through to the play offs.
EHOME is slightly unknown for most teams. However, in the IEM Guangzhou, last year, it proved that any Chinese team can surprise due to any team not knowing their playstyle. This may be one of the teams that could surprise in the tournament and pass the groups.
