We get to see groups before committee / players? Or did I miss something

Who is the most stacked?

SIDESHOW GOT ROBBED! #RIGGED

The spiciest groups IMO (assuming optimal player selection):

D (Finland, Japan, Spain, Vietnam) -- Probably the most group of deathy of them all, with Finland, Japan, and Spain all able to assemble excellent teams on paper

G (USA, Taipei, Brazil, NZ) -- Depending on whether USA does a good job at selection (i.e., chooses mostly LG Evil), I could see Taipei or Brazil giving them a run. Brazil Gaming House looked great online, even at 200+ms. Without that handicap, it could get real.

H (UK, Germany, Israel, Belgium) -- Germany's the favorite, but the UK and Belgium seem close enough to contest the second slot

B (France, Denmark, Thailand, Argentina) -- Also a potential for good competition if Thailand gets something together. I remember them impressing last year. Regardless, gonna be a sick match between Rogue and the Danes.

Have updated the article with the group format once I decoded it and realised what was going on.

Some of these Committees are very questionable...

anyone have the full list yet?

Full list.

Already there oops. xD

Im pretty sure the casuals just voted for ster because he's a streamer,kyky because they read his bio and awe at the 2 words "pro player" and Jason Kaplan because Jeff Kaplan

Noukky FeelsBadMan decent committee for Germany nonetheless

Added national committees

HuK being involved with team canada again :puke:

At least he's not playing this time.

Damn, Americans have bad luck with elections recently

Group C actual group of death!

Sweden - iddqd, TviQ, Zebbosai
Australia - HeyKatie, Uber, Serenity
Italy - Herc2, carnifex, HAL
Portugal - Mowzassa, Horthic, Didex

I don't know anything about Poland as an esport country? I would have imagined they would have held the event in Germany or England.

In my opinion Team USA is not looking good right now.

may the rarest flag win

UK: "We are going to have the worst committee, I mean what can be worse than Stylosa?"
Canada: "HOLD UP WE GOTCHU"

Italy and USA gonna take it this time boys i mean it

oh

Unlucky teams in groups E and F because we all know South Korea is taking one of them spots no matter what team they decide to use.

Sorry, but I slept kinda over this world cup. Does committees select full lineups by themselves, or does blizzard have some words for that? Can committees members play for national team? Kinda interesting if it's not the case, as I see some active pro players

poor ZP and Flame :(

I want Jason Kaplan to pick himself and instalock Hanzo every game. Be the hero we need but don't deserve.

I'm so hyped for this

Seeing the best of the best fighting for their countrys.

Its like in an anime or so

Rigged, no way huk got voted in with his piss poor performance last year and his absence from the scene since then. Poke is a step up, but he was also underwhelming last year. BOOOO!!!! :'(

they fucked up our committee :(

Netherlands - Dante, TwoEasy, Morte - exactly what i voted for and thats a solid base!
lets hope they can build a nice roster around them.

tWo PaGeS

Ill remeber you guys that we are gonna vote between the 10 players that commiters choose....so i think we cannot be sure about all rogue team or all blank team stands at world cup :/

Ster over Flame? ROFL

You guys are really dumb if you think a mix usa team will come close to beating full rogue or South Korea. If USA wants to come close to finals better select as much of a full team as possible.

Thank god ELFI or PROCYON didnt get picked into committee, nice to see that there is no full ENCE lineup in worldcup '':D''

Reading the comments I think that a number of people believe that these are the first 3 members of the team. They're, not. They're the national committee that builds the team.

Can they be on the team? Yes.

Will they be on the team? Who knows. Maybe, maybe not. That's the national committee's choice.
