compLexity's veteran Quaker has been an elusive figure internationally since QuakeCon but backs up his credentials here with the best qualifying record of the eight players in attendance. Not dropping a map versus gellehsak, kgb and pl4gue earned dkt top spot in his group and allowed him to avoid rapha in the group stages here. Like DaHanG, he'll have one eye on taking down the SK star but the other firmly fixed on a place at the global finals. The latter will be his primary focus though, with a tough group ahead of him before he can shift his attention to more exciting prospects.

Despite starting as the favourite, dkt has too much experience to take group B for granted and will approach each of his games with care. Chance and griffin will be familiar rivals but the unpredictability of his new teammate, vo0, could prove equally challenging. A fifth to eighth place finish at Dreamhack wasn't a disaster for dkt but, on the other hand, didn't exactly cause anyone to sit up and take notice. He'll be looking to make amends for this in Edmonton and will certainly fancy his chances.

Prediction: Should take a global final spot, but only in 3rd overall
