USA's finest in IEM American Championship

ESL have unveiled the groups for their upcoming $10,000 IEM American Championship live on ESL-TV. Quakecon champion Shane "rapha" Hendrixson remains the hot favourite but the likes of Brian "dkt" Flander, Tim "DaHanG" Fogarty and even Sander "vo0" Kaasjager (currently living in Texas) will be looking to take him down with big money on the line here.

There are no easy groups but Group D is already being labelled the group of death with "rapha", "vo0", "Chance" and the controversial "walter" set to battle it out. The three other groups should be fairly straightforward for the top seeds but, with the level of talent on show here, nothing is certain.

The action is set to kick off on the 14th of October with the top two players from each group advancing to the American Championship Finals. ESL are yet to announce whether the finals will be held offline but the community remains hopeful.

Group A Thomas "griffin" Wall Rafik "LoSt-CaUzE" Bryant Kyle "relic" Mims Justin "sparks" Sparks	Group B Brian "dkt" Flander Ben "pl4gue" Tremblay Kevin "kgb" Holowchik Andrew "gellehsak" Ryder
Group C Tim "DaHanG" Fogarty Daniel "carnage" Sturdivant Jonathan "JUDGE" Leathery Brad "pyro" Olles	Group D Shane "rapha" Hendrixson Chance "Chance" Lacina Sander "Vo0" Kaasjager Walter "walter" Outlaw

	group A will be tough as well imo, I'm looking forward to seeing the lost-cause/griffin match.

vo0 lost to walter at quakecon, and walter certainly isnt a "random guy", plus vo0 hadnt played quakelive for like a year, he just attended for fun.
