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

Canada Thomas "griffin" Wall
United States Rafik "LoSt-CaUzE" Bryant
United States Kyle "relic" Mims
Canada Justin "sparks" Sparks
Group B

United States Brian "dkt" Flander
United States Ben "pl4gue" Tremblay
United States Kevin "kgb" Holowchik
Canada Andrew "gellehsak"
Ryder

Group C


United States Tim "DaHanG" Fogarty
United States Daniel "carnage"
Sturdivant
United States Jonathan "JUDGE" Leathery

United States Brad "pyro" Olles


Group D


United States Shane "rapha"
Hendrixson
United States Chance "Chance" Lacina
Netherlands Sander "Vo0" Kaasjager
United States Walter "walter" Outlaw

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.
