1. Toxic the history maker?

If toxic wins the WCG, he will have collected his 7th straight tournament win, something that neither Vo0 or Fatal1ty can claim in the history of deathmatch gaming.

2. av3k v Fatal1ty take 3?

If they both come through their groups, they could meet up for the 3rd time in 3 tournaments. Current score av3k 2-0 Fatal1ty.

3. Stermy to become first Italian to win the WCG on home soil?

Never under estimate the power of a crowd, whether it be Winz at ESWC in France or Cooller in front of his adoring crowds in Moscow, home advantage does matter, but will Stermy be able to overcome the machine and make his home nation proud of a WCG Champion?

4. The Underdog

As odd as it might sound, Fox is the underdog here. He has the acknowledged tough group and he is a late call up as a replacement for Cooller. We have seen it before, but does lightning strike twice in Quake 4?

5. Can Fatal1ty add another crown to his trophy cabinet?

There are some pretty strong voices suggesting a Fatal1ty victory is imminent and if it came at the WCG, it would surely be his greatest triumph.
