WCG07: Xlord, Lord of Group C

The young and talented German player is playing in probably the easiest group of them all, but is it enough for him to boost his confidence?

Daniel "SK.XlorD" Spenst can probably consider himself very lucky after he managed to avoid any real competition from the start, unlike the likes of Ivica "Zeus[19]" Markovic, who found himself stuck in the group of the death.

With no real opposition, we can be almost fully sure XlorD will be number one in group C, but how will that affect him for the knockout round? Will he be more stressed, less? Will he be able to show his best in the knockout round? Or is there a possibility that he will be overconfident and will not even get through the group stage? Odds are this is not what will happen.

So far, he has only played three games, but with the opponents he's destined to meet, it would really be quite outrageous to see him drop even one map.

Nonetheless, this young and already SK player, team mate of super stars like ReMinD, Lyn and HoT; will surely be one of those hard-to-predict opponents during the knockout rounds, mainly because there was no real need for him to show how much he has practiced, any tricks under his sleeve, or at all, anything special. So how will this affect both XlorD and his knockout round opponent? We'll find out soon.

UPDATE: Xlord advances to the next round with a 100% record defeating the slovenian player Tine and the swiss player Hasuhasi in his last two matches.
