Tomorrow one of the utmost interesting tournaments starts - World eSports Games Masters 2006. With names such as Grubby, Moon, Sky and ToD, this tournament should attract many viewers. GosuGamers gives you the coverage you need!

The masters of World eSports Games are about to compare their skills once again. We've seen them all before, no one is a newcomer to the scene of course. We have the two recent World Cyber Games winners Sky ('05) and Grubby ('04), CPL Summer winner ToD, Sweet who won WEG Season 3 last year. Simply the best of the best are here, with perhaps some elite players missing.

First off in WEG Masters 2006 is the Orc from Netherlands 4K.Grubby (picture) going up against the Human player from China WE.Sky. Experts say this will be a tough match for Grubby, by looking at the maps - Echo Isle, Twisted Meadows and Turtle Rock. Both players have had a great season in WC3L, with Sky only losing a mirror match against Insomnia. Grubby has two losses, versus Moon and Zacard, both being in the tournament as well. Currently Sky is in the lead at GosuBet, with 73%.

Two all-Korean matches - Moon vs. GoStop, Zacard vs. Sweet

Sadly for the Korean fans, they have placed all four Koreans against eachother. But it should be considered fair, since they were overrepresented in the event lineup. The first of these two, Night Elf player MYM]Moon (picture) against NiP-GoStop is an interesting game, considering they met before in WC3L. There, GoStop won 2-0 on Gnoll Wood and Turtle Rock. Will GoStop build up a winning spree against Moon, or will Moon show his fans that the WC3L match was just a bad beat?
And will the Orc eater WE.Sweet take down a SK.Zacard with his ups and downs in WC3L? Only time will tell.

ToD vs, xiaOt, safe win for ToD?

Last but not least we have the French Human player 4K.ToD (picture) going up against the Chinese player wNv.xiaOt. WEG 3 did not go that well for xiaOt, disappearing in the first group phase, after a surprise win by the other French top player GG-Wolf. Maybe xiaOt seeks revenge on the other French guy. However, at SK-Gaming both SK.Enrique and SK.Chris0 who have both made expert comments believes in a 2-0 win for ToD. xiaOt is in home field, but should that make a difference?
