Those groups were the faults for the players themselves not afreeca.
There's nothing jaedong and effort could do to avoid a 3 zerg group in ASL5.

He has stated he's not participating, I don't think there was really a reason given by Larva.

I would say group E is group of death. Last(second best terran?), Soulkey(best zerg), Rush(solid player with insane TvT) and Calm(Not sure how good he is atm)

Two that I'm aware of. Note I'm going by what I read on Ygosu.
First he cited the stress from attending ASL because everyone Korean crap on him whether he wins or loses. Lose too quickly? 광탈구 (Lightspeed exit + Hongu). Beat JD in a ZvZ? JD fans go ham on his Afreecatv page. Beat JD and effort after scouting perfectly during the time where there was a bug that allowed you to know starting locations by opening the alliance tab? Far worse. Reportedly he even went to a psychologist.
The second is that he said on stream something along the lines of "I feel no need to participate in ASL as I make plenty without it." But I'm inclined to believe this is in defense because he attends every other tournament like the DSL.
Note Larva is known by Koreans to an asshole, so much so that if홍구 law (if Larva law) has been popularized. This law works by substituting Larva into any situation, and the substitutes person suddenly becomes at fault due to his reputation. The opposite of this law is ifHero.

Man that's sad I enjoy watching Larva play

That's a real shame. I really enjoy watching Larva and his great play. Plus he has funny antics sometimes to.

I never heard of that alliance tab bug wtf Blizzard rolled in a patch so that the colours were preset to be easily identifiable (so no orange vs brown). But they did this in a way that in a three/four player map the colours were locked to a position. There was a collective outrage when the bug was discovered, and later fixed, and Larva just so happened to one-search his opponents that night. Personally, I say kudos if he did discover this bug, although he denied it.
Although I do think online haters went across the line, I think it's important to note that Larva is no angel either.

Wait the guy who played with his foot is mad about people not being polite to him?

I think objectively it's D but a is nothing to sneeze at.

Let's also note that this type of scenario can hide a silent ban or something like that. Worth considering, although I doubt it.
Anyhow, the guy to me doesn't seem to be in the right head space at the moment. He's losing to all sorts of noob plays on ladder. He seems to have lost his competitive desire which is a shame since he was rightfully a Top3 zerg at some point and a very good watch no matter who he was up against.

group of death hm ..... maybe ... c ? a ? i would say there is no super group of death to be fair

I've always wondered why nearly all the SC pro-gamers are so incredibly dull in interviews. Maybe I understand a bit better now, after reading about what Larva gets for having a personality :o
