I personally think my own group (B) is the toughest...
B is obviously the toughest, but I wouldn't call it "group of death".

If you can win only 30% of your games at your rank you can make C- if you only play motw.

Because you're naming it after the iCCup rankings, then saying that the iCCup rankings doesn't give a good picture of the skill you guys want... Or so that's what I understand from this.
I think the key factor as explained in the previous season was the ability to maintain a rank vs. achieving it for 1-2 games then losing it. It is natural that the best D rank players will constantly hit C- and never maintain it. Therefore, their inability to maintain C- by definition makes them D+, even if they occasionally hit C- (something that any D+ player can do on a good win streak on MotW or something).
@Group C/Pebble444: If I am converting the time correctly (as of this edit, it is 07:47 for me, 13:47 in Madrid (CEST), so a difference of 6, so 19:00 CEST is 13:00 for me), I will have to be about 30 minutes late on Saturday for my games. I'm sorry about this inconvenience, work -_-;

timezone for the Group stages is 17:00 GMT (+00:00) . It should convert naturally to user timezone. Its also in the OP.

That would make sense if it weren't for the fact that there are very few D/D- players who actually play in this and so few C- players who actually play in ASL.

Yes it's correct when you do the [time] thing but in the past it did not account for various daylight savings and etc. so I try to be extra extra sure, thanks ^^

Why it is not allowed? If both agree to play their game earlier, there would be no harm. At least I don't see any reason to forbid that.

I am not prepared, haha. No practice at all......

Earlier is okay, after is not okay i guess if the players involved agree...

I think its because groups are supposed to be played round robin, which means all 4 people in the group would have to be around at the same time.

Also liquipedia page has been updated.
Make sure you know who you're playing on what map, and what race you're opponent is playing since some people are switching race to avoid mirror match ups.
GL HF! Looking forward to some kickass games
