I would be surprised, though i accept they aren't as deadly as they were.
As for the deadliest group - that would be oov-July-Reach-Nada. Kingdom tends to fuck up almost half of his important games.
For a moment it looked as if Casy would try to bunker the off center natural, but Yellow reacted quickly to the threat by sending a handful of drones to scare off the scv
it was not a bunker but a depot. in that game, Casy didn't do marine's range upgrade and he knew it after the game.
Yeah I was really surprised when Casy started that building at Yellows natural, but I thought it was a bunker only because his marine was heading straight north to that position. With the VOD quality though, I only had to assume that it was a bunker because I didn't actually see the ob click on it.
I totally missed the fact that he had no range, but that explains a lot of why he got hammered time and again by those lurks.

People give Boxer and Yellow way too much credit these days. Yes they used to be the top 2 players in the world, but now I wouldn't put any faith in them at all. If they do pull off a miracle and make it out of groups, both will be promptly eliminted in any best-of series against somebody I consider in the top 7-8 gamers in the world at the moment.

This is the most wishful thinking I've ever encountered. When I said it was obvious that Yellow and Boxer would meet I ment in the first round. They can't risk one of them being eliminated before they meet and with their current skill, that's a huge risk.
The only way I could concieve of Boxer not picking Yellow is if he's feeling like a tough guy and selects a deadly opponent...but I doubt that will happen.
Count on Boxer vs. Yellow first round...it'll happen...

If you're referring to me, or even if was just in general I wanted to make it clear that I cheer for Boxer and Yellow regardless of their current skill level. In my mind, it would not surprise me if Boxer won this starleague. On the other hand, yellow advancing to quarters would surprise me. I know what being realistic is but I think you don't give Boxer ENOUGH credit. Even though Boxer is in his ' Slump ' I think he's fighting back and I would say *Realistically* it's too early to count him out of finals-caliber play.
Edit: Btw Boxer is ranked 8th currently in KeSPA rankings. So he is top 7-8 gamers in the world, and I'm willing to bet he will spank Silent_Control who is ranked higher in any amount of bo5's.
Look at his Liquibet score how can you not havw faith in him HES BOXER 1 : 1 vs Stay[HyO] 1 : 0 vs Yellow 1 : 0 vs Qoo)Max 1 : 0 vs Nal_Rock 1 : 0 vs Sasin)Child 1 : 0 vs MinGu 0 : 1 vs Niza 0 : 1 vs Oversky

For terran and protoss just make workers constantly, you shouldn't stop until you have enough to fully harvest at least three expos. 50 probes/scvs aren't too much by any means. Get as many drones as you possibly can, however this is a bit more difficult for Zerg, normally 12 per expansion does quite nicely.

Is it possible for july/oov/reach/boxer to be in a same group?
