Life has won ONE GSL, the other GomTV event was Blizzard Cup, do not confuse them with each other...
Life wins the group, INnoVation second.
Flash third and Parting last.

Innovation is as described in the thread: standard terran at a high level. Technically sound. Not clutch, no comparable results, not a real champion. Can he win? Sure, but his chances don't compare to those of these 3 proven champions.
Parting is disliked cause he's got attitude. He was largely overlooked in WoL for a long time too. The first time I saw him play he wasn't given much credit, but from that game, I finally saw someone who I thought understood how to play SC2. Then he was hardly visible for a year or so, and finally broke through, winning the BNet WC and WCG. All I can say is watch him shred life in this match.
Life is the best player in the world, in most ways, but his micro can't match parting's, and with the balance currently favouring protoss, life won't be able to think his way out of the pressure parting puts on.
Flash is smarter than life, and more professional. He'll prepare very hard for these matches, because showing his fans good games means more to him than anyone else here (how do you think he went from #1 in BW to where he is now?). Again, because parting has stronger micro and is more likely to cheese than Life, he will be much harder to prepare for, Flash also sees Life as the more significant rival and is the one he will be most interested in defeating. It's hard to tell exactly when Flash will overtake Life, but once he does, Life will never get back on top.
Parting>Life --- Life is a little better, but P > Z is the trend
Innovation<Flash --- This TvT is Innovation's best chance for an upset.
Life>Innovation --- EGPZ
Parting>Flash --- Parting will win because he must. He'll be afraid to play Life again.
Flash>Life --- Might be worth a watch.
Flash and Parting advance! From where did you think Parting has better micro then Life ? Have you seen Life's ling micro vs Terrans ? It's something not even Leenock can compete with. Of Life's play his reaction speed and micro are simply top of this world. Just by my general sense Parting's is better. Here's a random example of Parting doing cool things recently: http://www.gomtv.net/2013wcs1/vod/72030 (jump to 15:50 to see it). After the game, Artosis says Parting's mutant power is micro, kind of like Wolverine has regeneration lol. I don't think this is one of the better examples of Parting's skills, but there's no question his micro is top class.
Nobody'd argue that PartinG's micro is insanely good - but you really underestimate Life's micro abilities 
Zerg micro - as usual - isn't incredibly impressive to watch, but Life normally just doesn't lose anything due to his micro (and whatever he does there :-P ). Best example MLG: Who on earth defends a blue flame Hellion push with Lings and Drones only? I mean... that's not even possible... normally...

I am literally quaking with anticipation out here. AWESOME.

Scarlett does it too (defending a blue flame Hellion push with lings & drones only).

I know life's micro is great, but Parting's control reminds me of Bisu in BW. I'll reconsider if I see Life go for an early attack or two against Parting (and they don't fail brutally). He used to practice with him a lot -- I think he knows better. In a random clip of parting playing ladder at the team house, I saw him mineral walk to surround and kill 2 stalkers at his ramp with 1 zealot and about 7 probes. He lost 2 probes. Who does that? Hahaha.

Can't believe article called Bogus "mid-tier" terran in BW, when he was ace player for STX, lol.

Really how can you even say Life has 5 major titles? He won 1 gsl he has much to do before he can reach Flash s achievments. Sorry but MLG and iron squid are not major titles,

No he didn't check your facts, there is a mistake in the article. He has 1 GSL title.

No there isn't (at least not on that point). Blizzard Cup is a GSL.

It is not counted towards GSL titles and is different format so idk depends how you look at it i guess but still not close.

Both Life and MMA have two GSL badges, each of them won a regular GSL season and the Blizzard Cup for their respective year. Thus, for all intents and purposes Blizzard cup counts as a GSL, and no matter what you say, you'll never be able to take away that 2nd GSL badge.
