Should be good. Group B is the group of death, I guess, if there has to be one. Flash and Innovation sure are scary, but the other two are so-so (Bomber) and meh (Bbyong). Far from the most deathy group of death we've had.

Anyway, Gwangalli Beach should be fun. Not sure what to make of it yet, which is interesting. Anaconda looks very similar to Zerus Prime, but that might be because of the rare tile set.

In other news: BO1 appears to favor Terran. Idiotic format.

Pretty balanced groups it seems. Group D is easiest group though. Group B is gonna have the highest HPM ever in SC2 history.

Group D is also most even group.

Group B will be good but Group A is the GOD.

I reckon the main dynamic of B is going to be a meta-as-hell TvT onslaught, but Flash and Innovation are still definately favorites.

In Group A you have a GSL champion in Soulkey, 2 top zergs, and then Parting thrown in. Going to be some bloody games...

Watch out as Kangho gets out of his group (relatively easy), lucks out in the round of 8 and gets matched against Soo and sneaks into the season finals again, going for another fluke.

These groups seem kinda silly... the dudes from group D will pretty much be a walkover in semis I think.

Good chance either flash or innovation goes out since they square off right away, I consider group A the group of death though. Bomber and bbyong are among the worst of this ro16 where group A is three really good players and SoO then which i still think is ok.
