Why are so many voting F? As a whole, the players in group B are clearly better than those in F.

I think its the same mentality that comes to play as when you put boxer in a pool, people see ret and vote for him, not because they think, but just because its ret...

an active Cloud yes and g5 way better than morrow and naugrim ?
I doubt it.. g5 and cloud are both awesome but naugrim and morrow are pretty good, too

In my opinion group G is getting far too few votes..

It's easily Group B, people just fanboying ret (not that I hate him or anything, the guy's great) doesn't make his group the group of death. Actually I think he won't have much trouble advancing, whereas in Group B it is much harder to tell because the skill is on a very high but yet balanced level.

balanced level doesnt make it a group of depth. ask any player if theyd rather be in B or F, every one of them will say B.

I respect that and think a poll should be made amongst those 48 Players, the result would just be much more representative.

To me a group of death is a group where there are more good players than there are qualification spots. Since only 1 person advances here I'd say that the group with the strongest 2 players are the group of death. For example: An OSL group with firefist, flash, jaedong and spear would not be a group of death (since all players who should be in the ro8 will probably advance) whereas a group with Stork, Effort, Fantasy and pokju would be since we have 3 likely top 8 players in the same group.
Backho fan since 080416. Favourite terran: Mind. Favourite Zerg: Jaedong.

Yeah I totally agree. Reminds me of the recent poll about the hardest OSL/MSL groups. It was clearly the one that had 3 high level A or S pros (in that case it was Fantasy, Effort, Calm). Not just the one with Flash/Stork in it.

EDIT: even though Kwanro/Tybe-B are very good

Lol.. do you even need a poll for this? F, of course... anybody who says anything different is either a retard or did not read the brackets at all.. or both.

Group of death to me means the one that will produce the closest games all the way. Doesn't matter at what level. To me that's group g. i doubt the winner of the tsl is in there, but anyone can win that group imo.

If I knew how I would make a vote amongst the players, like "which group are you happy not to be in?". Ideas how to do it? Don't know if all of them are on TSL, I would do it over PM and post it somewhere.
