How comes u think G5 and cloud are harder to beat than morrow,kolll or naugrim ? I think they are pretty even in skill. I mean you played them okey u should know best. So i cant really know better than you but we agree it mainly depends on what race you play and what match up u like, too doesnt it ? imagine a player who hates to play vs p and isnt that comfortable vs z being in the group with cloud,g5 and ret.. he probably would like to be in the zzzt group instead.. vice versa.. And people here thinkin that this group isnt a group of death because ret in it is simply wrong, too. Ret is the big favourite to win this group but let me tell u: In many other groups Cloud and maybe G5 would be favs too. Granted they dont have ret in the same group obviously.. | ||

Yes. 1) Bisu, Jaedong, IdrA, ret 2) C, C, C, C (since they are more consistent that D) My group of death is 2 in this case. Group 1 bisu and jaedong qualifies, group C.. who knows. Obviously that wouldn't be the same tournament so we're not talking anywhere near as big a range of skill. Why do people think that? Why do you think otherwise? Do you have anything to back that up? Stop passing your opinion off as fact please. I was very careful to explain what i meant and that it was my definition. A quick google search reveals that there is no hard definition, but everyone is split on it. Football fans, starcraft fans.. you name it. | ||

Ret is the big favourite to win this group but let me tell u: In many other groups Cloud and maybe G5 would be favs too. Granted they dont have ret in the same group obviously.. octzerg is trash, morrow and naugrim are mediocre and kolll is questionable, given his performance since wcg. g5 is very good and cloud was the best or 2nd best foreign protoss for a long time, he dropped off the radar given his inactivity but he just laddered for 3 weeks and has another 3 weeks to prep for his matches, once youve reached that level its not that hard to regain alot of it. obviously personal preference depends on matchup, though theres not many players with matchups so skewed that theyd rather face ret g5 cloud than morrow naugrim koll, but we're talking about the overall strength of the group, where that doesnt matter. | ||

It's a group of death because it forces elimination of players who deserve to place higher in the tournament -> death. A group of C C C C has none so it's not a group of death. Also, if 2 of them are koreans its not even at all.

This comparison makes no sense in the first place. OctZerg isn't even the first seed. | ||

but a Morrow, OctZerg, Koll, Naugrim group comes in a close second that is ridic. Morrow @ second, Octzerg is gosu, Koll is wonderkid with like an umlat over the "O". UBER wonderkid, and Naugrim is a gosu and gm player. | ||
