I voted for the MC/Idra/Kas/qt group, kas might come up big again like TSL seems as he knows who to prepare for, MC is MC and idra might still have some fight left in him, but none of them are really groups of death imo.

The group with Mana, Puma, Stephano and SaSe. No doubt!

MC always makes death groups
Idra must be like "fuck I'm against MC AGAIN?!"

I don't see why so many people voted for group A. 3 months ago sure go ahead and call it the group of death but MC, Idra and Kas have all seen their play slip since then. Group D is definitely the toughest group as far as current form goes but even then I'm not quite sure it's a group of death. Ever since Flash, Jaedong and Bisu were all in the same OSL group everything else pales in comparison.

Voted for Puma because the first group should be called "MC shits on everyone group"

Seems like quite a few people are not aware how good Mana and Stephano actually are. I wouldn't be surprised if Puma doesn't manage to finish first.

Pool D. People are voting Pool A because IdrA's overrated.

No, people are voting Pool A because of the perceived Idra vs MC rivalry and are not looking at current form (both Idra and MC slumping) but at overall past results (i.e. two of the top 5 most decorated players).

MC is not in group A he isn't even in the tournament...

Replaced MKP like people have said 5 times.

Even though MC is slumping a bit in korea, if he plays anything like he did at NASL finals he will destroy his group so hard, bit of a mismatch TBH. So group of death is deifnitely D.

Puma group by faaaaar
MC about equal to Puma judging solely from NASL and MC's current struggles.
Mana, stephano, and sase are at least equal to kas/idra if not above a level. Beastyqt don't know much about him but judging by his recent record, he isn't on the same level as the other 5.

Puma, Mana, Stephano, Sase.. by far!

I mean... Puma obviously Korean, NASL winner, favourite not only of this group, but of the entire tournament, but...

Stephano: top 3 EU (and possibly EU+NA) zerg - only competition for him is Dimaga, Idra, Morrow, Nerchio, Sen and Ret. But, recent form is in favor of Stephano, only Ret and Dimaga may be better right now. I saw him @ Assembly summer, really genius play, falling only to Dimaga in best ZvZ I saw in pretty long time. I wouldn't be surprised if he toke a game from Puma, maybe even whole set!

Next up - SaSe: Great player, practicing in Korea for last week, surely he has learned something in that week. Also, he is great overall and he could fight for the top spot in any other group, but this one I don't think so... But we will see, he is surely capable of taking games off his opponents.

And last but not least - MaNa: He's in such great form lately, second at Assembly, third at IPL (although I don't know when were these games played), already qualified for IEM China... And he is the best Protoss in the EU/NA in PvT imho (yes, even better than HuK/Naniwa) fully capable of beating Korean terran (MaNa vs Nada anyone?). If Puma won't play 1-1-1 vs him, I just don't think he could lose. This will be "upset" for many, not for me though. Of course, 1-1-1 (with no mistakes from terran) can't be defended, so it's up to Puma if he decides to play fair games or just win...

So yeah... group of death it is.

It was hard to pick one. The pools look balanced to me.

Mana AND Stephano?! SHIT JUST GOT REAL. Both have been playing so super lately, adding PuMa and SaSe with his new found Korean experiences, for sure going to be the group of death.

Because Kas and Beastyqt are not worth noting to you?

mc is going to roflstomp everyone in pool A, most likely 2-0, so if you mean death in the sense that all the white dudes are gonna get murdered, then i agree

in all other respects its puma's group
