Can't call any of those groups of death. They all have 2 players that are easy picks to advance.

my first instinct was to go with MC, Idra, Kas, Beastyqt but I took a second look and its Puma, Mana, Stephano, Sase by far imo.

MC brings so much death to the table, but the other guys in his group don't pull their weight =P. All the groups actually seem pretty even. Looks like an exciting tourney!

Puma, Mana, Stephano & Sase !

Stephano is clearly in Top 5 Z world (except Korea)
ToD, DeMusliM, White-ra, Stephano, MVP !

If this were 6 months back I would vote for MC's group, but it isn't.

With that said I went with Puma, Mana, Stephano and Sase. If anyone of these guys decides to show up it's lights out.

A close second would be HuK, Nerchio, Tarson and Moonglade.

Only reason why I didn't select the last one is because I haven't seen Moonglade in action for a while, so he's a bit of a unknown factor for me.

none of them i would say are group of deaths... at most a groop has 2 good players, and only Huk and MC are great

i mean, if there was really a group of death, i think opinion on it would be pretty unanimous o.o

Another thing to note, is that Huk is a Korean invite and Select an American invite. Further fueling the debate

Top 4 players here currently are probably Puma, MC, Huk, and Killer... and they're all in different groups. So yeah no group of death.

And I don't mean to belittle the other players, but the koreans (inc. huk) are playing at another level still.

puma = mc
stephano > idra
mana > kas/beastyqt
sase training in korea

The answer is obvious!

I figured MC/Idra pool would be #1, but I voted Puma's group.

Dimaga, Nerchio, Sen, Ret, Morrow - in no particular order
I would put either stephano, sheth, or idra at 6th. Stephano is good, but he has yet to prove himself in a big tourney.

What people still think idra is good?

The closest group in terms of being closely matched in skill is Killer, Select, Socke, Diestar.
Ma Jae Yoon #1. The ONLY Maestro. Effort.

not really !?

i mean in group 1 there is obviously idra and mc but in group 2 there are Puma Mana AND Stephano (stephano is not like a super big name yet but he is sooooooooooo good) then in group3 there are Huk and nerchio (nothing to say about those i guess) and in group 4 there are Killer Select AND Socke which are not doing to well recently but still big names

I Agree for Dimaga but Ret/Sen ? Really ? IdrA doesn't make anything in USA for the moment, Sheth, make 1 final and you say "Sheth ? TOP Z"

Look the lan assembly, Stephano > Sen and Epic match on Tal'Darim vs Dimaga.
