On the bright side, Keen now has a good reason to have an epic ceremony should he pull some epic wins and makes it out of his group. The harder the opponents are, the better ceremony the underdog should pull off to let off steam and pressure after his grueling miracle wins.

I, for one, am looking forward to Keen's magnum opus of ceremonies thus far.

Gonna go with B, though it's close. Puzzle is gonna go down like roadkill though. 1 Protoss with 3 top Terrans in a matchup with a huge Terran winrate. Ouch.

I can't wait to see MMA vs Nestea again. I've been a fan of MMA since GSTL March which is why I'm really excited to see him beating Nestea every time they play on T.V. lately. (2-0ing Nestea in AOL and beating Nestea in the GSL groups of last season). If MMA manages to take down Nestea again in this group I think it's safe to say that Nestea has met his match, especially since Nestea said during the group selections that he planned on picking MMA because he had been practicing his ZvT and is confident that he would beat MMA. I'm getting excited to see NaDa in this group too. I hope he does well. I would love to see MMA and NaDa come out of this group, even though it would be strange for Nestea to be knocked out so early.

I'd say all four would be favored over NaDa and keen. I'd give any of them a decent chance versus MMA.

Yeah um, no. Ryung is just another overrated Slayers Terran people only know about because he plays on Boxer's team. The only notable players he's ever beaten are, funnily enough, the players in his own group. Nada has never failed to get out of the Ro32 and Keen beat Bomer in a BoX. Don't be so sure that it's going to be MMA and Nestea making it out of there.

Voted C, but realistically G is pretty tough. MMA and NesTea should take 1/2 in group C with nada the extra spice that makes it nice, but group G... DRG, Polt, Taeja are all pretty evenly matched in my books.

Seems kind of silly that there is atleast 3-4 very hard groups (B,C,E,G) but Huk pulled like the joke of a group. More than 1 player from group D (Huk, zenio, virus, asd) should be in code A or even code B..

Also I'm surprised noone has voted group F. In terms of skill level yes they're a bit lower than the others, but they're all very evenly matched all 4 of them. Leenock, happy, jjakji and genius... pretty hard to take 2 easy winners from that group. I want to say jjakji has a decent chance though.

Group B is the hardest, it seems the players are all kinda close skill-wise, except maybe Bomber.
Group C can be tough for Nestea cause ZvT seems to be his weakest matchup.

it depends, are you saying hardest group for each person to get out of, or strongest group as in the group with the best players?

i voted based on the group with the strongest players


Group E is quite stacked as well, especially considering their skill levels are quite close.

Group E and Group B i would say are the closest in skill (out of the ones with good players), with Group C coming up as a close 3rd and Group G a close but not as close as Group C.

G wouldn't be too ridiculous, I think that Taeja is pretty underrated atm, and DRG/Polt/Killer aren't cakewalks by any means. I voted B as far as hardest between all of the players as I feel that C is more of an MMA and NesTea showdown. I hope Keen and NaDa put up some good fights to make it more interesting -- I'm pretty sure they're fully capable of taking a game if they bring their best.

Group B is more difficult than Group C, Marineking, Puzzle, Bomber, Ryung are all some of the best players in the world. I predict Ryung 1st Bomber 2nd and Puzzle third.

Group C is a close second, but NaDa hasen't been performing as well lately, and Keen is usually seen as a lower tier Code S Terran. NesTea should NOT get through this group If his recent ZvT's have been any indicator.

I voted for F, someone in that group will make it very far at least. And I don't think that Nestea will make it out of his group. His weakest match up is ZvT and Nada and MMA are very good.

I agree Group E is a solid group, and that It's undervoted. But I would place It third, I think It's much weaker than B, and somewhat weaker than C.

Group B Is a INSANE group. It's almost as If they purposely picked the best players in GSL for one group.

As bad as B is I will almost gurentee that Puzzle makes it out of that group because of whos in it with MKP likely falling back to up/down.

The top 3 so far make sense - C, B, G. Wondered mostly between these three too. And voted C finally, but under a more subtle scope the hardest group right now is probably G. Taeja is on fire; Killer is very solid. Whereas with Nestea/MKP you never know; one seems to be going into a slump, the other seems to be getting out of a slump, but in any case they aren't very stable at the moment.

I voted group C, Keen might take it, his TvT/Z has improved tremendeously. After all he did beat TesTer, Leenock and Bomber, but lost to NaDa. There should be no underestimating any players in this group, Nesteas ZvT might not have worked out recently, but he still have MVP to teach him the ropes!

I'd say B is considerably much harder than C. Both MMA and Nestea are hyped. B is 100 % ludicrous, ryung is very underrated in foreign discussions and with MKP in the group there's only 1 spot for 1st place remaining.

can you put more content in the OP? Like, how about listing the people in the groups and doing some kind of prediction or some kind of statistic like win rates so we can actually see which group is the hardest.

The bad thing about group C is that a code S player will go to up&downs...MMA and Nestea will advance in theory but Nada knows how to handle this kind of games/pressure...group B has MKP so...^^ he knows what it takes to go down and up, no problem I have faith in puzzle...so my bet for B is Bomber and puzzle...ryung third...mkp 4th? That hurts...

Group B and E are the two groups that are hardest to call a clear winner from. Most of the other groups are simply to easy to choose from.

Hope Nestea can defeat MMA and show everyone he has the best ZvT in the world. He was close in the AOL matches but made a few easily rectified decisions (Losira made similar mistakes, makes me feel like they weren't trying 100%).

Are you out of your mind? ZvT is pretty rediculous and MMA has recently become quite consistent. Nada has never lost Ro32 Code S and Nestea is Nestea. Keen is a dangerous player according to Nada, and this gives group C the auto "strongest group".

I didn't really mean that as in C is weak - it was on my list. I just meant I would have trouble deciding on just one group of death.

Voted B because in C you have TvP which is easier than TvZ, especially TvZ vs Nestea (although Puzzle is an awesome P player).

I think Keen is going to make it through, MMA's and Nada's TvT is not unbeatable.

It's obviously group B, Group A has Nada/Keen who aren't what I consider top tier or innovative.

However group B - MKP, Puzzl, Bomber, Ryung - All of these guys are at the top of their game, innovative, hungry and looking to prove themselves. That's a scary group.

Group F will be hard for those players, because all of them can beat each other. That said, I feel bad for Keen. I hope he plays well and if he doesn't I hope his Up and Down group is a little easier.

B and C are just ridiculous.

I bet you didn't even bother to read down the list.

Group G has:
DRG: up and coming powerhouse Zerg (3rd Korean Elo)
Tajea: Baller Slayers' Terran (4th Korean Elo)
Poltimus: 4 gold medals this year, including GSL supertourny, (7th Korean Elo)
Sangho: His terrible PvP aside he's a consistent strong Protoss.

Group E has merits too; but G definitely is badass.

You can't think about it in terms of matchups. Hardest group is the one with the best players in it. In that respect, Group C has Nestea, Nada and MMA, three extremely high level players, and keen, who's pretty formidable as well (Altough obviously not as good as the others).

I can also see pretty good arguments for B, as it has all pretty good players, especially since it has 3 terrans and Ryung has a killer TvT matchup.

Some people have mentioned group E and they're probably pretty good two but I don't see them competing with Group B and C.

Group B seems super hard for 3 players, whereas grou C seems superhard for Nada and Keen. So B.

Group C is definitely tough, but I think B is even harder. Three top tier Terrans in MKP, Bomber, and Ryung who is one of best TvT players in the world, then you have a top 3 Protoss as well.

It sucks that a really good player like keen is forced into that kind of group when he's better than a large portion of Code S players.

B is the hardest group for sure. NaDa needs his second coming and keen isn't exactly top tier. MKP is the weakest in group b and that's saying alot... although he'll probably make it out before puzzle.

I think Puzzle has an excellent PvT regardless, and I think he *might* be able to pull out of this group.

any group with Nada is the hardest group, because you're already fighting for second place, so your chances of advancing go from 50% to 33%. If you disagree, tell me what season Nada didn't advance from his group and I'll take it back.

cant see how group c is harder than a group where the weakest link is MKP...
Also people doubting puzzle pvt are foolish, that kid is sick, beat puma 2-0 once and puma is a DAYUM good tvp-er (just saying even once is enough for me even if none were macro games seriously I love puma, not saying puzzle is better)

Also ryung is ridiculous at tvt and bomber is ridiculous. In fact i think ryung or bomber could take group C so...

I was about to choose group B when I saw MKP, Puzzle, Bomber and Ryung, all 4 being strong Code S players... until I saw Group C with Nestea, MMA and Nada. Good luck to Keen... but I think he just had bad luck.
