group 4 seems the most balanced to me,only cloud is below the other players' level; the other groups are decent but one can kinda foresee who is going to dominate them.
war is in my heart,death is by my side!

Honestly, I wouldn't say that any of these groups are stacked. Looks fairly even and I think that any serious contender can make a run with enough luck.

i said 3 because in comparison to the other groups, there is more talent straight up. i mean other groups have better players for sure, as you can see in group 4, but the overall bar of skill level in group 3 is higher than the other groups

Idk why group 1 isn't 2nd in that list, in group 2 mvp is just going to clean house, it isn't hard.

Group 4 is not the hardest, people always give White-Ra waaaaay too much credit. Not that he's a bad player but he hasnt been a threat to win anything in quit a while.


I don't think people are looking at white-ra when they say it's really hard group.

I'd say 4 aswell, but all groups look really great.
Don't think, feel

Why is Naniwa even in group play.. he's a joke -- flaming other players accusing them of making him lose, give me a break. Otherwise, group 4 seems to be the hardest imo.

Because he is a good player?

Yes, you're right, the seeding into groups are based on twitter quotes and general size of fanbase, previous results are obviously not the sole reason.
