it has to be A

that said, this OSL has a sick sick sick lineup, and every group has at least one S class progamer

the fact that we have two of the hottest new players, starleague regulars rock + light, pretty much everyone has either won a league, or been considered as a realistic shot

yep, kind of no contest. all of the groups are massively hard, this is one of the strongest OSL lineups we've ever had. but, last season's champ in a group with two top level protoss and Flash.. crazy

I actually went with group C. There's a ton of potential there, but each one of them has to prove that he's more than just a 1-shot round of 16 player. Lux and Mind have proven that they can do well, and they want to repeat the performance. TheZerg and Midas have proven themselves against the top level of competition, but will still have to work hard to get out of the group. Anyway, time will tell.
Force staff is the best item in the game.

Group A. OSL Champion, Flash, Much, and that guy that beat Savior (T_T). D could be extremely rough, depending on how Backho and Fantasy play.

Is this even a question? It has to be group A..

4 OSL and 2 MSL championships are in that group, as a opposed to 2 groups with chokers (Lux, and Stork) Rock, Backho, Light, and Sea are solid players but that is all, and Mind/GGplay aren't anything to write home about when you compare it to the players of group A.

group A's only downside is Much who is still on the same level as the 4 solid players

I went with C because in group A, there's much and he's a bit inconsistent - Group C has thezerg and midas who are both looking stronger than much right now imo. Everyone else in those groups are right at the top.

Group A has more hardware than the other 3 put together.

yeah, jaedong instead of thezerg (i know he's gonna be great, but jaedong IS great so...) and nada instead of fantasy would make this my dream OSL.
savior replacing GGPlay would also make it more dramatic, but this is going to be a great OSL

I voted A, but I don't think its really a group of death.

Dont think July will be able to do much this OSL and Bisu is very hit and miss. Flash and Much are solid.

If we look at possible flashy players, I'll choose C. Lux is a huge threat and thezerg looks to be rising. Midas seems to be getting out of his slump and Mind has the power to go all the way.

It's got to be A when you look at Flash, who at times looks like the strongest player in the world, and it doesn't even look like he'll get out of group stage. He has to play July on RotK and then a game vs Much the PvT monster. Geeze, if he pulls this off...I guess I can't be amazed, because when Flash plays like Flash can, he's damn good.....but man that's a rough way home.

Can't wait, this is going to be a hell of an OSL.

Group B, because Best will create mass death!

I voted for C like everyone mentioned above; theZerg showed some incredibly impressive skill in his play, and in terms of versatilty he's been second to none recently. Luxury Mind and Midas are all quite strong as well.
Though Flash's been showing solidly, Bisu hasn't been on the screen much, and Much doesn't actually have too much more going for him than Stork does atm. As for July, well, I predict he'll be about as good as Boxer after Boxer's comeback... a strong contender, but not quite dominant.

Group D actually looks pretty strong as well, though the players haven't been on the radar screen as much as those in group A. Stork, Sea, and Fantasy have all been exhibiting proficient play recently, especially Stork in his games during the WCG. Backho... you might as well flip a coin to see whether he rapes or gets raped. But I think at least, he'll give Protosses someone to watch out for....

From inconsistency perspective you could call whole group A totally inconsistent. Flash had few month big slump, Bisu been slightly slumping like a year, July still hasn't played enough games to show he's absolutely back as top3 zerg and imo Much has never made it big or achieved great victories. Having said that I see A as absolute only choice for voting because of simple overall skill and potential of the players. I'm just saying you can't really count anyone out from group A: much has a good chance in mirror and then it's only up to Flash whether he likes to slump or not July shouldn't lose in 2toss group though.
