These are all crazy strong groups, with maybe Tester/fantasy/Leta/by.hero falling short because of the newcomers (and Tester lol), but you gotta give it to Stork/Bisu/YarnC/July.

Group A is made of win. We get to see some awesome PvZs.

GGPlay, Kal, Luxury, JD is a pretty tough group too.
As for Leta's group... basically a free ride for him.

Group D. Kal, Luxury, JaeDong all masters of ZvP/ZvZ.
But still I think all group expect for Group B are very difficult to predict!

Stork and Bisu makes group A quite strong, but I really think that Yarnc's weak ZvP means it won't be the toughest to break out of (also July is wildly overrated IMO).

I chose BeSt/Hwasin/Up/Flash because every player in the group is a beast in the matchups required: Flash in TvP, Flash and Hwasin in TvT, BeSt in PvT. And Up's unpredictable play may throw a wrench in any of the favorites' chances to advance.

one group with both current champions?

JD, Lux and Kal? All candidates to win imo, and is atleast as strong as G1. Stork vs Bisu hypes up G1 though.

All strong groups though imo, will be a great OSL! :D

Which group is strongest?
Definitely July's group.
That group will be great. ^^

Stork Bisu July and Yarnc easy

July is on a 9 game win streak, Yarnc is on fire, Bisu is the best player in sc, and Stork, although slumping, is still stork

2nd is Flash's group
3d is Jaedong's group(Hwasin > GGPlay)
4th is Leta .

All groups have 2 super star players, and then 2 middle ground (except poor testers group, he just fails I'm afraid)

Stork + Bisu, then Yarnc and July
JD + Kal, then GGplay and Lux
Best + Flash, then Hwasin and UpMagic
Fantasy + Leta, then Tester and Hero

Strongest group for me would be JD's group, I think overall current skill level of all the players in that group (perhaps aside from GGplay) is higher than the other groups.

JD, Kal and Lux have been in pretty good form, with 3/4 players going well, it's hard for me to any other group the strongest.

All the groups looks fairly awesome, and well, Group A takes the whole cake, incredible matches (hopefully) we'll get to see .

Voted for group C. Group A has great names,but Stork sucks lately except for his qualification in the MSL,Yarnc usually sucks vs Toss,but I haven't seen him lately vs toss,so perhaps he pulled his shit together in the MU. I hope that Bisu will walk over this group,but I have doubts. I am afraid of July and Yarnc can cause upsets too,and Bisu's P v Z has been shitty lately. Stork is very dangerous too,if he can somehow bring his A game,that's gonna be a great P v P with Bisu. Wow,a total 7 SL titles in the group. But still,Group C is the toughest. Flash vs Best is gonna be fuckin' epic.

Stork Bisu Yarnc July
This group is just ridiculous.
DinoToss, Revolutionist, Twin, and Tushin
Full of epic games that i can't wait to see


GGPlay Kal Luxury Jaedong
..hmmm The only game I'm looking forward to is Jaedong vs Kal
GGPlay is kinda slumping
and I'm on the fence with Lux..I dont know if he is for real or jsut playing with my emotions again


Best Hwasin UpMagic Flash
This should be interesting. BeST is in his element with ONLY T in his group.
BeST vs Flash should be a fun/epic match
Looking forward to a Hwasin resurgance ;D
Upmagic is a darkhorse, but he has a sexy TvT and might suprise people


Fantasy Tester Leta Hero
..Leta and Fantasy should take Tester and Hero TO SCHOOL ;D

A(All 4 have a pretty equal chance of advancing)
D(According to TLPD, Kal has a pretty good PvZ. Jaedong and Luxury have ZvZ and ZvP. You never know with GGplay.)
C(All T's have pretty good TvT's IIRC, and Best has a full PvT lineup. Don't remember Hwasin's TvP (I can imagine it's not as good as his TvT or TvZ though), and UpMagic pulls upsets here and there.)
B(Psh. Leta Fantasy EZ)

Best should logically autowin but...UpMagic can do all kinds of cheese, and best has definitely been proven to not be invincible against cheeses. Best and flash probably, but I hope that Upmagic can steal either of those spots.
