Jinro, san and NesTea is not a bleh group.
Eh, Jinro and san both started their gigantic slumping phase at that time. Neither has been the same since.

Eh? Wasn't that when san was at his best? That's the group where everyone still thought he was the worst player in Code S and he pulled an upset by beating Nestea. Don't remember how Jinro was doing in that GSL though.
No. Nestea got his revenge on San, and Jinro beat San as well, but fell to Zenio twice I think.
Holy crap, is this why the GSL finals always suck? Group B is the group of death, group A is the group of near death and they're gonna end up playing against each other.
I like the fact that atmosphere in there is so relaxed and friendly. Everyone likes everybody else and wants to play vs the best he can get, no skipping or avoiding strong players.

Nestea doesn't instantly up the other two. That's like saying "He can take 2nd, or minimum 3rd" San and Jinro haven't really been strong in a while. Jinro died the day he beat poltimus, and San is bleh.
Jinro didn't die the day he beat Polt, he died the day he didn't advance from that group. He owned the fuck outta san then lost to NesTea who he didn't practice for because he didn't think he would have to vs him.
And I like how people say san is meh now. Since his Ro4 result 2 seasons in a row this happened:
Lost to Jinro Lost to Clide Lost 2 PvPs (which he sucks at) Lost to HuK Lost to Sheth
Yeah, what a terrible slump, losing to those B class players.
So: Huk isn't that great imo (and coincides with the whole he sucks at PvP). Sheth is a cool dude, but San played purely 2 base blink stalkers in all 3 games and only expanded when he couldn't kill Sheth after like 5 minutes or just allinned. Cliiiiiiiiide is clide, Jinro fell off the map.
