I think you mean Ro8. But that is my point, How hard is it to advance depends on from which players perspective.

Let's look a more extreme example to illustrate this.

If there was a group with 2 GM players and 2 bronze players. The group would be 'hard' for the bronze players while being 'easy' for the 2 GM players.

Thank you for the thorough explanation. You make a convincing argument and have contributed a lot to this discussion. As long as Parting's results are as they are, and Bomber's are the way his are (lets look at tournament results), the burden of proof lies on Bomber to show why he would be favored against someone who just secured an extremely lucrative contract. Why do you think it was Parting and not Bomber? Why do you think Parting has won so much and not Bomber? There is no clear indication of Bomber being a favorite, whereas there is a lot showing the opposite. Its not constructive to say I don't watch Starcraft and it doesn't support your case at all. Stop pretending its obvious when trends in the scene indicate otherwise.

I think we are just using different definitions of a stacked group. I define the extent to which a group is stacked as the difficulty to advance. I think you define it as a summation of overall player quality. I do believe that according to my definition, it is the most stacked group. And by your (assumed) definition, the DRG group is the most stacked.

Explanation:

Parting = "11"
Life = "11"
...
Highest otherwise "rating", 9.5. I consider them a step ahead, especially in a GSL environment where preparation is so important. However, if summing "rating", I do agree that the DRG group has the highest sum. However, if we are to use my definition, I do think any other player has the lowest chance of advancing from the parting group than any other group.

Really, I don't know when the last time Bomber lost to any Protoss was. Seriously, who did he last lose to?

Parting on the other hand has lost to a few terrans lately. Good terrans sure. I still honestly think he's some of the best PvT around. But Bomber is some other level of TvP.

Then your definition is by definition wrong. There is a difference between a group with two players better then everyone else, and a group of death.

I don't understand why people are talking about bomber and parting though.

One is in group A and the other in Group D.....

He said group D is the group of death because no one in group A would be favored against Life or Parting
