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.

Why is everyone ignoring RorO? I mean ya, maybe he's being a bit cocky but who knows if he can take down life or not. I mean he's confident in his ZvZ and life isn't invincible either

We will see. My money is on yes.

Life can have nerves of steel at times. I mean he was down to Leenock 3-0 was it and then he came back? Same with some of his other matches but this is a BO3 with other Zergs players and his style is already out there. Scouting is something major imo which will help someone going up against Life since you can look out for runbys and such but we'll see, exciting :D

Life and Parting are the current top tier of the SC2 scene. Bogus, DRG, none of them are on their level. No one in that group would be favored above Parting and Life.

I think it is mostly because of B4. Although most people(including me) didn't pick B4 to make it out of his Ro32 group.


Irrelevant. Any group with Life and Parting would be a gigantic upset for it to not be Parting and Life making it out. Borderline impossible.


Well, it depends how you define 'hard'.

Some people look at it as 'how hard is it to beat the 'top' 2 players?' - In this case, it would be very hard

Some people look at it as 'how hard is it to beat the 'bottom' 2 players?' - In this case, it is not as hard.

Hard to qualify to RO4 ?


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.

Yeah you're right. Well I'm gonna get me a coffee

Bomber would be favored against Parting


By what logic could you arrive at this conclusion? What has shown Bomber to be a threat to Parting?


I don't think you actually watch Starcraft.


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.

That is perhaps the most stacked group to ever exist in the GSL --> no


Explain how any group could possibly be guaranteed to go a certain way. The certainty with which Parting and Life will advance is so high that I am saying no other group could possibly be so guaranteed with any other configuration of another 2 additional players. Put any 2 other players in a group with Life and Parting and its the same result: Parting and Life advance. Anything else is a massive upset.

yeah, which makes it not that stacked of a group.


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.

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.

In Korea: 12-05-22 vs. Puzzle.

International: 12-11-03 vs. Daisy (but Bomber won the series anyways).

Let's not forget how Bomber ripped Rain apart in MLG during Rain's dominance. If his TvP is much better than that, well, then ya, I would say Bomber > Parting

I suppose I think of it as a matter of conclusion. Who cares what the sum is if it still makes it possible for someone to advance? I think the entire point of a sum expression of "stacked'ness" is the probability of advancement. Its stacked, and as such, hard to advance. Can you really say its there exists a situation harder than Parting+Life to advance?

Read through any LR thread and tell me the average poster know what they are talking about. Disagreeing with a majority of people could perhaps even be said to support my probability of being correct.

Apart from all of this, drg has been showing his unstoppable form from early 2012 again. I'd make an argument of him being better than parting tbph, and he went 3-4 against life at ironsquid, losing after failing an all in impressively. To argue that parting and life are untouchable by everyone else in the ro16 seems a little silly.

Group A and B just killed themselfs, to many staked players

Also LosirA learned to chill like a boss, and he so has this group it's not even funny. MC has never beat him as i remember, his ZvZ are top notch and is ZvT looked even better.
