What has been the deadliest group of death of all time?
Big ones that I remember:
2013 WCS Season 1: Life, PartinG, Flash, Bogus
By far the deadliest group of death we've ever had. Best Zerg, Best Protoss, and the two best Terrans coming into HotS. Though things would change a lot in the coming months they all seemed considerably above the rest of the pack during this time.
2017 s1: Bogus, soO, Classic, Dark
Not much to say here. In contemporary times these guys are pretty much always among the best of their race.
2014 s1: Zest, Maru, Dear, Soulkey
Dear was the reigning champ, Soulkey was probably still the best Zerg, Maru was the undisputed best Terran, and Zest was the hottest new player who would end up royal roading the season
2012 s3: MC, MarineKing, Symbol, Squirtle
Might not seem like much today, but back then this group was insane. Symbol was arguably the best Zerg, Squirtle had just come off a nearly undefeated season (dat Mvp tho), Marineking was probably the best Terran for the first half of 2012, and MC was rapidly returning to form and would go on to reach the finals.

Yeah that Life Parting Flash INnoVation group was nutttttty.

Group A is the easiest but then I don't think there's really a group of death. All of the other groups have 3 great names and 1 median name. It will be greattttttttttt

What did Flash and Innovation win before 2013 season 1? Life and PartinG were in top shape though.

Flash had reached the finals of MLG (lost to Life) and was stomping everyone in SPL.
Bogus made it deep in back to back GSL seasons at the end of WoL, almost made the finals of MLG in HotS (lost to Flash), and was also consistently competing with Flash for the top SPL spot.

No group of death. Group B has too much inconsistency and Group C has too many match ups that are on paper easy to predict.

Was bored so creating some predictions using Aligulac's predictor (which I know can be hilariously bad). It reckons that group B and D are the most balanced and most likely final 8 are Maru, Solar, Innovation, soO, Classic, Dark, Stats and sOs.
Not sure if that's interesting but thought I would post anyway
