Edit> Thinking about it, Dark has almost certain first place while he may face TY. Not sure how really good his ZvT is if TY is on fire. TY is going to try extremely hard to avoid Dark. OK, let's face it. Unless Dark really screws up he's 1st. Which means TY has two options 1) Win against probably the best PvT in Korea ATM 2) Boost some random Terran(mjr Special?) TvZ so he wins the group instead of Dark I don't know, Kev  TY can beat any Protoss, just has to be on his game. But when he's on his game I still don't see him beating Dark outside of BO3. Until RO8, Protoss might get nerfed too, that's something to take in consideration. Terran buffed as well. I think we can cut the might as well, group B is at the end of August, I don't see Blizzard waiting this long. Considering the discussed changes nothing IMO affects Trap's PvT that much. Charge nerf and prism nerf will affect every Protoss very hard if they go through as proposed recently. The positive aspect for Trap is that if the changes come out as I predict, it's unlikely there's gonna be any groundbreaking meta progress (a build that makes perfect use of the stim change) until his group is played Also they have to worry about beating Cure and herO before they worry about each other What I mean is that Trap's PvT wasn't based around heavy WP usage and chargelots everywhere nor the timings with those. herO? Classic? Zest? PATIENCE? Sure, these will get hit harder than Trap. In PvT, PvZ is a different story.
A very important part of Trap's PvT is his excellent warp prism harass. Now that's not nearly the only thing that's been making Trap's PvT work, but the ability to deal with a warp prism in your main more easily will surely be a god send for Terrans. And the impact of the core army unit becoming strictly worse remains to be seen.
Those changes combined might actually also make mech in TvP decisively better because the #1 cause of death for people trying to mech has been getting busted by mass gateway units (mostly zealots and stalkers) before having a reasonable sized army.

inb4 blizzard patches the game and a terran invents a highly abusable TvZ build that isn't countered or nerfed before Darks group

It looks like a 2-1-1 but you actually rush out the EMP upgrade in a hidden ghost academy and remove the transfuse energy from every queen with 1 EMP.

nice, I expected an answer using the possible stim buff but this is much better

Or some Marauder/ Hellion timing push with stim and concussive

Hmm, I wonder if this scouted can be beaten by mutas (I mean if they're on time to defend)

Dark could play his group high and still be the overwhelming favourite

Well, Inno made an interesting case

I actually think that worked out pretty well for Fantasy and Special, unless KeeN shows up like he did in the ro32.
Glad to see no KT team kill as well.

I was thinking like 2-1-1 even without Medivacs at the start. 4 Marauder, 4 Hellions and go. Could then be reinforced by Medivacs who bring the new units to the front so no zergling counter possbile

Edit> Thinking about it, Dark has almost certain first place while he may face TY. Not sure how really good his ZvT is if TY is on fire. Have been watching his streams lately and he has so far not mastered sky terran vs mass investor/corrupter late game. He is trying with liberator/battlecruiser combo like maru has but he is not macroing at anywhere near the same speed as maru, and his liberator/battelcruiser micro is also not up to par. I think he is going to struggle against dark going by his recent streaming performance.
But the group stage matches are still a month away, so any Ro8 battles are about a month and a half away. A lot can change in that time.

Like others, I thought it'd be funny if Dark screwed this one up too.
Group C looks terribly difficult.

Just checked the schedule and the Ro16 is going to be held in 4 weeks time! I wonder why there's such a huge delay...
