Strongest group is either A or B (tough to call), then C, then D is clearly the weakest. Maru is very strong, soO is very solid but has yet to convince me he's a "top" player rather than just a solid one, and duckdeok and ByuL need a lot more than success in AM/EU to show that they can take on top Koreans. They're definitely good players, but suggesting D is the strongest group seems silly to me.

Edit: Probably more fair to say that C and D are clearly weaker than A and B (IMO). C vs D is pretty close; I think duckdeok and VortiX are approximately the same skill level, Dear vs Maru is close but I give a slight edge to Dear because he just beat Maru in a Bo5, Oz vs ByuL also close but I have to give the edge to Oz because he has a track record (GSL semifinalist a long time ago and a recent 2nd place IEM), soO vs HerO I think too close to call; soO has been more consistent but HerO has flashes of brilliance that I don't really associate with soO.

I feel like group B is the strongest. MMA, Jaedong and Trap are all very strong and Genius is an absolute trickster.
A: Soulkey/Polt
B: Trap/MMA
C: Dear/Vortix (the upset pick)
D: Maru/soO

Hope Soulkey, Dear or MMA win! Hype

Group A: Soulkey/MC
Group B: Jaedong/Trap
Group C: Dear/Oz
Group D:SoO/Maru

Jaedong is in prime shape to take this tournament in my opinion if he doesn't meet any Zergs lol. Guy can only be good with two match-ups. Trap is probably the wild card but he is really impressive imo with his warp prism plays.

Can't decide between group A or B. Both are super hard.
A: Polt and Soulkey
B: Jaedong and MMA
C: Dear and Oz
D: Maru and Soo
HerO seems to struggele a bit lately so i am not very sure about this group. Also PvP has a lot of randomness and since Vortix has a good zvp i guess everyone could advance. MMA is a wildcard imho. The other ones feels like a good bet.

Wow, this tourney is stacked. MMA, MC, VortiX, Jaedong, HerO... I have no idea who to cheer for! Luckily, I just built a new mancave - so I can watch and play this weekend at the same time

Group A : Scary but I think Polt and MC will eventually make it.

Group B : MMA and Jaedong would be nice.

Group C : I think Vortix can make it to ro8 by 2-1 given his previous ZvP performance record.

Group D : Maru and SoO
