People forget when the stakes are high JD plays his best. Going to be Jaedong Taeja advancing. | ||

Ouch, yeah, agreed... WCS GSL 2013 Season 1 as Darking mentioned. Yikes... However, this group (B, NA) does include 4 incontestable favorites for this tournament (i.e. Hyun, Taeja, Jaedong & Pigbaby), out of 6 or 7 of them (Polt, Bomber and Scarlett being the others IMO). | ||

As far as placing 1-3 im not sure... but he will get out of the group. He always finds away to make top 5 even when odds are against him... (Last year's Blizzcon when everyone expected him to lose to first protoss he faced.) Point is Group of Death is crazy but he makes it out to fight for championship or top 3 atleasat. Thats his MO | ||

Sure probably most ro32 groups in gsl are better than group b. It only looks scary in the context of wcs am/EU . Taeja is realistically the only true scary player. Jaedong is slumping. Hyun is losing to foreigners and Pigbaby has only made a name for himself in wcs NA. This is a pretty ho hum group gsl quality wise. | ||

Also I'm glad that Scarlett will probably get out of her group (unless iaguz decides to Masa her) and that Huk has a shot too. Very imbalanced group selection but it should be entertaining. | ||

but it's not a bad group for Pigbaby since he beat both TaeJa and Hyun last season. | ||

The difference is that as good as these guys are, they are not 4 of the undisputed best in the world as was the case with GSL Group of Deaths. I'm all for being hyped about this group, but trying to compare it to a GSL group of death is very inappropriate. It's a competitive group, but none of these guys would have good odds to even make it out of a real GSL group of death, so it's hardly comparable. | ||
