sOs gets to practice nothing but PvT, so that's good for him, but since PvT seems to be the most imbalanced match up at the moment (we'll see how the liberator nerf changes that), that's less advantageous than it could be.

You guys serious voting for 2017 over 2013?

The 2013 group B had the best Protoss of the time, the best Zerg and the two best Terrans.

Classic being in the 2017 group brings it down.

==

A: ByuL, aLive
B: Bogus, soO
C: herO, Leenock
D: Maru, sOs

Bogus might be in the clear this season unless herO, Maru, or ByuL can stop him.

OMG group B, SKT didn't die for this...

does anyone have an order of picks btw? I'd like to see who picked who but I don't have the time to watch the whole VOD

1st round

(T)TY --> (T)aLive
(P)sOs --> (T)KeeN
(P)herO --> (P)Trap
(Z)Dark --> (P)Classic

2nd round

(T)KeeN --> (T)Bunny
(P)Trap --> (Z)Leenock
(P)Classic --> (T)Ryung
(T)aLive --> (Z)ByuL

final round

((T)TY: "If ByuL doesn't do as I say (and pick (P)Stats or (Z)soO) I'll put him into another group")
(Z)ByuL --> (P)Stats
(T)Ryung --> (Z)soO
(Z)Leenock --> (T)INnoVation
(T)Bunny has to take (T)Maru

TY gets 1 swap between any two players. Stats wants to get swapped with someone from group C or D to make it easier for both of them, but TY decides to swap Ryung and INnoVation instead, finalizing the group of death in Group B.

SC2 Flash < BW Flash - in SC2 he was nowhere near best terrans
Parting best Protoss of all time? seriously?

it is at worst close call but certainly not so onesided as you try to suggest

At the time Flash was the 2nd best Terran. And he said "of the time" (as in for those months in 2013), not "of all time", regarding PartinG.

Prediction:
A) (T)TY (T)aLive
B) (T)INnoVation (Z)soO
C) (P)herO[jOin] (T)Ryung
D) (P)sOs (T)KeeN

Interesting groups. Group B is ridiculous tbh. I would still think that the Life, Parting, Flash and Innovation group was harder though tbh

Prediction time,

A: TY, aLive
B: Dark, INnoVation
C: herO, Ryung
D: Maru, Bunny

I really don't know about group A so I just went with my Terran bias. And I dont think sOs can beat the terrans in his current form.

Group B is a formidable Group of Death, and the strongest we've had in a couple years.
But there's no way it matches up to the hype of 2013.

Inno and Dark are on top of the world, but as good as Classic and soO are, they're pretty outclassed here. Classic complained in an interview about how much he loses against Dark, and soO went 2-9 against Inno recently in addition to having been notably defeated twice by him in the finals (GSL and IEM respectively).

Compared to 2013, when it was actually the four best players in the world. Soulkey was arguably better, but that's a stretch.
The group of Parting, Life, Inno and Flash has never been equaled before or since.


PartinG and Flash retired, Life isn't around anymore, but INnoVation, for all his ups and downs, is once again the best around four years later. Talk about tenacity.

Anyone who voted C or D should lose their voting privileges.

Also 2013 group comfortably better.

Coming back to the present, we can look at their recent results for predictions:
Inno can beat Dark, Classic, and soO
Dark can beat Inno and Classic
Classic can beat soO
soO can beat Dark

So we get Inno and Dark in the winner's match, which is pretty much a coinflip. If Dark loses, he might get knocked out by soO, but for that to happen soO has to beat Classic, which is a long shot. If Inno loses I doubt either Classic or soO can take him out.

Inno and Dark to advance.

At least not in sc2, there was (were?) some really hard group in bw, consisting of Jaedong, Bisu, Flash and Sea
