RO8, not RO16. Nothing's guaranteed during RO16

Last season almost every group felt like it had 2 guaranteed winners. This season's ro32 feels much more stacked even though it's mostly the same players.

Groups A, C, F, and G could easily be ro16 groups.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

F is the group of death for me. TY and Trap are obviously ro16/ro8 level, but Ragnarok and Bunny are underrated and have a lot of potential to go far

Pretty hyped for this season. Nice line up. Reynor and Special are so dead tho. Neeb i dont know... alive is a mistery to me but he can beat Losira .

I don't see it. TY is clearly above the rest of his group. Trap is a bit above Bunny and Bunny a bit above Rag, but overall those 3 aren't that far apart. But Rag and Bunny aren't players I see as having the ability to go deeper than Ro16 at this point. Ragnarok, as much as I like him honestly I don't think he would advance from any Ro32 group this season.

Group D for example has 3 players who actually have the potential to make it to the Ro8 and not being a surprise.

Reynor's in a tough group, but Neeb and Special are both in groups they could (probably should) make it out of. Maybe we'll actually get a foreigner in Ro16 this season?

I could see Neeb but SpeCial is in one of the hardest groups.

Didn't know you had to be unbeatable to be favoured against Special and I guess soO got really lucky when Special should have gone to the blizzcon finals thanks to his superior TvZ.

soO's ZvT is trash by standards of soO, not standards of someone who can't make WCS finals.

Don't think soO is anywhere near his blizzcon form, I dont think there is a clear 2nd place in that group based on historical skill you would say soO on current form probably Keen but don't think special is that unfavoured.

Do you want to ban bet soO vs SpeCial?

soOs shape doesn't seem great, I agree, but that's still based on only making ro16 in a tournament Special failed to qualify for.
I think it's possible for Special to advance, but it's going to be tough and I do not think he is favoured at all.

Of course Rogue is the favorite of the group, but I feel like Special can handle KeeN and soO.

A group of death is the toughest group but the toughest group is not always a group of death. A true group of death is one in which every single participant can reasonably get out, possibly in any position.

I'd rank Group D as the hardest, but I don't see a world in which MMA gets out of the group, so it isn't a group of death.
