why cant Flash beat Rain? Because you said so? I mean no way Flash is gonna 4-0 Rain but if they would play right now, i'd say i it would be a pretty close and entertaining series. Who wins.. dunno, but it could be 4-2/4-3 either way

I get your point, but I think Rain is too solid to be defeated by a terran, (maybe a zerg can beat him). Also, (this might not be too convincing for you, but for me it is), Zest has weaker vT than Rain does, so basically if Zest can beat Flash then Rain can beat Flash, because Zest has a similar playstyle in PvT than Rain, which is macro over micro (most of the time), unlike PartinG, which is quite agressive. To be honest, I think the only terran in the world who can beat Zest or Rain is Taeja.

Soulkey hasn't looked so threatening lately, and I say that as a fan of his.
Could be the season he returns to form, but there was a reason he was picked first at the group selections.
Group A: Zest+a Terran (because Soulkey is bad these days) Group B: Anyone but Solar. I think sos+Effort Group C: Maru and Stats (who is going to win this Season) Group D: Flash (since only one MU) and anyone of the others (because soO's dominance doesnt prevent him from randomly getting cheesed out in ZvZ)
After watching the VODs, It's kind of funny most players especially the last 2 players to get chosen (Stats and even Flash) agreed that group C is the group of death.
But look at the statistic and performance at GSL last season, only Maru made it past Ro8. While Parting and Innovation only made to Ro16. On the other hand Group A and D has 2 players at Ro8 last season.

DRG is clearly the worst player in the group...but did you see TRUE play ro32? He was terrifying; got the raw end of the build order multiple times and still won, sometimes handily. He is a coin-flip vs Flash.
Flash destroyed his group with 2x two rax and 1x dark using roach/hydra, and 1x Solar is sloppy, so I'm not convinced he's invincible just yet.
I feel like people are really dumping on DRG here... which is understandable given his long slump, but guy has been posting some good results lately. He didn't look amazing in the RO32, but it's worth remembering the Redbull Battlegrounds Global recently. He won the thing, smashing players like Solar who people apparently think are better, not to mention other players like Polt. I do suspect DRG might have some mental block or psychological problem with GSL considering his good results elsewhere recently, though... if he does get knocked out of this group no contest, that's gonna seem even more the case.
