While not the super Group of Death that Group A was, Group D promises some exciting games from its players. free is the rising star of Hanbit, who tore up last season's proleague and made an impressive run in Korea's WCG. firebathero, known for his "ceremonies", also had a great run last season finishing in the semifinals of the OSL after eliminating the Godzerg, sAviOr. Canata is one of SKT's many terran aces. Known as much for his solid play as his tendency to choke in televised matches. And finally Fake YellOw a.k.a. Yarnc brings up the last of the group. He is part of the Zerg Twins along with his brother Luxury and form OGN's premier Zerg line up.

Predictions
free > firebathero @ Loki II
I think free has the advantage unless FBH decides to cheese him like he did the last two times they played in the OSC. free despite the naysayers, has shown some incredibly solid PvT play, taking out big-name juggarnauts Flash (in Flash's first televised TvP loss), Midas, and Sea. FBH has suffered recent losses to the Protoss race, losing games to Nal_Rock and Stork in recent time.
Canata > Yarnc
Canata is relatively solid in most of his matchups, but suffers from a stage fright which, even after seasons of gaming, he has still not gotten rid of. He hasn't played many games versus Zerg recently, the few games he has played being wins against less-than-stellar Zergs Clon and YellOw. Yarnc is basically the lesser version of his twin brother Luxury and so I think Canata has the advantage here, if he can get over his stage fright.
