Default win group/lose group

These days here in this country, people or
organizations tend to be divided (by some people)
into two groups: those who have achieved success
(especially IT-related people) and those who are
left behind.
Do the terms 'win group' and 'lose group' work?
Thank you.

I'd use 'winners and losers'.

I see. Thank you very much.
How about 'winner group' and 'loser
group' if we are referring to groups.
"He is now in the loser group."
No?

Default Re: win group/lose group

I think it's correct to say
winner group and loser group
I have already read them

Regard
