All his team mates will be there as well. If he wins this, it could be really nice with everyone there to celebrate with. To be honest, he has the easiest group so far. Stephano and WhiteRa are nowhere near the level of MC, Nestea, MMA and so on. I wouldn't expect him to win the whole thing. That would be too nice to be true. But he wil make a good run and show great games, and that's I'm looking forward to. | ||

We never know… First, for this MLG, I didn't expect him to win twice, he did… I think he really has good chance to win. Just my opinion. | ||

MMA is a strong contender but he is not invincible in TvT. PartinG is very strong and Byun / Curious as well but those who will be in the open tourney will have such a hard time they are not likely to win. I'm not too scared for him in TvZ/TvP except the top top players, I don't really know in TvT but he is already in groupstages so he has a shot. I'd say 50% chance of him winning the tourney =) | ||

I'm liking his chances. | ||

This is true, but there are 2 more people joining each group aswell and to be fair he actually dismantled DRG twice in 2 finals of MLG which was recent, he also dismantled his Code S group, beat Leenock in GSTL. Well let's see MC is a protoss, even though MC is superb from time to time he can have awful days aswell also MKP's TvP is the best in the world atm without any doubt. Nestea havent looked good in a couple of months now, MMA have been doing fairly okey lately. I haven't seen that much from his recent play, but he did play kinda sloppy in Iron Squid to name one, he also lost to Choya or something in a qualifier recently. Jjakji's TvT is really poor for the most part. I don't want to sound like MKP is gonna crush this tournament, maybe he will maybe he won't but MKP is on fire atm and we shouldn't get negative  | ||

I'd say 50% chance of him winning the tourney =) Heheh, 50% is a bit pushing it I'd say However I do think Foxer is the favorite to win this tournament, I'd maybe put him at 5.00 to win, with MMA second at 6.00 or something of the sort... Foxer has the best tvp in the world by far at the moment, so I don't see him losing to a toss, as he convincingly defeated probably the best PvT players (Parting and MC) at MLG. TvZ he's also really strong atm, it's between him and MMA for who has the best TvZ, meaning that it's unlikely that he will lose to a Z, with DRG also not beeing there, the biggest z threats are leenock, nestea and stephano. All 3 of which Foxer is favored against I'd say. What it comes down to for me is 2 things: 1) His TvT, as all the strongest terrans in the world (MMA, MVP, Jjakji, Bomber, Puma, Polt, Taeja, Maru, Byun etc.) are here and he'll probably meet them in the groups or in the later stages. I hope he's practiced a lot of TvT, as I feel this will be the key to winning the most important matches. 2) His general condition with regard to the fact that he also has to play and prepare for GSTL. I'm not sure about the schedule but I hope GSTL is on Saturday before all the IPL games, so that he could only have to play his first 2 games in groups (vs stephano and white ra) before having to play in GSTL. Once GSTL is finished he could hopefully gather his thoughts and prepare the best builds + prepare mentally for the rest of the games. I just hope his attention is not spread too thinly between both competitions and that hurts him. In any case, I'll be cheering hardcore for Foxer as usual. Gogogogo | ||

TvP no other terran is as good as him in the match-up (except maybe Byun) so he should do fine. His TvT has improved a lot and he raped a lot of terrans, the only real theat here will be the "randomness" of TvT and if another terran is on fire. The TvT monsters Byun and MMA (there are others but they will most likely drop out before reaching MarineKing because of TvP or TvZ or even against another strong terrans), and maybe TaeJa, will still struggle in TvP (MMA) or TvZ '(Byun) so if MarineKing plays it in full form he can win. So I'd say 50% if he has almost only TvP/TvZ in his path, 20 to 40% depending of the terrans and their condition. =) Gogo Prime & MarineKing =D | ||

Nestea ended up taking the game on Cloud Kingdom after forcing MKP to evacuate the main and losing his natural (he holed up in the third). Not very indicative, but I'm mostly pointing at that Nestea can still take games off of him (though it was just ladder). They're both very good players. | ||
