2) My mistake - Mvp vs. Feast is actually a Best of 5! This only makes it more likely that Mvp will advance.
3) Team Liquid has posted their preview:

Mvp must be feeling confident coming into this match. He has good reason to, having gone on a blistering run in the recent IEM World Championship. Combined with the current strength of Terran, more specifically their Turbovacs™, there is no reason why Mvp shouldn't take an easy win. Mvp is showing off a side of him we haven't seen in a while, one that encompasses large amounts of drops and aggression. He destroyed Grubby and Mana in IEM, and they are arguably better players than Feast.
That is not to say Feast is completely down and out. Mvp has not had much, if any time to practice between IEM and MLG whereas Feast has had as much practice time as he could ever want in the limited days after HotS release. He'll also have had time to watch all of Mvp's games carefully, and he may have found a weakness to exploit. Even so, Mvp is undoubtedly the favorite in this match by a country mile. Many top players have tried to unlock the puzzle that is Mvp, and many of them have failed. Mvp is mechanically and strategically better than Feast, and that's neglecting the fact that Terran are looking stronger than Protoss at the moment. I predict a very easy victory for Mvp.
Prediction: Mvp 3 - 0 Feast
Axslav says: "Mvp went 5-0 vs European Protosses at IEM World Championship utilizing the medivac's ignite afterburners to great effect, does Feast have an answer for this TvP style?"

4) Finally, my own preview:

TvP: 83.3%

PvT: 0.0%
Head to Head Record: 2-0 (100.0%)
Everyone is in a buzz talking about the resurgence of Mvp's form at LG-IEM World Championship. Even though Mvp did not win the tournament, his name value combined with the sheer quality of play he displayed and his champion aura certainly made heads turn. His series against Grubby and his matches against MaNa were hilariously one-sided. Feast is an awesome player, no doubt, but so is Grubby and so is MaNa. What will stop Mvp vs. Feast from being similarly one-sided?
This is the King we are talking about, and he won't just be the King of Wings - he will be the Emperor of the Swarm.
Prediction
Mvp 3-0 Feast
