First Match

Mvp
TvT Lifetime: 66.39%
TvT 2012-2013: 54.76%
TvT Last 10: 70%

KeeN
TvT Lifetime: 42.31%
TvT 2012-2013: 40.00%
TvT Last 10: 40%

Head to Head Record: 3-1 (75.0%)
Starting Map: Akilon Flats

Mvp's first opponent is KeeN, a fellow Korean Terran. KeeN is an odd one; he seems to be a good Code A to Code S level Terran who can occasionally surprise people by beating high profile players. However, the statistics show that Mvp is simply superior to KeeN in TvT. In fact, TvT has been the match-up of Mvp that never really degrades and there are no balance issues with TvT to worry about. Generally speaking, Mvp can be counted on to be pretty consistent in this match-up, and the main people he loses to are MMA (but not anymore) and TaeJa when TaeJa is hot.

Mvp's recent form has looked worrying with his worst night ever at Blizzard Cup 2012 and a 0-3 loss to goswser, but those are TvP and TvZ. He has still won 7 of the last 10 TvTs and KeeN beating Mvp would truly be a big upset at this stage. I'll go ahead and say that Mvp takes this 2-0.

The Rest of the Night

Mvp
TvZ Lifetime: 59.79%
TvZ 2012-2013: 52.94%
TvZ Last 10: 20%

MarineKing
TvT Lifetime: 56.39%
TvT 2012-2013: 73.58%
TvT Last 10: 40%
Head to Head Record: 18-4 (81.8%)

RorO
ZvT Lifetime: 72.22%
ZvT Last 10: 60%
Head to Head Record: 0-0

Against RorO, Mvp will certainly have the toughest time. Mvp's TvZ looked absolutely abysmal (0-3 loss to goswser, 0-2 loss to Stephano, and terrible losses at Blizzard Cup 2012) while RorO seems to be fairly good in the matchup. Never count Mvp out, but at this point, I think it's safe to favor nearly any Zerg against Mvp until Mvp gets his TvZ together. The new patch might benefit Mvp though. Still, RorO will be a good test for Mvp because RorO is the type of Zerg that Mvp should beat. If Mvp wants the last Wings of Liberty championship, Mvp will need to compete with the Lifes and DongRaeGus of the world, not the RorOs.

Even though MarineKing has shown superb skill in TvT during 2012, MarineKing will never ever beat Mvp. Ever. It's that simple - MarineKing is the punching bag and Mvp is the fist headed towards MarineKing's head, ready to crush MarineKing's dreams into dust. Hey, that's been their relationship so far!

Overall Predictions
MarineKing < RorO
Mvp > KeeN
RorO > Mvp
MarineKing > Keen
Mvp > MarineKing

Mvp advances to the Round of 16 in 2nd place!

Btw Squirtle joining IM would be so awesome. Just imagine the trio of Yonghwa, Seed and Squirtle... Only their terran lineup seems to be rather week nowadays, because Mvps wrist just exploded
