If there's a common thread in many TL predictions, it's how often people actually underrate Koreans in international competitions. A Korean can go 100-1 and people will latch on the 1 as proof that Koreans aren't ahead. Just ridiculous how often people predict them to have a losing record then rage at the results. It's pretty obvious before the matches that MC is not going 0-3.

And less than friendly is a pretty good description at some of the comments about the predictions.

Reading these comments are a fucking joke
"I wouldn't be surprised if puma didn't make it out, his group is stacked"
"Personally I think kas can give MC a run for his money, i think he'll finish first."
What the FUCK!? Do you guys realize how much MC and puma outclass their oponents?!
Fucking biased european trash (not insulting all europeans, just the retarded biased ones).

First time being able to say, it looks like EG has a great shot at a 1 2 finish.

Tell that to Killer/Sangho or Nada/Huk if you remember Assembly... :p

Yes, Koreans are favorites. No they are not unbeatable.

You can look at GSTL results where foreigners can win (for some reason they can't in Code A :D).
You can look at Huk's very recent results...

They are favorites, but the margin is not as big as some guys make it out to be. As soon as a Korean is not bringing his A game, he falls.

Wow Huk is out of the tournament. May be it is not such a good idea to play in one week on 3 continents (Blizzard Invitational/GSL/IEM). May be the players needs a couple of days to play their a-game.

Oh boy, Huk took his new team thing to heart. It still sucked to see him write out EG in pylons, but he has definitely been playing like a real member of EG recently, so there you have it.

Please just don't start complaining about balance!

Yeah eventually he wasn´t focused 100% because of the team change but he just arrived in Germany (from Korea) and I think he was too tired. He had his good moments but he was too sloppy. Nevertheless the other players in his group are also very good.

"Fucking biased european trash (not insulting all europeans, just the retarded biased ones)."

You are calling people trash because of thinking that kas can give a mc a round for his money? You really gotta work on your attitude man. And btw, Mana is proving just atm that puma is not outclassing everyone in his group. Actually it looks like mana is easily 2-0ing puma...
With great power comes great responsibility.
