Seems to me the writer is totally underestimating the EU players. This isnt MLG tbh

Group A

BeastyQT is an absolut monster if MC isnt carefull I could see BeastyQT take the win. Kas is also looking for revenge after copenhagen cup where he was so nervous and he played really terrible im preatty sure that wont happend again. I woulnt be to supriced if MC cant make it out his group

Group B

After watching killer horrble PvP yesteday where he clearly showed he is weak in the micro side I dont expect him to win vs Socke. And im sure Select will slaughter him. + Diastar is actually very good he got a great TvT and TvP

Group C

Atm I rank huk at the best western player however he has been traveling so much so he gonna lack practise and he is up against the monster that is Nerchio and Tarson that got a strong TvP.

Im sorry but I think Nerchio and Tarson gonna take the 2 spots

Group D

Well Puma looked like a god in NASL and i would say in a heartbeat he gonna win all 3 of his matches but then i look at his opponents. Stephano is another EU monster zerg and he is a ZvT specialist so I think puma might lose to stephano. MaNa he is on beastmode atm he seems to have fixed his PvZ it was so horrible before he began to practise with Stephano. MaNa PvT is one of a kind in EU atm so if any protoss player can beat puma its MaNa. Remember MaNa took out NaDa in assemply a few weeks ago.

But yea its tough to predict but I dont think the koreans gonna dominate this tournament not vs these players.



I just wanna quote myself becuase im so proud of my predictions only thing i fecked up was i toally underestimated MC´s slump.

Reading these comments are a fucking joke
"I wouldn't be surprised if puma didn't make it out, his group is stacked"

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).


Really? Just because you don't know people's potentials you decide to call others trash that go against your notion of "zomg Koreans so amazing so above anyone will crush everything". Pathetic.

+ Show Spoiler +
Results speak otherwise. Puma losing 2-0 to mana and on the verge of going out vs Stephano. Really shouldn't call people trash just because they have a different opinion to you

Sad to see a 0-6 prediction for mOOnGLaDe. Hope he pulls through and causes some upsets just like the last IEM!

Just quoting myself now that the group stages are over.

Hope nobody put any money on these predictions... LOL

Seriously though, speculation and predictions are pretty futile in SC2. On any given day most top players can take maps off most other top players as shown by yesterdays results. Very volatile.

Yeah, well, foreigners like MC will never be able to quite reach the skill levels of real Korean pros like HuK.

That said, I think Mana can take 2nd in his group, he has such brilliant PvP openings and styles, and he has become much more solid in the last couple of months. Although SaSe's Korean training will certainly be in the Swede's favour.

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 best to play their a-game.


Why do you think MC couldn't place first in all the GSLs? He was too busy killing kids at foreign events to focus on Korean opponents.

PS. MaNa is oh so good
