As much as I am a huge Stephano fanboy who is awed every time I see him play, I have to agree with the sentiment of this preview. Stephano plays a specific, safe style possibly better than anyone else in the world, but that's not good enough to beat well prepared Koreans in a tournament setting.

Unless Stephano's been preparing something special, things will be pretty depressing 12 hours from now.

Drg is the mOst consistent player out of all these players. If he does not win the tour ament he enters he usually places 2 or 3 that's impressive. team liquid writers lol

So much bias lol, but other than that it was a good article.



And everyone knows that MVP is gonna 4-0 the group.

Hero is awesome, but when did he get the title "best korean protoss"...

his KOREAN results certainly don't indicate so, he's been ripping the foreign scene, but that's about it, and it's only because he was given the opportunity to due to his priviledge being on TL a foreign team.

Way to harsh on MC! I can see it being really tight, I really doubt stephano will even will a single game for some reason. MVP seems like the safest bet to win this, but if he doesn't, DRG HerO or MC can easily take it, I think it would be awesome if MC were to win, I feel like it will be a 4 way tie :S
MC 2-2
MVP 2-2
DRG 2-2
HerO 2-2
Stephano 0-4
Kinda feel bad doubting the stephano so much, but oh well, its always better when your surprised!

only on a team liquid writeup would someone put Hero above MVP
