" In a rare, illuminating interview with ThisIsGame, Mvp revealed his upbringing in a poor family..."
Sounds interesting. Where can I find this int?

Yeah, the article was falling in line with my predictions until I saw that basically hero wins everything except a coin flip...

I mean, I don't doubt that MVP can be beaten in TvP, but on evidence along that's a long shot in itself. Hero's PvZ is decent, and though it's DRG's worst MU it's also Stephano's best MU. To be honest, MC's PvT is still above hero's PvT, so if anyone has a chance at shaking MVP's "weak" MU it's going to be MC.

Not saying Hero can't make it, in my prediction I have a 3 way tie for second with MVP at the top, but it's hard to miss bias when you go "Here's head to head stats...I think Hero will take it".

Good article but it can be pretty hard to get re-elected in the middle of an awful economic crisis, I predict MC > Obama in 2012.

I agree, MVP's weakest match up is vP, and he hasn't had time to prepare for blizz cup.

HerO is my hero, but he certainly can't be deemed the best Korean protoss considering his KOREAN performance is less than subpar. Him and Puma only look super good to foreigners because they have most opportunities to play internationally, consider the scenario where the every single participant of GSL had the same opportunities as Hero and Puma, and most likely they wouldnt "achieve" so much.

Nice writeup, though I disagree with the predictions. But then again, mine are always wrong.

I don't see HerO winning against MVP, the writer is obviously biased in his predictions.

I've felt Hero has had some nervousness being on the big stage in the past.
Although it looks like that might have become a thing of the best with his recent performance, I think this might come back in the equation performing in Korea. His performance may be evident of this or it might have been all the traveling.
Either way, I certainly hope these predictions are true.

Way to hype HerO lol, I think everything seems pretty accurate except the hero hype but I guess it's what you get if he's on your team. :D

My bet will be probably MVP first and DRG/MC second

I foresee this tournament becoming the final downfall of the Stephano hype.

yeah, not sure how he can be considered the top protoss in the world. In Dreamhack he was 1-1 against koreans (lost vs DRG, beat Puma) and in NASL he was 1-1 as well (beat hwangsin, lost vs Puma) and also beat sen. Then in code A he beat crazymoving before losing to asd. That is not nearly as impressive as it seems.

Would love stephano to take the third spot... but i fear this group is just too much. Could be DRG up there instead of MC or Hero too though.

So hyped for this event! Does anyone know if it's free streaming on GOM or is it going to be like AoL?
If we fear what we do not understand, then why is ignorance bliss?

The write-up this time was a bit meh, to be honest. A wee bit too much HerO bias, as others have said. He's not exactly an unstoppable force...
