my predictions are exactly the same other than leenock > MMA.

Which is a bad sign for me because no matter how accurate these kinds of analyses are, bo1 means anything can happen.

as a MMA fan I liked MLG's predictions more.

really hoping MMA beats Polt and wins this group though, oh and that Nestea crushes Naniwa.

GO NANIWA! The chosen One to bring glory upon all non-korean.

Still quite a few dramaqueens regarding the Nestea-Nani-MLG-"""""Incident""""". You should watch the Blizz Cup Press conference where Nani and NesTea talks to each other and NesTea says "Im good!" and thumbs up naniwa etc.
Take it from NesTea HIMSELF: ITS ALL GOOD FUN

Nice predictions ^^.. Just give me NesTea vs NaNiwa in the finals and its all good.

I felt like someone told MVP how stephano played and he simply said that's it? Watch this counter

Twilight loses all its remaining comedic value when you see it for the second time (like this joke).

Nice write up, I liked the Group B predictions at the end.

Watching Naniwa swagger will never get old.

+ Show Spoiler +

Let's see, and if you put all those predictions together, we would get...

Leenock: 2-2
Polt: 2-2
MMA: 2-2
Nestea: 2-2
Naniwa: 2-2

Oh.


Fionn trolled us all!
lololol
but ya it is honestly impossible to truly predict who will get out of this group
Polt fighting!!!!
Long live the Boss Toss!

"Reason: Naniwa will try to trick Leenock by going for a FFE. Sadly, somehow, someway, Leenock will see it coming, rush with roaches and end the match before it hits the ten-minute mark."

I laughed really hard at that! Good article!

This is an extremely informative write up and I applaud Fionn for not picking Polt to sweep the group. Really though, I cant wait for this round to kick off, the games should be super good

I foresee Naniwa dropping a pylon, a forge, and then cannon rushing as everyone expects him to FFE and will be surprised by it.

Then he will walk out of the booth awkwardly and laugh (more awkwardly) at Nestea.

Then the universe will collapse in on itself as they attempt to interview Naniwa, as the awkward toss collapses from the sheer weight of awkwardness.

...

Or maybe he'll go back to the 4gate toss he was way back when.

I think Polt and Leenock are both going to get out of this group somehow.... The other one to get out I dunno... whoever wins between MMA and NesTea is my bet . (sorry Naniwa and Naniwa fans, but I think he's going 0-4)

it would be pretty humourous if everyone did end up 2-2
having to have all the matches replayed, only to end up with 2-2s again...but just wth different/mixed up results.
Infinite loops of games!!!
or..they could just give the title to MVP....

haha Waxangel you day 1 review was nice.

"someone's mind breaking over the course of 90 minutes. Fascinating, in a kind of sadistic way"

Totally agree with you on that part. What I saw from Hero vs DRG blew my mind I felt like someone has hacked hero account or drugged him
