The high protoss count adds a nice touch of uncertainty to this tourney.. Without them they might as well just hand the prize over to MMA already

White Ra rolled Kas pretty convincingly in a series Husky casted/ I saw awhile ago. He didn't play perfect, (gave away a couple free units and had one really bad engage) but he looked good otherwise playing pretty standard.

That said, I don't see anyone here who is a serious competitor to MMA. His TvP may be under 50%, but the sheer quality of his opponents in Korea vs. these foreigners is huge. Well, maybe the sheer amount of Toss will stop him.

Exactly my thoughts. However, I would really love to see Dimaga and WhiteRa advance deeply as well.

it may not be fair to place america's hopes on qxc, but he can do it.

He's already one of the best players right now, and once he fully commits, he will have tournament results up the wazoo

Im sorry but MMA will take this. It has nothing to do with tvp not being his strongest but he's just a much better player

Grubby was not cleless in shoutcraft invitational. He won against ret only to lose to him coming in forth place. A forth place is not that bad.

I hope MMA's TvP skills improved a lot seeing all those protoss... Then again, he practices with HuK, Puzzle and Brown regulary...

I've seen Huk, Naniwa, and Thorzain all complaining about technical issues. Anyone know what exactly is going on?
EDIT: Nevermind, got clarified over on Carmac's post.
