MKP will lose to Losira first round and then take the longest road possible to the finals, where he will inevitably lose to MVP.

I don't agree with Nani vs Grubby, I feel like Grubby will take it. He's actually really good at pvp.

Picking Ganzi over DRG. Dayum.


That pick is still a lot more reasonable than predicting a 2-1 Nestea over Demuslim. Can't see Demuslim taking a single game.

I know stats isn't everything, but Naniwa's 10 latest games in PvP is 9 wins, and his winrate in pvp since August is 80%. I'd say it's fair to say Naniwa is the favorite in the matchup.

when did Mvp take the title of best TvZ player from MMA?

id like to see a mkp mvp finals again though lol


Mvp really is the best at TvZ when he isn't having wrist problems. (Or at least, he used to be before the ghost nerf)

His endgame mass ghost/PF composition just tears zerg apart, where MMA has an incredibly fun but shakier TvZ. If it had been Mvp playing in the game 7 of Blizzcup it would have been over about 15 minutes quicker and in a much less exciting fashion. MMA has an amazing TvT and one of the best TvZ in the world but I still give Mvp the edge in TvZ (until the patch..)

And yeah, as soon as he fixes his CTS he will start to dominate again, you can hold me to it.


The ghost style in TvZ is going to be severely weakened post patch though...

As for the hypothetical if MVP were in the Blizzcup finals, DRG never gave MMA the breathing room to transition into ghosts. The game was incredibly close, and going mass ghost requires substantial economy and production time, which no Terran player could have done under the pressure that DRG was applying.

As for who is a better TvZ player right now, MMA or MVP, I would personally say MMA, simply because the ghost nerf will greatly weaken MVP's style.

Some good points, you may be right. I definitely agree that this patch will kill Mvp's ZvT (which makes me so sad), it was always so beautiful to see his lategame vZ control.

I think Sheth and MarineKing will both win. Unfortunately, I agree with most of the other picks (DeMusliM TT). This is such a loaded tournament. Can't wait to see how it pans out.

Didn't know MVP was injured. Any precise info about that ?

(By the way, MC plays for SK gaming, love it or not.)
SC2 is the best game to watch and was the best to play before I grew old and slow...
