Polt for sure, if his TvP is on point. Parting *should*, just based on the fact that Fin and Polt are here, but it depends how his PvP vs Oz goes. Overall, really good MUs tonight.

Parting / Polt is the only tough call I think, and I went with Parting because it starts on Entombed. I don't really expect Oz to do anything amazing tonight. forGG will likely beat Oz, and then lose to Parting and Polt.

Fin and Parting to advance for me, Polt I think is getting oversold and I don't think his travel has done any favors to his practice.

What was their second match? I just remember Polt getting smashed 2-0 in GSL November.

When Polt swept Fin in FXO Invitational?

Rooting for Polt and ForGG. The less Protoss we have in GSL, the better the games will be.

Parting and Polt for me. This group is really hard to predict and who knows what Fin has been up to while every other Korean has been in Vegas.

Can't wait for the games.

I really don't want it to happen, but I'm pretty confident Polt will go through.

Honestly though, I'm not a big fan of the playstyles of anybody in this group.

Tough group to call, but I'm gonna go with PartinG/Oz. A few reasons for this:

1.) While his raw PvT stats don't look particularly dominating, Oz has almost all of his most recent PvT losses attributed to MMA and Jjakji. GSL Code S Nov., wins against MMA in a close 3-2 score, then lost to Jjakji with another close 2-3 score. Jjakji went on to win the tournament. On paper, that's only 50% PvT, but the results still have him either beating or nearly beating GSL champions in PvT. After that, in GSL 2012 Season 1, he wins against Supernova 2-1 (still close, but again, beating a beastly Terran and TvP powerhouse) but loses to MMA twice, both 1-2 scores (again, close). At the end of the day, you really can't count him out in PvT, despite it looking bad on paper with an overall 43.48% win rate.

2.) Polt has been travelling a lot. He's the most likely of the two Terrans to advance vs. Protoss, but fatigue could weigh in and affect his play. His TvT also isn't the strongest, so if he ends up going against Fin in the loser's match, there's a decent chance he could go out 0-2 in the group before even facing Oz.

3.) Should Oz beat Fin, Oz is quite a confident PvP player, so just like how Polt could go out 0-2, Oz could just as easily advance 2-0. Also don't see Fin beating PartinG.

Group is so close though, we could just as easily see the opposite. ~o~ Tough, tough...

I want Parting to go through, and erm...
Sorry Fionn, but I don't buy the Polt super hype (he's good, but not crazy sick awesome good), but then again, I've never really felt Oz, at least not for awhile, and, well frankly, fuck ForGG.
Actually, no, he's not too bad (bit cocky) but I find his fans the most annoying of everyone, especially some of the TL Staff (sorry, but you know who you are ~) who praised him like no tomorrow for beating a now acknowledged to be overhyped Sage, and slumping July and Polt, and everyone else who declared him randomly top 5 best players in the world.
T_T rant over.
Parting and Polt (just because <3 Fionn) please.
