I see it mostly Naniwa making it through, and possibly Puzzle. MVP and Ryung's TvP isn't all that great, and both Toss players should be able to beat them. Another night of Code S Terrans getting eliminated sadly

Naniwa won't get last because Lucky isn't in the group to be his kryptonite.

If naniwa doesnt provide an awesome game like Huk did in the up and downs, ill be very disappointed.

But given his group, he has a good chance of advancing

Although there are good terrans in this group, its hard to put past the fact that they are against 2 tosses.

Puzzle and Naniwa can chargelot/storm their way to the next round unless Mvp beats ryung and does some new strats.

I dunno.
Liquid`Ryung.
Ryung paid us at IPL4 for more exposure.
It was the easiest way to photoshop the picture.
There was no resizing, his head is actually to scale.

6. Its a real photo where Ryung is closer to the camera. Puzzle is actually a disembodied face that looks like the Liquipedia logo.

Naniwa is a code S seed. For sure he is going 0-2

All I know is that anytime I bet against Puzzle, he always proves me wrong.

I am really praying that Naniwa makes it. I'm not a Naniwa fanboy or anything, but I do like the seed bonus system since it can throw unpredictable elements into Code S, such as an outsider surprising people and winning.

lol@ Naniwa beating puzzle. He'll choke again and even if he played his best I'd give puzzle a 3:1 edge.

I just hope MVP wins and Nani is eliminated. Between Puzzle and Ryung I don't really care, but I'd prefer Ryung to qualify, so there won't be so many terran tears this day.

Isn't the only reason for MVP "slump" his wrist injury which has gotten worse? Its not really a slump if you're badly injured.

Also how did Naniwa get into code S? Where'd he get seeded from? I missed that.

The ways players get into Code S:

- 8 from last seasons Round of 8
- 12 from Code A Round 3
- 10 from the Up and Down matches
- the last 2 spots are given out by GOM, they call it seeds for really good performance in (foreign) tournaments. Naniwa got his for his performance at MLG Winter Arena.

I was just about ready to throw Naniwa under the bus and say he had no chance to advance in the great foreigner tradition but... Startale is playing extremely well this season and startale protoss (Parting and Squirtle) seem especially on fire, this should be a really interesting group.
