too bad we couldn't get the group E writeup a little sooner (maybe with code A preview?) but all good articles nonetheless.
i think it'll be a naniwa>supernova and genius>supernova for a double protoss victory
well won

Common, please stop that "spoiler" crying. We all watched the GSL, we just here to read what TL thinks.
Every sports sites buts the spoilers straight in front, it is expected.
TL is not here to substitute the excitement of watching the VoDs.

Naniwa is probably my favorite foreign player, but come on...no one in the sc2 scene can be mentioned in the same sentence as Flash.

GOGO Naniwa, stick it to all the koreans who have disliked you since your probu build, haha.

Weirder things have happened in PvP. Also genius is inconsistent, don't let his recent results fool you.

I wonder if people will still doubt Virus after he wins a GSL Championship. I wonder if doubting him is more genetic than anything else. I don't necessarily think he's going to win a championship, but I think some people have a genetic predisposition for counting him out.

I think the same way, so weird. Even Genius, last Gsl finalist, win easily his group, prediction says he loses 2 pvp bo3 against naniwa, lol xD

I can't see any of these players be close to Naniwa, as stupid as it sounds for some Naniwa would eat Genius a live in any kind of extended series, obviously he could get lucky but naniwa should win 9/10 PvP vs genius. And there no terrans in the world except Polt, Mkp and Jakjii that can stand up to Naniwa. Supernova and Virus best have some really good cheese in store to have any chance to take a map vs Nani.

In the ro 32 thread with naniwa I predicted Naniwa not dropping a map (I was wrong as he did drop one map) and I offer up the same prediction again.

Everyone underrates Genius so much, he's fooling everybody with his "got lucky last season". I bet we will see Genius in ro4 at least this season as well. He's a sneaky player imho!

Maybe if he goes against Virus (the guy who looked so good against MC), but really:

Genius has never looked "bad" in PvP. He does have a loss to Naniwa in a Bo1 of course and it is PvP so anything goes. But still Genius has beaten most great PvPers except Oz and never lost a Bo3 PvP in GSL. Really have no idea how you think Genius should lose 9/10 PvPs to Naniwa, maybe 5/10.

Cheese or not, Supernova has always had pretty freaking good TvP. He had a poor season 1 with TvP, but in march he's beaten out Creator, Seed and Genius. If those aren't 3 good Protoss players you're crazy.

Basically, if Naniwa doesn't drop a map I'll be shocked. Does he have a chance of getting through? Yeah sure he does, he probably got the best group of the lot. Would I put any money on it: no. Genius would get my money. Beyond that not as sure.

I think Koreans are being cautious of Virus because his recent success is the most bizarre aberration you're going to see in the competitive scene. Generally players have meteoric rises (Maru, MMA), slow and steady success (DRG, Hero, Life, Creator), burn bright and flame out (Yonghwa, Sage), or get stuck at a certain level and/or gradually decline (Supernova, sC). People don't play mediocre for an entire year and start kicking ass randomly. Genius did it last season and it immediately shook up the entire power structure of the GSL; people didn't know how to deal with his improved play and Genius smashed the opposition on his way to the finals. Now Virus is stepping up and guys don't want to face someone who's an unknown quantity, the worst thing you could have in a prep-based tournament where anyone can conceivably beat anyone else.
