HerO over MVP? I dunno about that. I think MVP should make it out easy, but the last spot is tough to call. I want it to be a zerg and my best shot is Leenock, but I really hate to not root for July. :/

I'm not a natural english but this seems weird to me :

NaNiwa's positioning to take down an under-defended nexuses.

Shouldn't it be two under-defended nexuses or an under-defended nexus, but not one nexuses ?

I'll finish reading now..

I'm hoping July makes it through. It's unlikely, but he's come back from worse slumps than this.

Don't really kno who should get the second place in this group to be the easiest opponent for Nani. probably July, but PvZ is probably nanis worst math-up. So maybe Hero because nani kicks asses in PvP, but HerO is a beast. Maybe MVP because TvP is his worst match-up, but if MVP gets back to his old shape he will probably destroy anyone. Leenock seems to be the toughest opponent. But really hard to guess. Anyways, I really hop nani can advance further! Go Nani, first foreign GSL Champion would be a dream :D

The only realistic way leenock and july advanc, which happens to be very possible, is july and leenock both beat their sets.

July> mvp
Leenock>hero

And then mvp knocks out hero

and either leenock or july take out mvp. With leenock and july having close to the best zvt right now, double knock outs on mvp look likley. Also Im still under the impression mvps wrist are fucked and he cant practice I jut think hes THAT good and passed anyway. But now he's going against top class zvt. I mean top class, so He needs to be mvp, or he'll lose. Luck wont help.

Wow. How can you not be super happy for Naniwa given all of the drama that has surrounded his career in the past few months. He deserves alot of credit for what he has accomplished, and here's to hoping he can keep the run going.

HerO and Leenock would be best, because we need a Zerg, but I also dont want a weak Mvp, he needs to crush people!

So impressed by Naniwa! This group looked impossible, but he somehow made it through first place without having to face Supernova... Pure awesomeness though

Great writeup as well! When you like me miss the livestream, this is the only good source of info about the matches

MVP hasn't really been practicing but his knowledge of the game is keeping him in code S. If he gets out of this group, it'll be because his wrists aren't hurting as much due to resting.
