Easily predictable, but I think the current state of TvP is so P favoured that MVP will fall out against NaNiwa unless he brings out some imba builds and naniwa nervs crack

lol have you not been watching pro games recently? Did you not see MKP beat the best PvT player in the world? I have seen pros make comments along the lines of the better player still wins most of the time and I have seen many Terran beat Protoss.

Hmm mvp vs foreign protoss in ro8... sounds familiar...

Except MVP is no longer the monster he was. And imo NaNiwa is better than HuK was, relative to his peers at the time.
But that could be the fanboy speaking.
Either way I genuinely think Nani has it.

I'm pretty sure the cries of protoss being underpowered are behind us.

Eat that doubters! Mvp didn't manage to reach Ro8 once in like forever? Oh, I guess he's in a deep slump and lost his dominance.

NO!

Beating one of the best ZvT players in the entire world while suffering serious health problems and securing his Code S spot again.

M V P fighting! You will always be the best. <3

Edit: Also thank you Leenock and Mvp for giving us such an epic last TvZ series for this season.

Great great congratulations out to Hero and MVP. Lots of people are super happy that both Naniwa and Hero made it through, them being crowd favorites and Naniwa being the foreigner hope.

And anyone who says they are happy all the Zergs are out are just super butt hurt from not being able to play against Zergs on ladder. Anytime an entire race gets eliminated by the RO8 hurts the tournament significantly, as apparent when Protoss were having trouble before too.

YES! HerO!!!!

Good to see MVP getting through again. Although I'm sad for the lack of Zergs.

A bit sad to see no zergs in the Ro8... Still, NaNiwa and HerO getting there is fine for me. I'm just going to cross my fingers for a PvP finals between the two, with NaNi edging out HerO (I blame my country for residence for this, sorry TL)

Ro8 will most likely give the best matches so far in 2012. The only bad thing is the lack of zergs but that's a minor thing as long as we don't have to watch too much TvT.

Kinda good for our foreign superstar that the rest of his matches are going to be mostly TvP and PvP which he seems to excel at...

NANIWA FIGHTING!!!

I feel like these Teamliquid's editorials always downplay IMMvp's CTS / condition, and how much can it affect your play not only in regards to speed, but everything. If anything, Mvp being able to get to freaking Round of 8 Code S with a condition like his, for as long as he had it, and without much practice (consequently), is a testament of just how good Mvp is.
