MKP is sitting in our warm up area. Kid traveled around the freaking globe to America with only clothes, a keyboard, mouse, and passport. No money, no wallet, nothing. Incredible lol.

It's hard not to jump to conclusions. MKP is a player known for his work ethic, a player who starts practicing earlier than the others, and turns his computer off only after others have long since gone to bed. While DongRaeGu certainly put in a lot of effort to win a GSL championship, it's easy to see how a player could lose some of their drive after winning it all, without even consciously noticing it. It's a simple explanation for a simple observation: One player tries harder, one player tries less. One gets better, one gets worse.

To be fair: HuK did have the easiest possible groups in - most - of his MLG runs.

Like the last arena, he only met 1 korean which wa Oz in a PvP. Given it is Oz and PvP beating him 2-0 was quite good, but he was absolutely demolished by DRG and Marineking.
Same goes for his the winter championship where he had to face only 1 "real" korean, in heart; a cheesy code A/B player. Who proceeded to beat him twice in the tournament. His most notable win the whole tournament was again a korean protoss, now Parting.

I am not gonna say Huk is bad, he is not. But I do still think he has not proved himself to be one of the greats.

agree with what is said about luk and heart, they have a chance to truly prove themselves, there is no hiding at this MLG

Good call about Ganzi, I was not too happy about them not putting him on stage once last MLG.

Sometimes MLG just decide to ignore a player.

Remember Polt's incredible run throught the lower part of open bracket, going 23-3 or something like that ? Not a single game on main stage back then.
Polt himself even talked about it when he finaly got a main stage game because of his new rivalry with Stephano.

I'm sad for GanZi. The guy has always been put into the " It's just another korean terran" category. He's so good tho. :<

I have but one question for this tourney:

Should Huk fall flat, can we freely use the pet name "Luk" without moderation?

Oh man~ does MLG pick up the tab for his room + meals? I'd definitely offer to buy his meals if it was being held in Dallas T.T;
I might be the minority on TL, but TL is the minority everywhere else.

About Ganzi dominating the 2v2 tournament. I played (and beat) him in a custom 4v4 earlier in the week and it was his first ever team game. So if you plan on placing bets on the 2v2 games I suggest not betting on Ganzi...

No, a rematch at Spring Arena or any other tournament can no more change the past than Blizzard can implement LAN.

Ahahaha I love it

He'll win just to appear at the main stage.

Argh, I hate the whole "MKP best player in the world" thing.

I feel like you need more time to determine that and definitely more impressive displays.

A Parting/MKP finals that goes to the final game will be so fucking fitting!

Flash will smite you down like Sodom for worshipping false idols.
MKP sounds like he's expecting everyone else to take care of him. I really hope he grows up a bit. And how could he not take money to the states? It's not like he doesn't have money. Either his head is 100% on the game, or 100% on the clouds. xD
