It is not just PartinG and MKP waiting for their encounter, I can assure you of that. My favourite matchup being played by my respective favourite players to watch in that matchup, add in the drama and rivalry and you got one excited Toss fanboy out for revenge.

edit: Forgot to say Gogo MC! <3

Just want to point something out, NesTea and MvP had one series in October that remains one of the most memorable series in SC2. They weren't all bad..

The best thing about this arena is having a full round-robin among 8 players. Such scheme should be used more often at the highest level.

Both (P)ST_PartinG and (T)MarineKingPrime might brush aside suggestions that there's any bad blood, but does anyone really believe it? With many pro-gamers insisting PartinG was robbed in the GSTL finals, PartinG's own claims of accepting the referee decision sound like some of the emptiest PR statements in eSports history. As for MKP, how pissed must he be about people suggesting that he and Prime didn't deserve to win the finals, even after his incredible four-win performance? I wouldn't be surprised if both players marked off April 20th on their calendars, and have been eagerly counting the days away.


Meh. Parting and MKP are really good friends and tweet at each other often. I think their statements were genuine... not that friends can't be rivals and want to beat each other all the more.
Pretty sure the author himself doesn't believe in what he wrote, it's just the obligatory pump-it-up stuff, "they gonna cut each other's throats" etc. The match is certainly very interesting though, even if MKP and Parting aren't, like, the worst enemies in reality.

Hate to say it fans of foreigners, but I think Huk might be a little outmatched. Should be a great tournament.

Grubby might be the most charismatic person I've ever gotten to meet personally in gaming(shit... even if I left out the gaming part it wouldn't be a gigantic stretch), I hope he kills it. His previous tidbits of casting have been amazing.

Man the tournament is so stacked. Off the the top of my head, other than the aforementioned DRG v MKP and MKP v Parting, you have other dream match-ups like DRG v MC.

Gods don't need money or food.


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


You sound incredibly silly saying that MKP should grow up.

He has been to MLGs before and obviously if he doesn't think he will need money then why should he bring money? Besides, if he does need money he can just tell MLG to take it out of his check.

Oh wax, the way you write
Let a man play chess, and tell him that every pawn is his friend. Let him think both bishops holy. Let him remember happy days in the shadows of his castles. Let him love his queen. Watch him lose them all.

Wil Parting and MKP really give it their all, when they meet again for an more important match in 3-4 days later?

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.

Your memory is flawed regarding Columbus. He had both Violet and Heart in his group as well as Ret/Socke who he beat at the other event you are speaking of who apparently you think are pushovers. After the group stage at Columbus he went on to beat Naniwa and Parting before losing a 4-2 extended series to Heart. That is 3 Koreans in the one plus Naniwa and if you payed attention to SOTG you would see Tyler talking about how PvP is won based on skill now and not luck(most of the time) so trying to discredit that is silly too.

Again, all PvP's. No one in the world that knows what they're talking about would say that HuK isn't one of the best PvP'ers in the world. That said, being a beast in one matchup doesn't make him "one of the greats".
