Its up to DRG to show his GSL awfull games were just a fluke, and that he looked at Symbol and Losira's games vs MKP.
I have a feeling either Parting or DRG might take it, if both fail MKP will run over the rest and take an easy win.

Yeah I mean DH will only have 2x as big prize pool + 2x big first place money and Naniwa, Polt, Genius, PuMa, SaSe, Thorzain, Nerchio, Ret, TSL-Hyun, MVPMonster, Socke, Morrow, TLO .........etc....

I think your message is a joke rather, a funny one! Haha


and nearly all of the players you just mentioned, would be clear favorites for last place @ spring arena one ;o

I expect a great tournament. I would bet my money on DRG this time, but hope that MKP delivers a good showing!

They don't even colide on time schedule ? Then what is all this crying about ?
Both look fantastic. 1 is small that is stacked the other is big wich is also stacked. It's going to be a fantastic weekend for those who enjoy watching starcraft.

I think NaNiwa, Polt, Genius, PuMa, SaSe, Hyun and Monster have something to say about that.

Also Dreamhack will have one big ass venue with a big crowd cheering + Apollo and Wolf. iNcontroL in the sofa ^^ lol.
I guess in MLG Spring Arena they will have like a staff of 10 people watching. ^^

Sure MLG Spring Arena is crazy stacked with sickening good players and one short Canadian. BUT...... how fun is a 8 man tournament with only 1 foreigner in it?

Sure it's nice to see these monster koreans duke it out together with 1 foreigner but it's still just 8 players. It's not a big tournament. Skillwize it is though.

But i can see it getting a bit meh after watching a few matches. Korean vs korean, top 7 koreans.

I don't mind seeing koreans meeting koreans. That's awesome! But that's what GSL is for. And also it wouldn't hurt if there were a little bit more foreigners i that lineup so that one could eihter see them get destroyed or maybe do decent. Would be more entertainment value.

Out source production to GOM. Put some fake NYC skyline template. Fly in Grubby, JP, Sundance.

They have 24h to post a article about DH. Notice that this one was posted within 24 hours to the start of the tournament.

Oh. And Wax. MLG production when it comes to arenas suck. Hell even NASL season 3 production is way better than MLG arena.
Right now in NA (based on production) NASL s3 >> MLG/IPL Live events (crowd factor) >> MLG Arenas >> IPL online shows.

NASL S3 live finals (??? - they fired the sound and camera guy) but we will see.

I neeeeed to see Marineking getting spanked by Dongraegu. I neeeeed to see a zerg taking out a top terran, especially after the recent Code-S matches.
You don't choose to play zerg. The zerg choose you.

Expecting HuK and Violet for last place in the group stage.

Parting will win if he can avoid DRG and beat MC in PvP ( Which hasn't looked all that difficult in a long time honestly )

I don't think you're giving Parting's PvZ enough credit.
Do remember that in the last two MLG's he's been the only Protoss not to mention player to actually beat DRG in a BO3, and almost beating him in the extended series, aside from MKP that is.

That's totally true but DRG is still probably the toughest opponent in the world in PvZ and DRG has everything to play for being knocked out of GSL while a lot of the other players still have Code S coming up.

He could beat DRG it's entirely possible just one of the more unlikely things to happen.

Behind the shoulder watching of PartinG's PvZ at IPL4 makes me think he's almost even with DRG, hmmm

Interesting :o

I guess my opinion on his PvZ is not really well formed because the only PvZ I have seen him play that I can remember is against DRG in GSL season one and the winter arena where he won 2-1 but later lost the extended series. that was a while ago and probably doesn't reflect his current PvZ.

Your PvT has gotten even stronger since last season

Frankly, my mirror matchup and vZ are quite weak. I am confident that I can win against any terran though. My vT was already strong but t seems to gotten even stronger today.


from his ro32 interview so I guess that's what I base this off of, but maybe he was just being modest.
