I'm pretty sure Naniwa will win. He's practiced a lot for this and MVP mentioned he is starting rehab and content with just reaching the Ro8 to secure a spot for next season. I doubt MVP has practiced much and is prioritizing recovery over results at this point in his career.

MC was the Denethor of Protoss for the last eight months or so, the steward ruling in place while everyone awaited the return of the true King. However, he lit himself on fire (lost to Virus), and then ran off a cliff after he picked a fight with a hobbit (Maru) and a wizard (Oz).


Haha! Brilliant!

Anyways, I concur that Mvp must win. At least then the unnatural foreigner fanboyism will end.

Mvp > NaNiwa
PartinG > Oz

I really don't think MVP is in a position to give this series his all. Skill differentials are just so small at this point that not giving his all isn't going to cut it.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ There are three kinds of people in the world: those who can count and those who can't.

MVP you need to do this man. Show them all you're still the best. Power through that wrist injury. You got it.<3

My lb disagrees with you waxangel

Mvp might be the worst condition as of yet, he shouldn't have gone to China for that tournament where he lost to Moon. Your statement about how Mvp stand to lose more than Naniwa is false. Sure, foreigners will be thrilled with his placement in the Ro8 but to Koreans, he'll still be among the foreigner like Idra and Huk who just had a lucky run to the quarterfinal, beating mediocre terrans and riding on the PvP matchup. I see a fire in the eyes of the Swedish Protoss while the Korean Terran looks like a dying king reminiscent of his reign and taking his last breath.

Oz has been awful at PvP as of late, losing to other protoss that he simply shouldn't. Surprisingly his PvT is what got him this far in the tournament. Parting is overall more rounded in all match up and I think he's decision making PvT can carry over in his other match ups.

Anytime there's a protoss you need more analogy about them being president or dethroning MC for the best protoss title.
Also,
Have fun in Korea!

Waxangel, that is possibly the best preview I've read. I also agree with your predictions.

PartinG makes me enjoy watching Protoss (probably because he plays it like it's Zerg!); that alone makes him the best Protoss in my books. I really hope he can beat Oz.

I've been liqui-betting against Nani the whole of this season and he keeps winning, so I'll continue the trend in the hope he continues winning! Silly and superstitious, oh yeah!

Also, lets go PartinG!

Heart:
Nani>MvP
Parting>Oz

Head
MvP>Nani
Parting>Oz

But i think if MvP and Parting go through, Parting will almost certainly be in the finals. His PvT ist just so awesome and I don't see MvP beating him with his injury.

As a Protoss player myself MVP's domination coincided with the near-extinction event of Protoss in the GSL so I have a deep, deep fear of him but even I don't think he stands a chance against Naniwa.

Also I saw games on Parting's PvT and like most people it blew me away, but can someone who follow his games more closely tell me how good is his PvP?
