It's gotta be MVP and Taeja for me.
No one should need the reminder that MVP has won more GSL Code S titles than any other player in SC2. No one should need the reminder that MVP will do whatever it takes to win, including double proxy-rax in the final game of a championship match. And no one should need the reminder that MVP keeps winning even with wrists that have suffered extreme damage and don't permit the highest level of micro and comfort. For that reason if no other, I never bet against MVP.
Taeja because it feels wrong to bet against Taeja right now. Although he hasn't dominated for an extended period like MVP and Nestea, the way in which he has been slaughtering players left and right is so cavalier and so one-sided in many cases that I just can't bring myself to see his talent failing to carry him further than this round.
MMA is a tough one to drop for me, but with the exception of his yesterday ability to snipe MVP, he has never looked as exceptional as the other top players in anything EXCEPT TvZ, and MMA doesn't have any Zergs to slaughter here. Plus, the decline of build order wins in TvT means his ability to snipe MVP is going to be lessened.
MaNa just suffers from the misfortune of being in a group with 1 unpredictable former star who can be VERY scary (MMA), a rising talent who MAY be the best SC2 player in the world right now (Taeja), and someone who always finds a way to win, no matter the scenario (MVP). I just can't pick MaNa to make it out of the group.
MVP and Taeja advance.

NOPE.
Don't agree Waxangel.

Tough luck for Mana.......I really hope he makes it out alive
|
could this be... the most toughest death group in GSL history?
|
Minor typo: title of the article says "Group A" instead of E.
|
I hope it's MVP and MMA advancing - because I love their playstyle so much.
I haven't seen MMA since he beat DRG in that GSL special cup thingy - what? In november? I hope he is back.
This is a great group of death. The only better group of death would be: MVP, Flash, DRG, Nestea. One can dream right?

Man, this group is such a bummer for me somehow.. It has my 3 alltime favorite Starcraft 2 terrans in it, and then the foreign hope, MaNa... I feel like im going to watch four of my friends fight each other to the death, until only 2 survives D: Hunger Games style
Have to go with TaeJa advancing though... After him, I hope either MVP or MaNa, sorry MMA

I think it's going to be Taeja MMA, I don't question it. MVP couldn't have been placed in a worse group. Mana either lol.

Taeja will be third, and mvp last. no matter how good MaNa's PvT is that seemed a bit impossible. What is impossible about it? MMA could win it. Mana could get second. He is good enough. MVP hasn't looked in top shape so I'd personally say he could be the first out.

The Fanboy inside of me and myself COMPLELY DISAGREE about the TvT analysis. It can't be said that theStc & co all have the same TvT. I think the matchup is far from being equal for anyone. I think MMA is one of the strongest TvTer (second or third I would say) and I think he has his chances versus MVP, even if not versus Taeja.
So I would say in fact :
Taeja > MaNa : MaNa is good, but not that good MMA > Mvp : MMA is very good at TvT Taeja > MMA : MMA is good at TvT, but not that good MaNa > Mvp : GSL Champ versus foreigner never turned out to be good for the foreigner, in GSL at the least. MMA > Mvp : Like the good old times =)
Anyways it's gonna be an amazing group ! Can't wait ! ^^

Predict: Taeja, MVP
Hope MMA, Mana
