Just can't be so stale with the single timing push with early banshee pressure. | ||

Mvp is in Code A and he has to fight his way through to make it to Code S in time for Heart of the Swarm. This is one of those high pressure matches - do or die. There is no Up & Down cushion for Mvp, a loss means he is sent straight down to Code B, the land from which even the very best players can fail to advance. A win means he is through to the Round of 32 and the Up & Down safety net becomes open to him. His opponent is KeSPA Zerg soO who plays for team SKT Telecom T1. soO's notable accomplishment is winning the MLG MvP Invitational, but he did it on the back of his strong ZvP. Sure, soO has a great record against Terran foreigners, but against Korean Terrans, soO's record is mediocre. Here is a list of soO's games against Korean Terrans (not counting SeleCT): soO 1-1 PuMa soO 0-2 aLive soO 4-1 BaBy soO 4-3 Flash soO 0-2 Bomber soO 1-0 INoVation soO 0-1 Kop soO 0-1 sKyHigh soO 1-0 Last soO 0-1 INoVation Record against KeSPA Terrans: 10-7 Record against eSF Terrans: 1-5 soO is a KeSPA player, meaning that soO will improve rapidly. However, soO just has not been one of the best KeSPA players (like Flash, Fantasy, RorO, JangBi, Argo, Cure, Rain, and more). Also, soO just does not have that much experience facing the best Korean Terrans. Mvp, on the other hand, has been suffering from bad problems lately. Winning only 1 out of his last TvZ games, Mvp's form has been a disaster. Everyone knows that Mvp has been suffering from health issues, and everyone knows that his play has suffered because of it. However, there are no excuses now - the only thing that matters is winning. Can Mvp pull himself together long enough to crush this KeSPA Zerg? Well, if the Mvp shows up that went 1-8 in Blizzard Cup, 1-4 in GSL Code S, and 0-3 in Iron Squid, then soO will send the King to Code B (for the first time ever). If the Mvp displays even a small fraction of his glory, then that should be more than enough to handle soO. Personally, I think Mvp will really get things together right at the brink of elimination. This isn't the first time he's been to Code A - in fact, he is in Code A quite frequently. However, he has only stayed in Code A once. Season after season, Mvp looks weak and vulnerable as he falls down to Code A. Season after season, Mvp pulls through his Code A matches back into the hardest league in the world. And once in a while (okay, maybe more like once every 3 seasons), Mvp decides to win it all. Prediction Mvp 2-1 soO | ||

He is still one of the top foreigners competing, although that is a statement of questionable value these days. He is not playing on a code S level, nor is he playing on a Code A level. So please, HuK, leave korea and do more mediocre things in foreign tournaments. One could as well send DeMusliM to code S/code A. Same results.... | ||

This seems to imply that either most people in Code A are not "Code A-level", or Huk is actually pretty good on a good day. I feel inclined to believe it is the second option. | ||

I personally don't like him much, but I don't think he really deserves this kind of shitstorm! It's not really hate, it's just that HuK was arguably as strong in 2011 as Stephano was in the spring/summer, so watching him go straight back to code b would be disappointing | ||

 Even Center himself thought that the game was lost.Happy's loss is just weird. Losing to a Blink Observer build on Daybreak of all maps.. then the infamous proxy Immortal Push on Icarus that PartinG and Squirtle has shown this New season. ByuL.. it was a b/o loss the 1st set, then 2nd set his own aggressive strategy was brutally deflected (still good job by EffOrt, this one went sorta as predicted). First somehow just did not play well. His defense against the Hellion drop Marine pressure was just not good enough, especially compared to his teammate YongHwa's defense of the same build yesterday. MVP.. well, TBO, I sort of expected this to happen. His 0-3 loss to Goswser at Iron Squid was already an ominous sign. It appears that Mvp's injuries are severely affecting him. I'd say he should definitely consider surgery, maybe utilizing this break from GSL :/ | ||
