Flying just beat MC and DRG yesterday and soO has winning records vs MKP + MVP. WoL legacies don't mean much these days. Of course in SC you never know, MKP might advance, I just don't agree with the article having him as the favourite.

I don't think any protoss is going to beat MKP in a Bo3. So he should make it out, unless he happens to face both zergs in the deciding matches. I still think he'll make it out. And curious is too established to lose in the Ro32, especially not to newcomers. I say MKP Curious.

Yeah I'm going to have to go with sOs and MKP here too, although it's really hard to judge when we've seen so little HotS from these guys.

- sOs has consistently been one of the best players in proleague, a considerable feat given that it's one of the toughest competitions in the world.
- You can take the glass half-empty view on MKP, which is he's always the bridesmaid, but the glass half-full view is he's had a remarkable record of consistency in advancing to the later stages of code S but has just been unlucky in falling short at the final hurdle so far. Plus, he's a terran.
- I hate to count out Curious with his own rock-solid consistency in advancing to the ro16, not to mention his semifinals breakthrough last season, but zergs continue to struggle with the HotS metagame and Curious IMO never looked overly impressive in his semifinals run save the way he wiped the floor with Parting.
- The Kespa players are so strong it's wrong to ever completely count them out but IMO it will be an uphill struggle for soO to take a set off any of these three.

A crownless King, can be a better fate, than a carpenter with one of thorns. Will MKP become OptimusPrime, if he somehow changes his fate or did Polt tarnish that idea?

"The MVP Zerg had become one of the greatest players in WoL using muta-ling-baneling, a style which has been strengthened by the changes brought about in HotS."
Hm, interested in this statement. Otherwise, good writeup.
