Oh, and don't forget soO unforgettable comment "They just seem so easy, the Prime team"
I'm not sold on soO getting out of his group but I have to admit the guy's a prophet, as that comment came right before Prime's once-esteemed players completely fell apart.
Group C: I think soO is more likely to end up last than 2nd. Effort has continued to look solid if unspectacular in all matchups, but the guy's an OSL champion and this is his home turf. Maru has looked surprisingly solid lately but not enough to escape this group. sOs the king of builds should prevail with a max 3 games to play. sOs + Effort.
Group D: Really tough to call, I think pretty much any permutation is possible especially in a bunch of bo1 zvz's. Even Symbol could go down as zvz is his weakest link. I don't see why Shine couldn't "one shot, one kill" his way to the ro16...he did it last season. Curious looks like he could be revived after his M-House Cup win, perhaps he will resume his rightful duties as gatekeeper. And Trap not only has to prepare for just one matchup, it's by far his best one. On the downside, his first match is with Symbol. All told, though it's marginal, I would still bet on the best players in this group: Symbol + Trap.

did you watch prime vs mvp? honestly though. maru's vZ is pretty damn scary if you ask me. he's probably not gonna beat sHy, since prime has a curse against protoss apprently, but 2 zergs? i think so.

I have to wonder what Trap is really capable of. From STX I think both Dear and Classic (since he switched) had a better track record of winning important matches. Anyone can correct me if I'm mistaken in this notion?

Lol, Shine is the upset man.

Yeah I did watch it. As far as I could see, there was one lonely boy sitting by himself on the Prime bench facing 10 or so MVP members yet he almost took them down singlehandedly. But though Maru looked very competent, I wouldn't say scary. I think his tvz is close to Effort, but I think Effort's "home advantage," pedigree, and bo1 experience should see him through. But I wouldn't rule out Maru.

I think when he said that Prime was starting to slump but it wasn't clear how long or serious it would become.
