Puma is an incredible terran, but we don't know much about how he's playing lately, if he tried to qualify for Code A he failed again. Mana is in perhaps the form of his career with awesome performances in the IPL and Assembly. Stephano is one of the hottest Zergs on the planet, and perhaps the fastest improving player around. Sase is a beastly protoss fresh off a runners up spot at the CPL, and while I doubt his time in Korea is paying off just yet, he'll definitely be highly motivated going into this. All 4 of them are awesome, and they all perform well in a LAN setting. Group A is close behind; but MC and Idra aren't currently the forces they once were, Kas is still struggling to bring in consistent results at LAN events, and beastyqt is perhaps a level below still. | ||

MaNa and SaSe has become European powerhouses (in Europe) and Stephano is the brightest up and coming star right now in impeccable fashion. PuMa I dont know who it is, but he's korean and probably won something to get invited here.. | ||

http://www.esl-world.net/masters/#/masters/season6/cologne/ MC revisits Europe Unfortunately we have to replace one of our recently announced Korean invites for next week's Global Challenge Cologne. MarineKing won't be able to travel to Germany. Nevertheless, his substitute isn't less popular or successful. Two-time GSL champion MC from SK Gaming and oGs is not only a great addition to our tournament, but will also even out the overall ratio of Protoss and Terran with 6 representatives each. MC won't be placed in group D. He will start in group A and PuMa moves to group D instead, to avoid having two groups with three players of one race. This was done in agreement with all affected players. Group A Empire.Kas Beastyqt IdrA MC Group B Socke DieStar SeleCT Killer Group C Tarson Nerchio mOOnGLaDe HuK Group D Stephano MYMSaSe MaNa PuMa pools are correct and im super excited to see group A Group D is probably gonna be the second most interesting group to watch i see huk taking his group quite easily | ||

SaSe MaNa PuMa is a pretty scary group - you have to consider that all Stephano, MaNa and SaSe have improved so much within the last couple of months | ||

 MC,  IdrA,  Kas, and Beastyqt is a scary group, no doubt--MC is the best Protoss in the world, Kas is one of the best European Terrans despite most of his accomplishments being in smaller tournaments (other than TSL I haven't really seen him deep into any big tournaments), Beastyqt is a good player, but not quite as well known as the other members of the group, and of course: IdrA. Everybody's favorite player to hate and one of the best Zergs in the world. I was pretty certain I would vote that group (IdrA+MC how is that not a scary group), but then I saw another group that caught my eye and struck fear into my heart:PuMa, MaNa, Stephano, SaSe. Holy crap. First off, the gentlemanly Korean President Terran himself. I don't know who else watched all his matches at NASL or his play in the GSTL (before EG stole him, just kidding, but seriously), but that dude is a sick-baller-nerd (alternatively if you don't speak Tastosis that means really, really, good). MaNa is an especially good Protoss player who I don't think ever got super far in tournaments because his PvZ was so weak compared to his other match-ups (not InCa weak, but certainly weak). That being said, recently, MaNa's PvZ has been exceptionally well played:+ Show Spoiler + Stephano is definitely one of the top Zergs outside of Korea. Better than IdrA? That one is hard to say but he certainly has better composure than IdrA; so while a IdrA playing at his best might be a better player than Stephano, if it comes down to the crunch time in a tournament, and MC just calmly types "are you angry?" I can't see IdrA playing as well as the Frenchman, Stephano. Then SaSe, another great European Protoss player who has been training in Korea. I think that his time in Korea will allow him to prepare super well for this tournament and be even scarier of a competitor than he usually is. And that is why I voted for PuMa, MaNa, Stephano, and SaSe's group, because while IdrA, MC, Kas, and Beastyqt has the most votes, I think that's mainly because it has two of the most popular players. MC vs IdrA definitely has the potential to be a great set so long as IdrA doesn't decide to randomly rage quit unpredictably, but overall PuMa vs MaNa will be a great match, and PuMa vs Stephano, and PuMa vs SaSe, and MaNa vs Stephano, and Stephano vs SaSe. Yeah basically all the matches are going to be awesome (minus PvP haha). | ||
