I feel bad for whoever these guys pick for the up/down matches. Both are good enough that they could specifically target a player by picking him as well as a ringer like MC or someone for their group.

Well its the 2 best terrans in the world, the 2 best tvt players, I think bomber may have a slight edge overall but should be the best final out of S and A

This is going to be such an amazing finals for Code A. So sad I can't watch it live. Gogo MVP!

If I were in MVP or Bomber's position, I definitely will choose Byun&Rainbow as Up/Down opponent. Coz those guy's TvT skill is really obviously not in the same level as MVP/Bomber. The other group they might choose is Lyn/Check.

I actually feel sorry for MMA/Bomber/MVP's up/down match opponent. They are just far more better than the current code S players.

MVP is just too good right now in TvT, I don't see him losing more than one or possibly two games. Bomber is an insanely good player but MVP is just... unbelievable.

The Up/Down matches are going to be nightmares for the lesser Code S players.

What's scary about Bomber is that it seems as if his TvP skill is even better than his TvT. Anyone who watched his 8-2 dismantling of White-Ra, as well as his ladder ratio against P, can attest to that. I wouldn't be surprised if he picks a P for his up/down.

I haven't watched much GSL live these past few seasons, but this matchup just might force me to stay up.

MvP is sooo good at TvT and I can't see him losing a TvT series even against such a good player: Bomber. However, Bomber definitely has a chance of beating MvP and I would be happy either way!! Epic series incoming!!

Recommended games section needs to read "ALL OF THEM."

I still think the winner of Code A shouldn't have to play up/down to get to Code S, though.

Also this.

This is fucking huge. It's unfortunate I won't be able to watch it live, but you know I'm checking out the VODs first thing in the morning.

MVP's already broken the GSL points ranking. So, I hope Bomber can win so we can see him in the GSL Super Tournament.

I don't know who will win, mvp has a better TvT win percentage but bomber is so scary. This is one TvT that I am excited to watch.

Since Bomber reached the finals, he should be safe for the tournament no matter what - in that other thread he is tied for 62nd and that is under the assumption that ALL foreigners accept the invite to play (which they won't).

I have a feeling one of them will pick TSL_Rain before they pick Byun or Rainbow

Mvp: "Do you believe that my being stronger or faster has anything to do with my muscles, in this place?"

Bomber: "2 mules for me, 1 for you, 2 mules for me, 1 for you...."

Gogogo Mvp! 4-3 epicness please.

Out of the 17-24th group, the weakest picks are probably Rain, Kyrix and Lyn. Out of the 25-32nd group, Rainbow, TheWind, Huk and Check are the weakest.

MVP probably doesn't want to face Protoss, so Huk should be fairly safe there. But if MVP wins and picks someone like Rainbow first, it's conceivable that Bomber might pick Huk because his TvP is really good.

On the other hand, if Huk does get picked then at least he will get put in a group with one of the weaker 17-24th players, although I think he would still be better off being placed randomly.
