I have to lol at the Alicia comment ... Did you watch his play yesterday ... my god was that awful, how can he be the ranked 1 player overal ? Did Artossis tell you this ?
Anyway i will agree that protoss is strugling no question about it but i have high hopes with the likes of HerO :D

Well, before the coach and other players like MMA said that Alicia was their top player. That was before Toss crumbled though.

I just watched the game list of  MC...he's dead man TT
|
LosirA <Xel'Naga Fortress> MC
Kyrix <Dual Sight> Check
LosirA <Terminus SE> Jjakji
Kyrix <Antiga Shipyard 1.1> MC
Check <Bel'shir Beach> Jjakji
Kyrix <Tal'Darim Altar LE> LosirA
Check <Terminus SE> MC
Kyrix <Crossfire SE> Jjakji
Check <Daybreak> LosirA
MC <Metalopolis 1.1> Jjakji
I predict a 3way tie. Then tiebreakers ensue and idk who comes out on top.

Of course Protoss is doing badly as a whole.
But as I said, MC's in a bit of a slump in addition to Protoss going through a rough time. Getting 2-0'd by Moon, who isn't even playing SC2 full-time and didn't go for the apparently troublesome ling/infestor style, at a LAN this past week goes faaaaaar beyond imbalance and into the slumping territory. (MC even lost on close positions Metalopolis somehow. If that isn't slumping, I don't know what is.)
Also, bringing up Alicia is a bit of a joke. He's been slumping ever since he came into contact with CoCa three months ago. Based on how he played yesterday, he definitely did not deserve Code S. it's painful to admit, since I'm a huge fan of his, but it's true. But now that CoCa's on SlayerS, he can hopefully start improving that horrendous PvZ of his. (Or slump even more. Sigh.)
Don't crash my negativity party. It's how I deal with the possibility of MC falling out of Code S. This way I won't be surprised if it happens, but if it doesn't happen, I'll be extra happy tomorrow, okay?

Jjakji fighting!!!
Then don't want the rest to qualify. But probably want check to make it

I'm shocked at how many people think MC is a goner. I know protoss is getting curb stomped lately, but it's MC guys. MC.....in a group with 2 code A level zerg players and a terran who's still kinda on the fence. Although, Jjakji does have a good tvp, from what I recall he is a frequent 1/1/1 user. Still though...

MC deserves code A if he fails to make it out of the up and down matches. It's his own damn fault for MVP to be in his group. MC can't see the future, how was he supposed to know MVP would suddenly rise again? MC was favored in their match...in hindsight it was a bad pick but it made sense at the time, plus he was trying to get his spot in blizzcon. How did it make sense? He picked MVP because he wanted a challenge AND chose a group where there was a very good chance he would meet Nestea in the ro 16. If he wanted to secure his blizzcon spot he would have taken an easier route than the one he set himself up with, as a third GSL title would have secured his spot. I play protoss and a fan of MC, but when you play with fire and you get burned....well you deserve it. He wanted to give his fans amazing games and by pairing up such high level players, it was bound to happen. This is one of the reasons I love MC. Not everyone just wants to sneak their way to victory, they want to test their skills.
He probably felt bad for botching those games against Hongun last season (as he should). Everyone was hyped up for a Nestea vs MC semifinals.

MC and jjakji qualifying tonight!
|
I don't mean any disrespect to Jjakji but he's the only one I don't want to advance. Less TvT mang
|
god... hope MC stays in code S, though he kinda brought this upon himself with him picking his group of death in code S this season...

He said he was #1 rated player on SlayerS, not overall. I can agree with him on that, Alicia has been the best Protoss on SlayerS - at least he was that until Puzzle joined them.

Wow the games haven't even started yet and already we have a ton of garbage being posted in this thread.
Why can't we all just watch the games and have fun with them without crying about every tiny thing?
|
gogogo MC !! we need some protoss in code-s :D
|
Woah, first match, most important one, going crazy right of start..what a shame it will be one game only, so anything might happen. But whoever wins it, shoud easily qual.
I dont think Kyrih is that bad, and Check is fine, but those two are not at the moment at the same level as other people in group.
Well, everyone except that Losira and MC will take those 2 Code S slots, but this format is really risky, and punish even one mistake hard..So lets see, i always love up and down matches, you might never see whats comming 
|
As long as MC wins then I am happy.

As a MKP fan, I fear that MC is MKPing.
It's hard as a fan to see your hero getting stomped by everyone, each match you hope that "finally it's the day when he'll play well once more !"
But no, he's disappointing again and again and again, but you have hope again and again and again.
MC is not in the MKP's slump yet, but he's heading this way, but I hope today will be the day.
