uh no, he'll place 2nd, because that's his destiny.


I can see Stephano having a chance to beat MKP. I'll be really disappointed if MKP loses to Mana or Grubby

Mana would probably beat MKP. MKPs worst MU is TvP (like, it's terrible compared to his others). And Mana's best is PvT. Manas PvT has been good enough to beat PuMa whose TvP is probably much better than MKPs.

Either way, that should be an awesome match. Really hope that's what we get in the finals.


I don't know where you're getting your info from, but mkp's tvp is one of his best matchup. It's TvT that is his worst matchup by far. MKP should roll mana if they meet, or I'll be disappointed if he plays like he did against huk.

That's exactly where I'm getting my info from. His TvP was terrible at MLG Orlando. I don't see how 1 week later, it's suddenly going to be at the form it was at a couple of months ago.


He absolutely raped MaNa in the showmatch an Mana hasn't been too impressive this event.

Well then that's pretty silly to base it off 1 bad bo3. Mana's form was terrible last week at IEM new york when he failed to get out of group stages, so using your logic I don't see how it's suddently going to be good 1 week later. Puma's tvp is based off his 1-1-1 and mkp can 1-1-1 with the best of them when he chooses to.

Mana's form was terrible last week? The only PvT he played was against Top and the series ended 2-1. I didn't watch it, but I doubt his form was terrible if it was a close series.

He 2-0's Socke and MC, should 2-0 Grubby too given his performance so far. We haven't really seen the state of his PvT this tournament apart from vs a nobody who he 2-0'd

I do believe that MKP is the favorite in this match, but are you seriously calling IPL3 a small tournament? Or did I just get trolled?


IPL was a relatively small tournament.


lol if a 100k dollars tournament with 12 koreans and all the best foreign players in the world is small. Then plz define whats big and small


Some people will get very defensive very quickly and say that if a tournament hasn't been won by a Korean it wasn't a serious one. Which obviously means that foreigners will never win a serious tournament, since it'd become an irrelevant one as soon as that happens.

Yup, if HuK (or another foreigner) wins a GSL it will count for nothing since he didn't win Open Season 2


Huk is korean trained so it counts as a KR win anyways. Same with Idra who spent 3 years in korea. It's not genetics, it's korean training that makes you good.

And here I thought it was something in their milk that made them great

Showmatch....

And yea, Mana hasn't impressed here. But his PvT is far and away his best MU (which he hasn't had a chance to showcase).

MKP will not steamroll Mana like some people think.

MaNa raped MC in PvP (his worst MU) so he can easly take MKP.

Well, at least now we know that foreigners won't be winning anything for the next 5 years at least.

Actually, there is a part of genetics too. Asians are typically more dexterous than caucasians.
SC2 reduced immensely the amount of hand dexterity required compared to BW, but having that "racial buff" still helps.
Regardless, it's undeniable that the Korean training regime contributes the most. They *know* how to train.

Hate to start up this discussion again but that reasoning makes no sense at all to me. Just because someone has got korean traning and is living in korea atm does not make them korean.
Your nationality dosent just suddenly change because your living in another country for awhile.

Yeah, same goes for SC2, and counter-strike, and soccer, and football, and baseball and any other spectator sport.

Dunno why people are always so negative on here =/
