(the .5 is so there can't be any draw) So if MVP wins 3-0 or 3-1 you win (-1.5 score would be 1.5-0 and 1.5-1) If MVP wins 3-2 you lose (MVP would be 1.5-2) And same with Happy+1.5, you add his score 1.5 and if his score is better, you win. So basically the lower the number, the heavier a favorite the player is for the bookmakers. | ||

Mind you though, whoever faces MVP will do a lot of cheeses, I suspect. I doubt he shall hold them all. | ||

And yeah, as much as I think Happy and Ganzi have a future in SC2, unfortunately the hype of this tournament is largely dependent upon MVP and MMA winning. Btw, I said "hype", not "excitement". Because whether you like it or not, it's a Code S final and MVP doesn't look breakable. Even as a TOP fan last season, I expected nothing more than a 4-1. As a non-MMA fan (which is apparantly a rare thing given how many LR posters heart MMA), I expect MVP to wipe this tournament, potentially with Nestea being the only player to take games off him. Let's just say, any other result will shock me. But regarding today at least: - MVP should wipe Ganzi. Anything less than 3-0 would be a blemish on his record (this coming from someone who thinks Ganzi has the potential to be a champion of the future). - MMA and Happy might have a close series. I say might because both MMA and Happy are sort of on a roll at the moment and it's hard to bet on. Happy might look unstoppable TvZ, but hasn't done much TvT. MMA has had both TvT games go to the final-game, so hasn't looked unstoppable in that match up. I'm going to say I expect 3-2 MMA. So- MVP 3 - 0 Ganzi MMA 3 - 2 Happy + Show Spoiler + Finals MVP 4 - 0 MMA because finals | ||

Ganzi (as all Slayers) used to have awesome TvT, but his ro8 games have been very sloppy against supernova. I don't know what to expect. Especially that Happy looks unbreakable recently. | ||

honestly don't see how MVP can possibly lose today. MMA v Happy should be good, though. | ||
