You see MMA play against pretty average opponents and he looks terrible, but often (not always) manages to win anyway, but then he comes up against a top player and plays like a god.
Would be happy with either DRG or MC making it to the final.
This is quite common actually, alot of people play just well enough to win, and their skill level adapts to that of who they are playing. It's pretty cool. MMA has this tournament won.
Not sure that I would describe it as cool. If anything it's pretty uncool. I'd definitely like MMA a lot more if he was consistently awesome.

MMA is a kind of player full of sloppy mistakes and at the same time brilliant play.
Certain players whom are good at punishing mistakes have his number, the way Polt just catches MMA unsieged is a good example or how Lucky just exposed a huge weakness in his play in IPL. But other players who just play straight up games (which many people deem as a good thing, but isn't really many times) can be severely punished by MMA's mix of fantastic play and sloppy mistakes.
DRG has destroyed oGs protoss so many times in total + he had one more day to rest and prepare, I would say he has an advantage. However, If there is a team want to beat DRG badly, it is oGs. Hope oGs can show us some positive outcome of their hard work.
Usually, I do not like to watch MVP's TVT because we all know he will win no matter what. But man, MMA with the backup of slayers could definitely be a challenge.

DRG definitely knows how to beat Mc ! But I will never couter Mc out easily, Nestea dominated Mc in open seasons and then Mc figured out how to beat him. Same to Puma and Mc. Mc is just like all other top pros. He works hard and is eager to win games. He was in a slump but he never gives up !
Fun useless fact: The Kpop vids we see in the beginning are picked out of a folder on the observers PC and played in a playlist full-screen on the Gom Player. We're watching a gom player on our gom player! :D (well I guess unless you're using twitch)
