On topic: Nerchio is very impressive and I would have a hard time believing he could win but think about it, MVP and Nestea lost games to Naniwa so anything can happen.

This will be a slaughter imo Jjakki was one of the very few players in Korea Stephano coulnt beat. However the matches was amasing. close and very intence but still stephano is down 0-3 to Jjakji | ||

Jjakji, on the other hand, was less known, especially in the TvZ matchup, and had a whole week to study Leenock's playstyle and preferences while Leenock didn't know that much about Jjakji and how he plays (macro, harassment/aggressive or likes all-in etc). I'm sure if you put Mvp or MMA against Leenock in a finals and gave them a week to prepare, they'd be much more motivated and would stand a better chance of taking down Leenock than meeting him in a semi-final/group stage. | ||

What you know about a player != what Korean pros know about another Korean pro. Leenock and his coaches likely had a pretty good grasp on Jjakji's typical playstyle because he's been known to be good in practice for quite a while (his coach said he was a player to look out for in that initial NSH house video Artosis did lol). MVP also got something like 4 days to prepare for his semi-final against Leenock, and they both came from Providence, so it was totally even footing. MVP & MMA are undoubtedly more accomplished players, and any ranking should currently put them above Jjakji, but based on the recent TvZ's they've played Jjakji seems the strongest. Didn't he even say after the November semi's that he doesn't really lose to zerg? Basically, the guy is sick good. If Nerchio can take this it'd be pretty shocking. | ||

Jjakji's tvz seems just too solid for any foreigner zerg to beat him. i would be surprised if nerchio takes even one game (if jjakji takes the thing seriously even a bit). | ||

I'm not saying he isn't good, but to consider him above MMA/Mvp in TvZ because he was able to beat Leenock once is a bit far fetched. | ||

I suspect at least 5-2, maybe 5-3. Nerchio still doesn't have a hope in hell of winning, but they could be good games anyway. | ||

I doubt they would be so enthusiastic about these games if it was a 5-0 or 5-1 in Jjakji's favour. I suspect at least 5-2, maybe 5-3. Nerchio still doesn't have a hope in hell of winning, but they could be good games anyway. donno i personally still find the MVP vs Top gsl finals insane and MVP pretty much destroyed Top there, so that's not a clear assumtion what you're saying | ||

Also, for the comparison with Stephano further up the quote train, Stephano has also never taken a single map off of MC. Using MC as a reference point to show how bad Nerchio is in a completely difference matchup against a different style of player is not very useful. | ||
