Either MC or MMA going to take this, might be MC if he's still in shape due to what MMA's TvP is like.

It all depends on brackets after Group Stages. If he runs into a good PvPer (JYP, MC, elfi) or a Zerg (Nerchio, Violet), he's screwed. If he can run over guys like Grubby, Select, Strelok etc he has a good chance. That's just how it is when you are a specialist in a particular MU.

Last time he met MC he crushed him 2-0. I agree with PvZ though, however, Nerchio isnt that good against Zerg anymore and he probably wouldn't be the favourite, but he can take them. We will see how things turn out

Obv. rooting for the Germans here, DarkForce and HasuObs groups look doable.

The Liquipedia Entry is wrong.
There are 11 protoss playing ... it shows 10 at the liquipedia entry.

Last time he met MC, MC was out of practice and had been overtravelling, and this was in old age PvP. MC also got hugely unlucky in that series, in one game getting stuck on some scenery while kiting on Metalopolis and then moving out of his base at the same time as Mana blindly flew a Warp Prism into his mineral line. Classic PvP, in a nutshell. Looking at the score and going "hmm, 2-0" is a huge oversimplification. The MC who beat JYP 3-2 in the best PvP series evaaaaar wouldn't lose to Mana.

Yeah, I agree with your predictions. I'm leaning slightly in favour of MC at the moment.

Mana has no pedigree for winning major events and tournaments are generally won by the same smallish pool of players.
Mvp, Nestea, Leenock, MC, Oz, Jjakji!

i'm from hannover and i think its a terrible idea to hold such a tourney at cebit. you better prepare for the most passive, unemotional crowd of your life. if you plan on watching this, better be hyped be the games themselves and not by the atmosphere, because that's not gonna happen. the only noise you gonna hear comes from razer etc. giveaways under the motto of who can scream "insert company name here" the loudest. i fuckin hate it.

let's go hannover, prove me wrong!

MMA is the obvious favorite.

However, seeing Nerchio's groups makes me LOL. Poor nerchio stuck in there was nothing but protoss haha.

Eh, MMA stands to lose to a lot of the Protosses here, especially if he has to play a bo3 :o

MMA's pretty lucky he didn't get really good PvT players in his group. JYP is... JYP... in PvT. Socke is a pretty safe and solid EU Protoss who's been around for a while - could pull something out the bag, but not really scary.

As soon as he's out of groups, he'll have to try and avoid both Mana and MC. Both of them would be favoured in a PvT.

Grubby FTW!!! He's got it np.
Now witness their attempts to fly from tree to tree. Notice they do not so much fly as plummet.
