That was the reason he didn't go to IPL, he's trying to get back into good physical condition so they made the decision to cut travelling for the sake of hoping he's able to keep it together in the GSL.

Hes lost a LOT of practice time though. For the next GSL I will bet for him as the winner if he can keep up his condition for 2 months but in the meantime I just dont think he can pull it off after having so long of just not practicing.

Pretty much the same ratio as last season.

As true as that may be and they stepped up their game, last one winning the GSL was MC AGES ago... though Genius barely lost to DRG last season. (CROSSFIREEEEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHH!)

If MVP wrists stop affecting him, he will be the true terran hope and he will stomp everyone to death.

Unfortunately i think his wrists are still in a bad condition. Shame really, he had such good builds, star sense, great macro/micro and intelligent play.

Well, even with better wrists MVP was never too good against P

I don't think MVP will win games tomorrow. He payed the price of winning a game vs Flash.

Well I surely guessed MVP forfeited IPL 4 to rest his wrists. Still doesn't guarantee that he will be fine, it seemed pretty bad when I saw him at Ironsquid and GSTL.
I hope I can trust IM's tweet :/

MVP and Ryung to make it out of groups tomorrow for sure. Naniwa will fall quickly to MVP. When MVP has time to study a player as predictable as naniwa, he stands no chance at all at winning. Most of you are quickly to count him out because you haven't seen his play recently. Naniwa is not code S material just yet.

MVP's TvP was never good. He just has incredible TvT/TvZ which is why he succeeded lots, I doubt he'll have that success this season.

His TvP was rather decent at that period of time when he was dominating. I remember him pulling out 1 million variations of marine tank pushes and dominating players like huk. To be fair, terran was extremely favoured at that time thanks to 1 1 1 but his TvP is still good enough to match the likes of MC.

I think MMA lost that when he saw mass ling defence but continued to pressure with small armies, losing his hellions and tanks in the process. If he had held back for a later, bigger punch, Leenock wouldn't have been able to avoid spending gas on units (banelings, maybe roaches) - hence less upgrades, fewer infestors, maybe no burrow etc.

I hope MVP makes an epic comeback tomorrow. Since MMA is knocked out, I'm really hoping for MVP to take this GSL.

While true it wasn't like he was MMA levels of bad vs P, 63% KR and 68% int is pretty respectable.

He always found ways to win it, even if it wasn't the same brutally dominant play he showcased vT and vZ at his peak.

Couldn't watch all the matches but saw the end of Leenock vs MMA. That's a pity I couldn't see it, it sounded like a beautiful match. I'm happy that a zerg is qualified, there are so few remaining.

mostly lesser zergs though. I'm very pumped to see that encounter, they rarely ever meet.

Yeah, especially considering how well Nestea did on IPL4 I am pumped for that match.

He either played not very good protoss's in long games and looked like he was going to lose (im thinking of games vs creator when creator was a nothing player) or he all ins vs players he considers on his caliber to avoid playing the long game.

It already seems like Foxer will be the only terran hope for a GSL title this season.
