I think this will go something like 5-3 to Mista, just because he seems to have really good PvP

Looking forward to this, though pvp is often similar to coin flip, a bo9 should provide enough games to judge who is the best

Sadly I don't know anything at all about Mista. Let's hope he shows us some good games so that we may learn more!
(He doesn't even have a Liquipedia page, make it happen R1CH you wizard).

Hm... White-Ra's gone toe-to-toe with MC a few times. Mista seems new to the pro scene.

I think White-Ra's slightly favored. Or maybe that's just the fanboy in me

Either way, it's PvP, so it's probably tough to predict a winner (unless you're Elfi or Inori, etc.).

Best of luck to both players! Looking forward to some good games and special tactics ^^
