With complete honesty can you say that illusion is the same tier as HerO. MMA. or DRG? There is just no way. I wouldn't even put a decent Code A/S korean up that high.

MMA is Code A, and I don't think Hero is the same level as MMA or DRG, either. Let's just wait and see how Illusion does. This could be the making of a great underdog story.

Honestly, this should be easy money for DongRaeGu. DRG vs MMA still has potential to be a great final given their past series, but I'm not hopeful given the state of the matchup. If Illusion ends up playing DRG he is going to get steamrolled, hard. But I can definitely see an upset vs MMA and HerO. Especially MMA given his recent 'slump' and Illusions TvT.

Illusion seems really out of place for this kind of event. I think a bigger player pool would have been more appropriate if they wanted champions and underdogs for one event.

Regardless I hope he shows em what up.

It's like LastShadow at Red Bull Battlegrouds all over again. Nothing against the guy but out of all the players for that amount of money why Illusion? Especially compared to the other 3.

I am pretty sure that DRG will take this, Hero could have a upset tho, MMA will most likely win a game that everyone was sure he had lost and illusion will try his best to take a few games. Don't underestimate Hero this seems like somthing he could win despite DRG being favored, all said tho good luck to illusion i hope he does well honestly

LastShadow and Illusion couldn't be more different.

LastShadow is a recluse in the SC2 community, known and acknowledged by his fans only. He had no tournament participation prior to the RBG for 2 years, made no attempt to participate or join the foreigner community, and had a bad reputation before and going in and now after, especially for his extremely rude and abrupt departure without notice.

Illusion on the other hand has been part of the community since the beginning, has streamed many hours, given replay packs, posting on TL, participating in tournaments, joining small clans and eventually bigger and bigger teams, and acknowledged by many professionals as NA's premier talent.

His results at IPL4, MLG, and even his performance in his RBG group, has shown that he is a very talented individual worthy of recognition.

Though I will agree with you and say that despite everything I just said, he's completely out of place compared to the other three.

I'm glad that Illusion will be taking home $1000, better than nothing. Good prize distribution.

I think the only player that can challenge DRG for the win is Hero with the current state of TvZ.

And good luck to Illusion, you will need it!

Illusion seems to get so much credit and hype without the results. I sincerely hope he does well, but this invite seems out of place when getting last place gives 1,000. In other words, he can be completely below everyone else in skill, but still walk away with a nice amount.

Fun fact: illusion beat Ryung and GanZI before, so there might be a chance that he will beat MMA if the bracket allows them to play against each other.
DRG is the favorite here Fosho

Outside of Iron Squid, which was a weird tournament, what has MMA done? Illusion's name has been talked about more than MMA's the past couple of months. Im interested to see what he can do against the best zerg and a top 5 toss in the world.

MMA beat MKP in Star Wars Qualifier. Got 4th at IPL. Illusion is definitely the underdog against MMA.

but at the same time, MMA lost to Goody at MLG Spring Arena 2.

Hard to say how MMA really is playing right now. He's been very inconsistent this year.
