Symbol is 5-0 against MKP in preparation style tournaments. MKP is favored against two protosses but symbol favored against him.
Why do you leave MLG out of the preparation tournaments? MLG groups were out long enough for him to prepare and MKP beat him 2-0 at MLG. I don't even put much stock in the iron squid games. MKP played those the day he returned from IPL 4 and symbol cheesed him all 3 games.
My goodness, good luck to whoever is writing prediction of group B. This, I don't even know who's going to come through... All of them are capable of knocking each other out, crazy group, staying up for all the games today. This is one of those times I actually voted for who I want to win instead of voting for the most capable ones.

*cheesed* LOL. More likely MKP got punished for being greedy.
Also tournaments like MLG all about stamina, not preparation.
So little love for MC in the polls. Last I checked MC is still the only Korean protoss to have won a major tournament in 2012, and we're already halfway through.

Also yes, it was definitely cheesing. But hey ho, he beat MKP in standard games last GSL.

You don't have to win a tournament to be impressive. Squirtles second places in GSL and IPL4 are far more impressive than all of MC's performances this year.
