Nerchio is quite good, yo edit
and Mana just won ESWC over ForGG
Scarlett just beat Bomber & Hero and lost 2-1 to Heart Soo and Daisy as well, I would also name her as a foreign hope.

Take it easy now. Ofc Life can lose, he lost to hyun in Fight club. Life is amazing and one of the favourites to take this but why do we have to overhype as soon as someone is playing great?
he advanced in the up/downs but lost in code s to mma and taeja, not an embarrassment haha
My bad, he did barely get through, but lost so hard in the first group stage.
He went through top of his Up/Down group...
No, technically he got through with the least margin possible. Out of two places he got the second.
But man, those games against Taeja and MMA was painfully bad. Even his DH finals was a bad series. Not meaning to disrespect, but I didn't feel he deserved it.
Any predictions how long todays games will take? I have to go out and will be back around 3-4PM tournament time, I don't remember at what time the previous MLGs sundays concluded...
I just sent my boss a text message (its 9:15pm Sunday night here in Western Australia) as I have work tomorrow morning and MLG starts at midnight my time.
"Hey - I know its late notice, but can I book tomorrow off as annual leave?"
Oh my, I just got to the computer and have already begun to f5 the bracket tab. I guess it's one of those backbone mechanics they talk about. Think it's time to go pro at viewing.

Yes, but Mana would have been lucky to break into the Top 32 at this tournament, imho.
So MaNa can´t do smth. Suppy/Gowser or Daisy for example could? Thats a really intersting statement, which I strongly disagree with. Tbh. if he can beat Spehano, he can beat every zerg in the wolrd except maybe Life ( not saying he is favored against others, but they are in his range) and that is his worst MU. Hwangsin and daisy made it into the money and, no offense to them, but they are not really comparable to MaNa.
Mana is quite bad actually. I'm maybe not being fair, but whenever I see Mana play I get the feeling that he does clutch things and wins over players with much better mechanics because they weren't prepared. I mean, look at that Dreamhack he won, and those GSL matches that he was utterly demolished in.
In his first GSL matches he defeated Keen and Hyun and after that he just got a really hard group. The loss vs. asd was not so good ofc., but in the end that was just one bo3. If you think, he is a bad player, pls watch his replays against Sage at DH for example. Ofc. Sage is no top-tier-opponent, but the level of play, MaNa showed there was just incredible. He is very inconsitent, so you may watched him on a bad day, but tthe guy has 8 premier tournament medals now, being no.8 in the world in that statistic (no. 2 of foreigners), with only MVP, MMA, MC, Stephano, Nestea, DRG and MKP in front of him, so he can´t be bad.
He might still not be as much experienced ( we can see it when naniwa made some weird-looking timings), but when it comes to standard play, i must say i found him extremely impressive.
I'm sad Scarlett is out, I feel like she beat the opponents she weren't supposed to and lost to the ones I would consider her better than (with the possible exception of soO, I don't know anything about him). Did she choke?
