No matter how much I love all the other guys, then, I've gotta cheer for Mvp. Be the final winner of 2012.

I wonder how his wrists are...
Considering Mvp just outright refusing to use bio lately is concerning to me.

you'd probably be happy for Mvp's dead wrists, anything to make it easier for DRG right? ;D haha

So excited for Mvp but if this is all Bo3 we could be here for a long time, possible 30 match's and tie breaks.

Should be some great games.

Comments:

Last year, Mvp vs. DongRaeGu would have been an epic match to see with both players hyped up as best TvZ (other than MMA) and the best ZvT respectively. Now, the match looks very different. Mvp has always looked vulnerable in 2012, yet no one would dare count him out. DongRaeGu is an amazing player but he has been in a huge slump for months now - a slump that looks almost insurmountable. Meanwhile, Mvp went 3-4 against GSL/MLG champion Life. Mvp looks like he has a clear advantage in his first match of the night.

Next, we have Mvp vs. PartinG. While PartinG has pretty good PvT, displaying good form in his WCG/WCS back to back championships, PartinG has looked stronger against Zerg with his famed Immortal/Sentry Soul push. His PvT is still fearsome, but Mvp's TvP has looked downright scary this year. Recently, he went 3-2 against Rain, 2-0 against Flying, 2-1 against sOs. Earlier in the year, Mvp went 4-3 against Squirtle and, notably, 3-1 against PartinG. Mvp will be looking to repeat that result at the end of the year.

Now, Mvp vs. HerO. People talk about the PvT of Rain and PartinG, but by God look at HerO's PvT! Somehow, HerO has gotten to be some sort of PvT genius this year, reaching almost 70% overall and winning 9 of his last 10 games in Korea and 10 of his last 10 games internationally! That's an unbelievable hot streak, and his victories include victories over Heart (2-0), Polt (2-0), Ryung (2-1), TaeJa (4-0), ThorZaIN (2-0), ForGG (2-0), Apocalypse (2-0), TaeJa (3-0), and Polt (4-2). That streak is unbelievably crazy and I think HerO might be the toughest opponent for Mvp in this group.

Finally, Mvp vs. Leenock. Leenock has looked pretty crazy himself with his IPL victory and MLG 2nd place, displaying strong strong ZvT. In fact, a lot of people would pin Leenock as the #1 player in the world at the moment, and they wouldn't be too far off. I would favor Leenock against just about every Terran including Polt, Bomber, Innovation, Ryung, etc. However, Mvp is different from all other Terrans, he has this mysterious ability to win win win. This match will be absolutely crucial for Mvp, and I'll be expecting to see some magic out of him once more.

(Besides, there was a patch nerfing Zerg. )

Prediction
Mvp vs. DongRaeGu
Mvp vs. PartinG
Mvp vs. HerO
Mvp vs. Leenock

Mvp 3-1, advances to the Round of 6.

Could be worse -- no possibility of TvT, at least

if this goes past midnight, fml haha. it's not unlikely, too, with some potentially long PvZ and TvZ incoming.

I remember some of the up/downs going like 20-25 games and some of the old GSTL when they used to have two match's in one evening but I think one of these days will be the longest GSL day to date.

DRG cares more about preparing for the up and downs (dont blame him. regular season >>> special event). His play hasnt been stellar lately. I wouldnt be surprised to see him go down 0-4 in a tough group
