Are you sure? Aligulac has him at 266 atm, winning should put him at 291 + 5 from Blizzcon=296. Or am I forgetting something?


Aligulac already counted his 25k$ of today. Those guys are on point. But soon he will get 300k with Blizzcon and DreamHack Winter.

Yeah, I don't doubt, that he will end up over 300k in the very near future. In general, things are looking good for him in hunting earnings, since, if I understood it correctly, he doesn't have to go to the military anymore.

I guess that's manageable for MMA. Stardust is good, but at least it's not someone like Zest


I think it's a fantastic first round for MMA. So offense to Stardust, but there are some really scary players in this top 16.
For example, Hyun being n°1 will probably have to face Jaedong or Innovation.

Given that he'd probably have to beat more than a couple of top-class kespa players to do that, it would be pretty miraculous. But not many (other than Artosis) would begrudge him such a win, I guess


I wouldn't call it miraculous, Protoss hasn't been doing that good lately and it was his worst matchup. Still beating someone like Zest or cj herO might be really hard but he might not even face them. And in other matchups MMA shines and is atleast as good as anyone who will attend blizzcon not namingly soO or Innovation.

I would say MMA is only favored against Jaedong, jjakji or San.

Well, Flash did destroy Zest 4-1 and that is his weakest matchup so anything can really happen.
I dont see why MMA wouldn't be able to beat him

even if GSTL money isn't split evenly amongst the players, he's earned enough from GSTL to get him over 300k.

I wonder how aligulac factors team league money... Edit: looks like it doesn't.

Admit it, from the list of players in top 16, most of the players probably wish to face JD. Maybe not Hyun, because it is ZvZ, but other than that ....

It's usually not factored in, so that the total earnings are "earnings"+money from team+team league bonus. At least, that was my assumption.

I have done some work here, calculating all matches in WCS EU Premier League since 2013 (and excluding some placement matches in 2013 that are not relevant) and it turns out that MMA is not only the only player to win WCS EU twice, but he also overtook MC as the player with the most wins of all time in WCS EU PL. Here is the top part of the marathon table:

[image loading]

Unfortunately I don't know how to present the full table here (there are 63 players that have played in WCS EU PL so far). If anyone could help me with this, or perhaps is interested in presenting this in a table in the wiki section, I'd be happy to share the full data...

MMA fan rant

+ Show Spoiler +
Given a lot of time to prepare, I suppose he would stand a chance against a PvT monster like Zest/herO. But when it comes down to playing standard, imo as a pretty hardcore fan of MMA, he is only exceptional at TvZ and late game TvT. Compared to the likes of Flash, Inno and Taeja, he doesn't fare as well against P. His play lacks some additional dimensions, perhaps the sort which leads into scouting and reacting properly to tech switches (and not A-moving into 4 colossus with only 2 vikings, or drop into a main guarded by 8 chargelots and 2 templars) and also late late game army control.

I definitely think he can beat Stardust and be a good match for any of the Terrans / Zergs other than soO, but can you imagine if he was matched up against Zest, herO or Classic? That would be extremely difficult. It's not like in TvZ where you can trust him to come up with some high percentage play like proxy rax or a well executed hellbat push and yet have a good backup with powerful macro play. It's not like in TvT where he can use well planned early game strategies to get a great advantage, or where he can anchor his game on his trademark marine-tank style.

He'll have to figure something out, and it is not gonna be as simple as pulling SCVs, or dropping at the main while pushing the third, "money widow mine shots" or EMPs on clumped up templars into viking A-move as he can with lower tier Protoss. He will probably have to rely on some tricks to Mvp his way out of those matches, if you know what I mean. I just can't imagine a world where Zest with his ridiculous army positioning and control doesn't outgun MMA in the late game.

Of course, I'd love for him to win Blizzcon and make people happy, but realistically it's going to take a fair bit of bracket luck and some phenomenal preparation. It's not impossible, and it would be truly amazing, but realistically, ugh.
