Yep, the top favourite should be MMA considering his seed.

Artosis has an incredible record for picking tournaments. He picks nearly ever MLG and foreigner tournament, and usually has gotten the GSL right.

No, he is blowing the "terran doesn't lose to random shit" horn.

It has been proven quite true over the last year.


'He SHOULD have won, but he plays zerg.' - Idra, 5 minutes or so ago, referencing a game in which Nestea didn't lose to random shit but instead pissed away a huge lead.

Why do they bother talking about things they know nothing about. They can't even come up with the name of the ASUS ROG tournament...

They're not speaking on the PPSL because they really don't know much about it, and they want an AZK member to speak on it.

There are people from the community reaching out trying to clarify things, but JP wants someone from AZK to clarify. It sucks that they really didn't read on it because "there was too much stuff" but I guess they just didn't want to get anything wrong. I wish they went into it, and at least asked for details from those who were reaching out but they have no obligations to listen to us whatsoever and this is totally understandable.


Well, but to be honest they should probably not bring that up if they didn't really want to talk much about that without someone from AZK.




The details community members know are directly from AZK members. I do think it's the right call they didn't bring anyone on who wasn't AZK, but I wish JP asked for some details so he could have spoken on it for a bit.

Eh, there are a lot of things going on anyway. They have a lot of things to talk about.

MVP has proven to be the better player many many times. Too bad he play T and people think he wins because of his race.

As I recall some people saying, Nestea was good but then had to go to the army. After being behind in the game for a year (or however long army service is) he couldn't adapt fast enough and was put on the 2v2 team.

Not saying Nestea was the best player in BW but that he had potential.

Yeah, winning 3 GSLs doesn't count as "skill."

Do you listen to yourself talk? Is there a misunderstanding here because I don't understand Bronze League?

Might actually get that Naniwa vs Nestea rematch in the global invitational at MLG :D. I have a feeling Naniwa will upset MVP.

It wasn't that difficult to predict MLG. The only one that was truly an upset was MLG Orlando.

Then again every time I hear Artosis prediction he ends up getting it wrong, maybe I just wasn't there when he actually makes the right one

They should talk about Hiya's streaming, even though it's about BW. :D Because it's flipping epic to have a Top 20 Kespa Rank player streaming.

Because he picks the best player. I'm surprised fewer people said MMA. He should be the clear favorite. He's seeded in the top 4 and has beaten MVP and Nestea in GSL if they get to him.

Of course Artosis is such a mech biased player and is butthurt from being so wrong for the GSL finals that he will refuse to acknowledge MMA's skill in TvT. Bio + Tank is perfectly fine against Mech for most of the game.

Well, isnt forGG a better BW player since he actually won a starleague? And of course, Boxer, Nada and July were all powerhouses during their time and arguably could be considered better.

About the picks for MLG:
MVP and Nestea are very good players, but they actually do not have a good chance to win it all because of the number of matches they must win just to make it to the championship bracket. Nestea is great in the GSL, where he has 1 opponent to prepare for each week in advance (3 for groups). At MLG, he will be playing 7+ different opponents per day, in a stacked open bracket. Nestea is a great preparation player, but it remains to be seen if his performance will stay consistent under the magnitude of matches that he must play.

The same case can be said for MVP, except that MVP has played in MLGs, but was in pool play and could prepare ahead of time for his opponents as well. In addition, his carpal tunnel syndrome is definitely a concern, but how much it affects him when he has to play so many matches remains to be seen. The last time MVP was forced to play so many matches was at Blizzcon, and he ended up exhausted and was convincingly defeated by MMA in the GSL finals. Will the same happen at MLG? This all remains to be seen.

In fact, from looking at the number of matches and seeding position, one could argue that Huk and Idra have better chances to win than Nestea and MVP. I understand such a statement is blasphmeous, but seeding advantage is just too great.

When was the last time a foreign T won anything big? ThorZain in TSL3? Has it ever happened with Korean participants?
