He has really mixed results. Sometimes he plays awesome, sometimes he does really bad mistakes and loses.

Bad? Of course not. Super scary and favorite to win? Not really.

I think group B and C are very even. This is how I would rank the players, best -> worst top -> bottom, in each group based on what I´ve seen from them. If these matches would be played I could see all of them go either way.

Bomber < MMA
Idra > Kiwikaki
Select > Sjow
Ret = Moonan
Tyler < Sheth

Hope that naniwa stomps everyone again. I think the loss in TSL will drive him to win this MLG, and I really hope that TLO gets some revenge on InControl.

Dear lord, when you talk about groups of death, Group C certainly comes to mind. IdrA really doesn't have good luck when it comes to groups.

At least he still seems to dominate anyway. IdrA fighting!

Hope IdrA and SelecT make it out of C.

I will make a substantial be that they do

yeah he beat mvp in a tvt losing to select just won't happen unless he gets owned by jet lag.

mma is my pick to win the tourny. best ace in gstl and gstl is unpredictable for matchups and maps and thats what mlg is.

Yeah I think that MMA vs Bomber could definitely be a final. I want MMA to win but I don't know if he can handle Bomber, but who knows. I wonder how much these players will be effected by jet lag and how much it will effect their games. I kind of want IdrA to win it, though, just because he's such a solid player. But despite the Koreans and the Group of Death (C that is, anyone who says B looks scarier is stupid), I think NaNiwa could easily take this tournament. He'll almost certainly take his group 4-0, but I wonder how he'll match up against Bomber and MMA.

What's the big deal about Group C? Ret and Nony aren't scary whatsoever.

All the players in group C are Korean or have practiced in a Korean progaming house.

Naniwa gets the easy ride to the finals. The true test will be for him to beat losira and then winner of B and C basically...

When you consider someone as good as Nony/Ret the worst person in a group, you have to think its a scary group.

I find it interesting how quickly some people write off nony. Theres no doubt he's been in a slump, but it's not as if he is losing all his games. He lost in tsl to the eventual winner, he had a pretty tough group in the last mlg, and he's 2-3 in the nasl. These are definitely sub-par stats from the nony we love, but he's not really being dominated. Lately he's been playing well in the NASL, so i'm really excited to see if this is where we see the return of nony to top form. I really think that this could be a very interesting storyline. He has a chance to continue his slump and lose to some great players. Or, if he manages to make top 2 in the group of death, I think the storyline of all of MLG Columbus will be the return of nony.

Im liking Bomber and Idra for Group C, while the rest of the group is indeed very high level, I just have an incling that those 2 have the little extra umph that will cause them to prevail out of the group. For Group D, I think the discussion comes from who will be 2nd, as I cannot see Losira do anything except dominating that group.

Wow pool C is just crazy. Going to be some awesome games coming out of that group.

I think there is a good chance that Nani might not drop any games...we will have to see.
