I want MKP to lose in the ro8 or ro4 and not make it to the finals because it'll be too painful to see him get another silver

Wow, I just want to say that everyone saying how great the article is and they'll be watching the rest of the tournament because of it is really awesome and makes me super happy I wrote it.. If you can go into any match with a solid story behind it, the match will be ten times more awesome due to the suspense and to see which story will end for the player.

Also, I really do think Choya and TheBest are evil. One of them talks himself repeatedly and laughs like a madman while the other just smirks like he's thinking up some evil plan to all-in you.

I would really like to see MarineKing's reaction after a win. They'd have to run him down in the parking lot to give him his trophy. Many cool stories, even if the finals are the usual disappointment, at least there will be a cool player story.

You should definitely apply for the TL SC2 writer position if you have the time. Really nice preview and kinda educates people who under rate players like Polt...

Line has this. Right?

Right?

But joking aside, I always root for the underdog and I would like to see a zerg win. It could happen :D

This write up is actually so well done. Really did a great job of giving a story line to each one of these players, and they are all so fitting.

I'm sad that people are bored or disappointed by the top 8. I don't think I've ever been quite so excited.

Brilliant brilliant brilliant writeup! I was captivated and read everything!

I laughed so hard at the villain description of TheBest. I want MKP to win but it'll be so funny to read the haters' comments if the unthinkable happens.

Awesome write up. Honestly, I would be happy with just about anyone winning this event. I don't really buy into the whole matchup luck thing either, although it is hilarious/ridiculous (take your pick) that MMA could TvT the entire road to the championship. Only Line could find himself in a similar position should he and Polt meet in the semi-finals; everyone else has played all the match ups. I'm picking MMA to win but am hoping for a MKP victory (one time...!)

Why do people think this? Is it because he lost the Losira last season 0-2 to the same two base roach ling pressure?

Statistically he is 7-4 (which is statistically his weakest, but by a slime margin) in his sets against zerg which you cannot say is bad, he just took out Leenock who might not be NesTier (see what I did there) but definitely an excellent zerg who defeated aLive and Clide to get the Ro16 (both Code S terrans, and statistically that is Leenock's weakest matchup).

Maybe it's because he makes some funky decisions but wins because he has superior control and wins fights with FF and blink micro?

I don't see him going down to Polt easily, and if he does manage to make it to the Ro4 I think he will be the favourite against either Top or Line, just because both those players do not have any notable success against Protoss relative to Polt.

Overall you can't really say much because it's only 11 games (where he has defeated the likes of Nestea, Losira, Zenio, to name a few) but you can't say its bad.


Jinro is not "people." Someone who lives and plays professionally in the South Korean scene is not arbitrarily deciding who is good and who isn't; you can trust that he knows what he is talking about. Your point might have some merit but I'm more inclined to go with someone in the know than someone pulling statistics -_-

Can't happen. It's going to be MMA vs MKP in semis if anything I think. Best scenario for the finals would probably be MKP/MMA vs Alicia.

Well at least the Protoss and Zerg won't be knocking each other out until at least the semi finals.
I'm really hoping this is the GSL that MarineKing wins. I'm concerned about his path though because his TvT doesn't seem as impressive compared to his other two matchups.

To be fair, he did some pretty good analysis along with pulling statistics. IdrA called Nestea bad and look what happened with that claim. I'd not saying Jinro is lying and I agree that Alicia's weakest matchup seems to be PvZ, but I'd like to know if Jinro has any firsthand knowledge or if he's just forming his opinion of Alicia's PvZ like most people are: by watching his matches.

Anyway, if TOP beats Line I could see Alicia in the finals, easily, if he can get past Polt.
