I can only see this as a slap in the face to MLG. If Huk can and will do it (on top of going to Finland, Germany, and Holland, instead of going back to Korea), why not IMMvP? MVP would rather not reveal builds and suffer jetlag and lost practice time for a shot at $5000 when he's aiming for the 10x more valuable GSL Code S win, and to get his 3rd GSL like Nestea. Huk is flying all over constantly because he's obligated to due to his contract with EG.
Revealing builds? That's kind of silly. And what makes MvP so special that he won't suffer jetlag for his job? And if he loses to Nestea, he gets less than $2,000 dollars. Does he actually think his chances of getting at least Runner-up (the only prize pool > MLG 1st place) is higher than 1st place at MLG? And he can do both, he could go to MLG and be back for Code S, just like Huk.

Maybe he doesn't like the conditions? He does have CTS, playing for a long time does take a toll on his wrists. Also, the prize pool is a joke considering the competition.
Wouldn't he be playing less at a competition rather than training? And the prize pool is a joke, if he goes to MLG Raleigh, he would be the favorite to win 1st, which is higher than anything other than Runner-up in Code S.

If Huk can and will do it (on top of going to Finland, Germany, and Holland, instead of going back to Korea), why not IMMvP? maybe it just didn't enjoy anaheim that much and doesn't care that much about the possible 5k and instead he'll just keep practicing in korea, assuming he beats nestea tomorrow. Well, I guess Mlg wouldn't accept an answer from MVP if he loses to nestea tomorrow and suddenly says he wants to come 1 day before the event kicks off, no? Also MLG isn't just a weekend for the pros, they are jet lagged and lose precious practice time, especially if you are gsl win contender.
I'd say anyone in Ro16 could be a GSL win contender (at least most). But it could be possible he doesn't like MLG, but that almost seems selfish. I can't exactly understand not attending events just because he doesn't want to, considering his profession.

It's MVPs decision, going to mlg basically burn about one week of practice due to competing, traveling and being jet lagged. If I would have to face Nestea a couple days before MLG and potentially play in the ro8 afterwards, I wouldn't go to mlg either.

His match vs Nestea is moot, and Nestea is absolutely 100% the strongest player left. His Ro8 match will be much easier, and Huk and Nada have to do the same thing (totally forgot that Nada was going.) Huk and Nada go against each other the same day as MvP vs. Nestea, and Huk and Nada will go to Raleigh and then one of them will play in the Ro8. Except that the chances of Huk or Nada getting past Ro8 is lower than MvP's chances.

Tough group for incontrol, he's probably going down 0-8

Who knows...maybe his hc training will pay off, maybe he'll get crushed in 8 games... Time will tell, and can't wait for the games :D

i feel like theres generally less hype about raleigh than there was for anaheim. maybe because there was more time before anaheim to promote it and hype it up. im hoping for a great weekend though :D

If Bomber doesn't miss his flight, he will win this thing no matter what.

No offence or anything but is this Bomber hype actually based on something? I mean, I personally haven't seen anything that would prove that Bomber is far superior to everyone else. And even if he can beat foreigners, there's actually quite many very very good Koreans in the tournament as well.

70%+ winrate in all three matchups. -_- not hype.
