He got 4th in the first MLG. EDIT: Of the season (Columbus)
To put that in context, even if he hadn't participated in any MLGs since, his 4th place would still have him in group play.
IMO, MLG needs to give out more points as the season goes on, so 4th place in Columbus isn't worth as much as 4th place in Raleigh/Orlando.
And how long is the season? It just strips the entire group play concept of any credibility when players with his "performance" manages to stay in groups for this long.
Wow I feel bad for incontrol, he's about to go 0-10 again. Can't wait for the IdrA boxer rematch now though! What new strat will boxer bring! Should be really really good games can't wait!
Pool A is ok. Boxer should take it easy, except maybe losing to Idra, but I doubt that. Pool B I'm actually looking forward to. Kiwikaki has stupid awesome PvT, and took a game off of Puma. I hope he can own both of them, though that is no easy feat.
Pool C is somewhat interesting. I want to see how HongUn can handle Slush+Ret, who are no slouches. Other than those, I think Rain is the only thing to look at for.
D is ridiculous. Pretty sure Socke will get trashed, but still... Idk if Huk, July or MC will beat DRG, who has showed me that I was 100% wrong about the first MLG he attended.

More like MLG giving Idra aka EG(NA) some hope.
If that was the case they would have swapped Huk for Idra. Boxer is practically guaranteed top 6 MLG by winning that group and they know it. Except he probably will lose to who comes from the open bracket.
Group A is incredibly weak compared to the other groups, and group D is the hardest in MLG history. Ill go boxer, Puma in an upset over Bomber, Rain by a hair. and DRG in a super tight set of matches. Nobody winning all 5 pool play matches in group D, guaranteed.
These groups need to be randomly drawn publicly at this point. Cronyism and impropriety will taint any sport that doesn't maintain transparency. Boxer could end up in Code S simply for beating Haypro, TLO, Drewbie, Idra, and winning two TvT's. That's why Killer stood up at the last Code S group drawing and said how DRG and MMA didn't deserve their Code S spots.
