naniwa vs zenio (ppl are seriously underestimating him) and MMA vs HerO in the semifinals, probably zenio vs mma in the finals but if naniwa makes the finals im pretty sure he'll take it.


MMA's TvP is not that good, but it would be unrealistic to count MMA out against Naniwa. Last time they played in the same tournament, Naniwa failed to win a single game and MMA won the tournament. Naniwa is certainly good, but he's barely even Code A caliber. Now, I am not saying that MMA is certain to win against Naniwa either, just that I would say MMA is the heavy favorite against all players in this tournament.

It almost seems unfair, sending MMA to a tournament with a relatively weak competitor pool. Naniwa, Hero, Zenio are the only players who have a reasonable chance against him. Still, this is SC2, and upsets can happen.

Once again a organization failing to get Chinese players to their event. I understand there are many circumstances where it is out of their hands. As long as IEM continues to host a yearly event in their country I am happy. But how much longer is it going to take for Chinese players to be able to participate in foreign events other than ones in Korea?


IEM or better said Intel are the only ones who care about the chinese scene atm and at last years IEM China a lot of chinese players declined their spot to attend another tournament in China. ESL does a lot of stuff that i don't agree with but out of all the threads in this section I think this is the one where your post belongs the least to.

This has to be one of my favorite group of Korean invites ever. Im really looking forward to Zenio play and I would love to see HerO do well but . . . He's just been underperforming lately. Naniwa is the scariest player that has ever come out of Europe and MMA is kind of good at this game.

Edit: One thing about MMA however - he seems weak against Protess players, and if there is anything in abdudance here it is that. If he is removed from tournament (which still doesn't seem likely) I don't know who is the favorite to win it all.

More interested to see the potential breakout players from Europe than the top-calibre players attending. That said Zenio hitting a foreign tournament is cool to see.

Titan has a growing reputation about him and is apparently terrifying at PvT, and an insanely hard worker so perhaps he might bust out at this tournament. He certainly looked handy when I saw him play at Dreamhack, guy's control is nice. As a Grubby fan(boy), I also hope to see him finally make another long run in a tournament, his play is really looking like it's coming together but then I've said that for quite a while now.

I also forsee Hero making a good run, defeats the two Code S Koreans there, wins the thing and still gets called overrated

Zenio, MMA and HerO?! The groups look nice, especially Group B and D! I wonder if Kas will make his big impact on his home country.
With an average game length of 7m36s over his 6 games in GSL3, this is a no-brainer. BitByBit pulls more SCVs than yo momma at a club on Mar Sara. ♞

same... although mostly just because they're korean.

That doesn't mean I wouldn't be overjoyed to see an underdog come through the ranks
