MMA's TvP is relatively bad, in comparison to his TvZ and his TvT, both of which are incredibly good. That being said, MMA's TvP winrate in international tournaments is 82% percent. Granted, the sample size for his international TvP is not especially large (11 games total), but it still reveals that MMA's relatively poor TvP comes from playing top Korean protosses such as MC, Puzzle, Oz and Sage.

Basically what I am trying to say is that MMA's TvP is relatively weak, yes, but he is not JYP in the sense that he has a huge achilles heel. His record against foreign protosses is still very solid. Hero, Naniwa and Hasuobs are the three protosses that have the best chance of an upset, but since Hero and Naniwa will only meet MMA in Bo5 or Bo7, the chance of an upset is even smaller.

It is going to be hard to stop MMA this tournament.
