Which group do you hope Polt lands in if he gets through open?.
Huk always seems to get the easiest groups/brackets recently. Although there are some Korean's in his group, so it won't be too easy for him. From the looks, it seems Koreans will be dominating once again.

You're telling me that Naniwa, who took out Nestea AND DRG at MLG providence poses no threat to that group/to drg?
Not gonna make the food poisoning excuse like everyone else, mostly because I don't need to. DRG beat Naniwa every other time they played, and improved alot more than Naniwa did. Not saying he "poses no threat", but yes easy group for DRG.

go go nani <3
I wouldn't call drawing the best player in the world easy. Rest of the group maybe, but DRG?
naniwa can beat him.
DRG mopped the floor with Naniwa at the Winter Arena...
and naniwa mopped the floor with DRG at the Providence.
DRG had food poisoning at Providence and he clearly has improved since then.
naniwa has improved as well.
You do know that kind of argument is for the fanclubs, right? You're not saying anything that isn't deeper than "he is the best player evar, he'll win Code S three times in a row".

because you make a unnecessary excuse.
"he was sick, he lose because of food poisoning, he got a headache"
These excuses are really unnecessary.
naniwa beat him because he was better than DRG at Providence.

Yeah, but viOlet's not a top Korean though. Definitely have a shot, but HuK's group shouldn't be too hard for him.

Providence was quite a while ago. DRG is easily the best ZvP player in the world and he showed that in MLG Arena/GSL.

Look, I'm sorry man, but that was an exception, DRG's ZvP is just too good right now as he proved to Naniwa at Winter Arena and at the Code S finals against a guy who took out the likes of Nestea, MKP, MC and aLive in a convincing fashion. I love Naniwa but it's pretty clear that DRG is the better player at the matchup at the moment.
I feel like this wasn't hyped or advertised well... It's three days before the arena before this was announced, I didn't even know until today, whereas for NY Winter Arena there was (ignoring those hype pics... my eyes) a lot of community awareness beforehand?
Also 50% protoss groups to boot lol I'm thinking 1 protoss in top4... Any more and I probably won't be watching [anyways], this comes between two midterms anyways ;_;
E: Beating someone in a set once doesn't necessarily mean one player is better than the other at the time. Lots of external factors play into the game, as well as the inherent luck-based aspects of the game (random errors from both opponents - if both make the same # of errors, each error carries a different weight)
