I only know what MC said on twitter a while ago but it sounded like MC talked about working conditions for the lower end progamers and how difficult it is for them to make it big. Something along the lines of "you see myself and other champions making lots of money but there's heaps more who get nothing even though they practise like robots". The newspaper seems to have misrepresented his views and made it sound like MC is critical of the progaming scene or something. | ||

Lately after leaving oGs, I feel like I have become distant with my friends. I want to say sorry to Huk and Jinro for not contacting them often Thats nice from MC. Also, its no wonder Virus won his group, he's practicing with Parting. Everyone else's high templar look puny in comparison. | ||

I think, if another Protoss gets a GSL championship then MC will feel threatened. As of now, he's still comfortably ahead in terms of results, both recent and overall. | ||

Love how confident MC is. Would love a rivalry of sorts between him and Parting; both are very interesting players. Will be interesting to see who MC picks tomorrow. The logical choice for him would probably be a zerg, but he seems intent on proving his PvT is as strong as Parting's and MC doesn't usually pick according to what gives him the easiest group. I suspect MC will pick a fairly strong terran. Maru would likely seem too easy and look like MC is trying to get an easy win (despite Maru being no push-over), thestc and supernova are on ogs so he won't pick them. The only terrans remaining then are virus, mvp and taeja. Taeja is Liquid which might mean MC won't want to play him, but as he wasn't on liquid when MC was on ogs I don't know if it matters to him. MVP has wrist problems and hasn't been looking too strong lately. I think MC will pick Virus to prove that today was a fluke. | ||

His statement about Genius picking a player makes me think it's likely to be a Zerg. There are only 2 Zergs, so it's more likely to depend on what another player picks. | ||

Parting has never made it to ro4, hasn’t won a championship, and there’s a big difference in prize money won. Bosstoss laying down the law! Thanks for the interview  | ||

They sure as hell don't need to be in a group together for 2 to go through, at least  He wants Parting to pick him so that he will not have to face Mc. just joke but it is reasonable... | ||

You forgot about mkp, given MC's personality, i think he will try to pick and take out players who is being hyped everyone to uphold his pride( he has done it by picking mvp when mvp was dominating much harder than mkp currently is). on the other hand if he want easy wins, he should definitely pick maru. | ||

Unless I'm mistaken MKP will himself get the first pick in a group. Therefore MC cannot pick him (or Parting or Genius). | ||

Parting MC and genius are top 3, the no four spot is a tie between mvp, mkp and oz, if they use last year's ranking as a tiebreaker, then mvp is gonna get the nomination right. | ||

Is there a reason why MKP will get a first pick? I mean IIRC it's top 4 GSL 2012 points ranking and Genius, PartinG and MC take the top 3, however the fourth is divided by the remaining last season's Ro16 (MKP,Mvp,Oz and SuperNoVa) edit: Wow the person above me managed to ninja exactly what I just said. | ||

I was just looking at rankings on Liquipedia without consideration for ties. Then I'm not really sure. My comments were made assuming MKP was not a potential pick. However on the LP article of this code S Genius, MC and MKP have been given their own ro16 groups. I have no idea why they have done this, and why parting hasn't been given the last group yet. But LP usually has a better grasp of the rules than me, so maybe they know something. | ||

With only two Z left, I could see Parting even take the whole thing. Indeed, they've been crushing face this last week, they could pretty much all go through on their own terms in different groups. | ||

There is no way that will happen lol. MKP is probably still scared shitless of MVP. When MVP hits his stride again, mkp will fall before him again. TvT isn't so much of a micro battle like the other MUs, it's about strategy and MVP is a tactical genius. | ||
