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.
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).
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 would love to see MKP pick MVP. Hahaha
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.
Who know.. MMA recently beat Polt, it might be the time for MKP to beat MVP !

i think leenock will get swooped up by the first protoss. mc should pick naniwa. now that's the kind of match i'd make popcorn for.
I don't think MC should pick a match he'll lose
Yeah, I'd have to agree with you. NaNiwa is not the safe choice for advancing into the Ro8. Those two have met three times in the past and have an overall map score of 4-4, NaNiwa has been winning the series the past two times. Also, it only really seems to be HuK that gives NaNiwa a huge problem in PvP.
I always used to think Virus looked a bit like a shark but he is indeed quite the handsome Terran. Pretty sure he is one of the few SC2 players at the moment that is bringing females into the studio just for him.
