Either way, I'm anxious to see who will be making the finals this season as I will actually be in Seoul for the Code S finals on May 19.
MVP in a slump? I dunno that I'd go that far. Did you watch his games? His TvP was pretty awesome, and his second games against Ryung he played much better than in his first few.

Leenock, historically, has been one step ahead of naniwa at all times. also nani's vZ isn't that good, so picking a terran is better.

He needs to portray being humble since the Nestea incident.
When in Korea, act like a Korean basically.
I'm sure he is just as confident as he usually is.
What does that mean? MC boses it up with same overconfidence and smack talk there as here and they seem to like him.
People generally think that MC acts the same way in Korea as he does in foreign tournaments, but that's not really true. Yes, he is more on the confident side compared to other Korean players, but in Korea he is as humble as anyone.

He is fairly weak at LAN, or at least has been so in the past. I think he is scary as fuck in GSL though. He has taken down very big names in the past
I don't disagree, but it wouldn't shock me to see naniwa beat him. Naniwa was gonna be the underdog no matter who he picked.
Ya because he is a foreigner not because he is lacking inn skill. Naniwa has showed that he can beat every player put in front of him if he plays his best
What is the advantage that koreans have besides skill? This comment doesn't make any sense.
Better builds, better practice, better planning?
Naniwa lives in korea, at the ST house.
I was just answering your question of what advantages Koreans have other than skill. I didn't say that these pertained to Naniwa specifically at this point.
What i meant was the people will always underestimate foreigners compared to koreans. yes most of them are better than foreigners. but there foreigners that has shown that they can beat the best koreans. over and over again. Naniwa is one of them.

I dunno. Ryung was doing pretty well in both games, I'd even go as far as saying he was ahead, until he decided to mess up by not realizing the BC switch was coming and choosing that weird attack on Cloud Kingdom to donate his tanks to Mvp and put him way out of position for the counter attack.
