People totally overestimating MC... And underestimating Jaedong... Three second place finishes in premier tourneys is pretty good. He's definitely getting better over time. Rain/Jaedong

Forgot to mention MC's GSL 2nd place in 2012 as well as the timeline of him having a girlfriend with his standing as a player.

'His relentless pursuit of wealth' is actually the most reasonable thing a progamer can accomplish in their short-lived careers. Great write up!

Rain will make it, no doubt. Would be really cool to see Jaedong and MC advance together, but that's probably not going to happen. As long as Welmu doesn't make it out, I guess I have to be satisfied.

Either way, great writeup on MC.

Rain should be used to PvProleague, so I don't expect him to fall out there. I wouldn't count Jaedong out though, his JvP improved - and let's be honest, MC and Welmu are not exactly the hardest guys. With a bit of luck, it might go this way for JD:

MC > Welmu
Rain > Jaedong
Jaedong > Welmu
MC < Rain
Jaedong > MC

I'm just not expecting Welmu to do well somehow

I think that if Welmu will go to ro8 he must win his first match against MC. Rain will most likely win Jaedong and Welmu vs Rain might be really good for Welmu because I don't expect Rain to know who Welmu is and how scary his pvp can be, it might catch Rain offguard (And Welmu most likely knows everything about Rain)

If Welmu vs Jaedong happens I have a feeling that JD wins, I think he might be the hardest opponent for Welmu.

Prediction:

Welmu > MC
Rain > JD
Welmu < Rain
MC > JD
Welmu > MC

MC and Rain looks logical but I don't know why, I think there will be an upset and JD is going to make it. Welmu has a decent PvP iirc but I don't think he can take more than one BO3.
So I predict JD and Rain to go through.

From here on forward I'm going to put all my effort to be perceived by everyone as a strong player. I'm sure there were many people who predicted Byung Goo hyung's victory but I'll make sure nothing as such happens from now on. source

I know Jaedong ZvP is bad but not this bad. He has a good chance to qualify. He learned how to stop 2 base all-ins.

Find this article pretty disappointing in terms of how it is written and a tad disrespectful :S The meaning behind it is not bad but the way it is worded makes it sound pretty awful >.< (The MC part that is)

Also being the player with the biggest prize money winnings to me says your the best player...MVP has one the biggest competitions and the most times, but he rarely stepped out of Korea in that time where as MC was globetrotting his way picking up cheques left right and centre, that is why if he gets top of that money list he thoroughly deserves to be the best which he clearly would be as he has won the most money...

I think the predictions are right but i would say;

MC
Rain
Jaedong
Welmu

I just see Jaedong winning one of his JvPs ^_^

So on prizemoney alone, he's been getting 125k dollars a year, then you add salary and sponsorships on to that and he's making so much money

No wonder hes putting a few pounds on :p
