As for Polt, a win at the season finals could push him into the top four all time, alongside the holy trinity of Mvp-MC-Nestea. Without giving away too many details of a future article that's guaranteed to spark infinite controversy, we currently have Polt fighting with MMA, Life, and DRG to entered that hallowed tier.


In the hallowed tier, there is only Mvp. No one else. Not Nestea, not MC. Just Mvp.

Can someone please explain to me why vortix is playing? And not, let's say Naniwa. Must have missed something, thought is was the Top 16 in WCS points? Vortix was'nt even close right?

At this point, I'd consider both Life and MMA to be more accomplished than Nestea.

"Aside from the tournaments where they took first place, both players have made countless deep runs into tournaments, and it's no surprise they are #1 and #2 on the all-time earnings ranking" They aren't... please correct. #1 and #4

Everytime season finals come suddenly sc2 feels like such a great entertaining game. So many to root for yet so many must fall.

People hate WCS season finals? (Referring to the first sentence of the article)

Personally, I think this will be totally awesome. Really looking forward to it. So many of my favorite players are in there, so some are bound to advance.

Pretty much the default picks, though I hope that HerO can overcome his problems against Oz and win

Is because they can all beat each other and all have cases to get out of the group.
MMA Trap Jaedong Genius
MMA Won EU, can beat the 2 protos and can beat Jaedong
Jaedong can either own everyone all will fail to get out
Trap can show more than enough skills if he has been practising with Dear to win this group easy
Genius if he has practised can give every a good solid game

Thanks for the write up. This season finals might be the hardest to predict yet.

Nice preview btw, especially duckdeok's part. Made me want to cheer for him!

Like I said earlier. I find Group D the most intriguing. The other groups are pretty easy to predict. Group D on the other hand. Good luck with your picks.

Nice writeup. Your caps are screwed up on SoO's name though. Not sure if that was intentional.

One nit on the article -- MC and Polt are actually #1 and #4 on the earnings list, not #1 and #2. At least according to the link in the article.

You're thinking of Blizzcon. This is season 3 finals, which is a precursor to that, and was qualified for by placing in top 5 (in KR or EU) or top 6 (NA) in WCS premier leagues.
