The humbled prince returns for another attempt at the crown. I'm rooting very much for the old school players.

MMA has been my favorite player since GSTL March 2011 when he beat IM_MVP in the championship ace match on Dual Sight. I still remember that match in its entirety and it's what got me into watching Starcraft II.

Best part is, it's now free to watch on GomTV. I'm going to watch it now.

No excuse to not watch it and get hyped (unless you are a hardcore MVP fan and need to get hyped by watching him crush face...)

I have a feeling that if there is a player who is likely to win Blizzcon it's MMA. Like he said during his run to 1st place in WCS EU S3 a while ago he has a fire in him and wants to get back to Blizzcon so he can hear the fans cheering and chanting his name. He's already won it before so he's got the experience, and he wants to taste it again, perhaps a little more than everyone else.

He's one of the most well rounded players in terms of MU's going into the tournament. I think that combined with his determination to win Blizzcon again makes him the favourite, even if it's near impossible to pick one.

Yeah seriously I want EVERYONE to watch this. This is what made Starcraft 2 for me. I had never watched it and had only played it a little bit before (just enough to know how the game worked), and my friend made me watch this live with him. I cried tears of joy at the end. Unforgettable.

Edit: OP you should put the video link your post and tell everyone to watch it.

super well written. NB : MMA won the super stacked Iron squid I on May 2012. I guess it didn't fit with the chosen narrative but should be added, right ?

These are so well written. It kinda reminds me of the brilliant articles that TL writers would do for the pro BW leagues from days of old. I'm getting more and more hyped after each one.

MMA was never crisp as he is today.
bio-mine fits him like a glove.
I don't think he can take Bomber's TvT, but if he can I think he can beat Soulkey.
He may be the only one in Soulkey's side of the bracket that can take Soulkey.

Honestly I think Soulkey is glad on his side of the bracket.
Jaedong, Taeja and MMA are the only real competitors to the players from GSL/OSL.
Rooting for whoever gets out of MMA v Bomber though :D

This article brings back memories of a time long gone, when we had a younger, more innocent and ultimately brighter outlook on the future of SC2. When MMA was leading the charge into a glorious new era when he forever left his impact upon us in these final moments:


I hope MMA can bring whatever it as that he had back then and leave us awe struck again!
