MMA knocked him out in the ro4 of Blizzard Cup 3-0 and beat him in the GSL finals so I think this is still some Mvp revenge time  | ||

It's MMA who needs to revenge. | ||

Last two times they played Mvp won 2-0 and 2-1. Also, in WoL mech was stronger in theory but good bio player could still do wonders to negate its advantages. With the addition of hellbats and upgrade changes, mech really is superior to bio and since MMA was never a meching player while Mvp basically does only mech in TvT, this time I would definitely give edge to Mvp because if MMA goes bio, he will play from a disadvantage on most maps but if he goes mech he will have to beat Mvp at his own game. | ||

They are punished by getting paired with top finisher of each group, who is evidently stronger by placing higher. You only have problems with nationality right? | ||

As far as the groups go, poor Bunny was rooting for him to advance but man is it going to be tough now. If he can play some killer TvT I could see him having a chance against mvp, and if MMA pulls one of his "i'm going to suck for no apparent reason" then maybe he will get lucky. | ||

Exactly, this poster is right. When you talk about a group of death, it really should be something special. Life, Innovation, Parting and Flash was a group of death, because these were all obscenely skilled players In Brood War, there was once a group comprised of Jaedong, Bisu, Flash and Sea. Now that is a fucking group of death People throw around the term quite loosely, and it really cheapens the value. In Group A, we have Mvp and MMA, who are two of the most accomplished players in SC2. But they are only 50% of the group. Then we have Vortix who is just a good foreigner, and Bunny, who is relatively unaccomplished. It's more like Half of a Group of Death. Now if you threw Jjakji and MC into that group as well, then you got yourself a Group of Death. | ||

Maybe instead of a Group of Death poll the question should be something like "which group are you most looking forward to". I realize that's not asking exactly the same thing, though. The No Group of Death option is definitely good one to have. | ||

Group A: MVP beats Bunny, Vortix vs MMA I think Vortix eeks it out, as the hardest match for him in the group. Then he should beat MVP and MMA easily deals with Bunny and should proceed to defeat MVP. Group B: Jjakji vs Grubby could really go either way, Dayshi beats Snute. Grubby could make it out first place if he wins vs Jjakji and then Dayshi, however if he meets Snute he will drop out first. But I think Jjakji should be the small favourite in that matchup and him and Dayshi should make it out. Group C: Welmu beats BabyKnight, Stardust should eek it out vs TLO even though it's quite a close match. Then I slightly favour Welmu even though it sounds crazy and it really comes down to Stardust and TLO in this group, BabyKnight should drop out first. Group D: I think Nerchio beats MC, San beats Bling, MC beats Bling, Nerchio beats San in the sickest series evahh and MC beats San. | ||

Victory over MMA in a Bo5 last time they played offline. Consistent high-level performance against Korean opponents. You mark my words, Vortix WILL advance from the Group of Death. I honestly think he's got a good shot too. Starcraft has gotten so competitive all of the tournaments have been awesome lately. So many good players, so many good games!
