I honestly feel pretty emotional that these sc2 and bw legends basically get one last chance for a final "championship". I might actually tear up watching it. And the 50k prizepool for this is ludicrously large | ||

I remember he had big wrist issues, but also that most of his winnings he was using to help his family which didn't have a lot of money. hope hes doing well. Nice to see MC back. MMA I know was an overwatch coach of a succesful team, I think he no longer is but hopefully he is doing well. | ||

Then again, depending on how rusty the remaining players are maybe MC could win if he learns a few good builds. The games will probably suck no matter the outcome, but it'll be fun to see these players again. At least the prize pool is high enough that they'll be grinding hard. MMA played in Code S in 2018 season 3. My money would be on him | ||

My money would be on him http://aligulac.com/players/10-Stephano/ Stephano played far more recently and has a 2300 aligulac rating, MMA (http://aligulac.com/players/28-MMA/) has less than 2000. I would be highly surprised if Stephano did not win, even if other players practice as hard as they could. He likes money so he will probably bother practicing for the tournament, even if he is working at ESL atm (afaik?) | ||

Like a boss There is supposedly an account of "mma" at #69 KR / 5500 MMR (https://sc2pulse.nephest.com/sc2/?season=56&queue=LOTV_1V1&team-type=ARRANGED&kr=true&mas=true&gra=true&page=0&type=ladder&ratingAnchor=99999&idAnchor=0&count=1#ladder-top). If the prizepool is 50k$ they will probably try to practice as much as they can, should be interesting! | ||

"In this format 16 participants play until they have won 3 matches or lost 3 matches. The participants that win 3 matches advance to the next tournament stage while the players that lost 3 matches are eliminated. In each round participants are matched versus an opponent with the same match score. Usually rematches are tried to be avoided." Pseudo-Swiss format | ||
