Lookin' like a TvT finisher for Kiev honestly. Hope DIMAGA takes down Kas, but I think its goin' to be Kas versus MMA finals with MMA takin' first. Would love to see a foreigner take it though. Best of luck to all four!

Hey, I think you forgot the 3rd place match at 1700 CET http://www.esl-world.net/masters/season6/kiev/schedule/
(I know I might bug you, but the link to schedule really don´t show the schedule for me, only the streamlist, nothing below it)
And like always: nice work and thanks ^^

MMA going to take his first tournament win of 2012. Second big tournament of the year. This is a presumptuous "not bad!"
|
Predicting the obvious slaughterfest from MMA, and I reckon Kas will beat Dimaga. Then, Kas vs MMA, MMA will win. Obviously.
|
ZENIO MMA REMATCH! Its gotta be good
|
Kas vs MMA gogogo!! ^^
Souped to see how well these two monsters can do!
|
Happy that a foreigner is in the final, not happy about what the result is going to be, MMA is unbelievably good..
|
I'm actually kind of worried what will happen in Kas wins this. I know that he's really good, but if he manages to beat MMA/Zenio he's going to suddenly become even more hyped then he is now. I feel like out of all the really hyped European players (NaNiwa, Stephano, etc.), Kas may be the most over-hyped in comparison to his tournament results. NaNiwa's performance at MLG or Stephano's performance at IPL basically--in my opinion--made them deserve the hype they get. But Kas gets the same amount, and he hasn't won something/done as well at a tournament as big as those. If he wins this he's going to become so hyped it will be ridiculous.

Thinking Kas will take it all, hoping for Dima though !

Where are you getting the impression that Kas is as hyped as Naniwa and Stephano? It surely can't be from the size of their fanclubs. Nobody has written fanfiction about him or made a thread about how great of a player he is and what a beast he is on ladder. I don't feel like people really started talking about Kas as a true elite player until he beat MarineKing at WCG a month ago. Wouldn't beating MMA in a TvT BoX, which even MVP struggles to do, en route to winning IEM satisfy your main criticism that Kas gets hype despite not having any major tournament victories?
Beating Zenio wouldn't be quite as impressive but let's be real Zenio has 0% chance of beating MMA tomorrow.

Ukraine vs Korea finals!

I'd give Zenio 20%. MMA did not play that well today, TvP perhaps, or maybe other factors.

Sweet pictures : D
Gogo Kas, you can do this!
|
DIMAGA - Kas could get really epic. Hoping for DIMAGA but kas is such a beast as well. Also prefer a zvt finals, to be honest.
|
Feels like we'll have Kas vs. MMA in final, also I'd better have a non-mirror final !

Kas isn't overhyped, he's underhyped. There are people who see his real skill level, there are people who overestimate him, but for all those people, there are like ten times more who don't see him even close as good as he really is, so the ones overhyping him are actually just balancing the exepectations.
Kas has been one of the most consistently good players in Europe for ages and his fanclub is like ten pages long. He has possibly the best work ethic of any top foreigner and he simply improves nonstop.
He may not have the biggest offline results apart from WCG, but he is the online king in the foreigner scene.
I don't think he gets nearly as much attention as he deserves.

I'd say less than 20% chance in all honesty, unless of course MMA is not feeling it. The man loves his TvZ.

To be honest its still nothing compared to the undeserved hype Idra and Huk get, so I'm not sure what your major annoyance is.
