MMA on a slump, Mana will never beat either Taeja or Mvp. Easy group for Taeja, prolly Mvp 2nd.
Group C: HOLY SHIT
MC good, JD average at this point, Curious average, MKP slumping... group C? Look at E or A
Calling MC only 'good' and Curious 'average', says a lot about judgement.
Curious has been so consistent. Look at the right, TLPD #4. MKP is slumping on a very very high level. People just expect him to win everything. MC being 'good' is the Code S finalist and most people decide between him and Taeja for best player in the world right now.

Don't know what you're talking about. MMA is in a big slump and MaNa is one of the weakest in Code S. Him and Taeja should quite easily make it out.
MMA is not in a slump, he just didn't feel like he's on form enough to participate in IEM. But he was awesome everytime was saw him recently: crushed his way through Code A and IEM Cologne KR qualifiers.
And when MaNa plays his best with additional korea training, he can take on everyone in this group (just watch TaeJa vs MaNa Assembly Summer 2012; and that was before he was in Korea)
When I saw rain in there, I was like "wait, how did he go from code b to code s that quickly. Did he win a tourney outside korea while I wasn't paying attention?"
Derp. Shoulda looked at the team name.
But, by all accounts, this is the most stacked sc2 tournament yet. I mean, when you have a group and you can make the argument that Curious should place 4th, you know it's a stacked group. But, there's even scarier ones. That's pretty freaking impressive.
new map looks awesome, so many terrans yay i need my tvt dose. Poor Mana will have to take out terrans that have so many fans, and booo no cheating and seeding kespa players with foreigners.
Holy shit are these groups stacked. It's near impossible to make predictions here... Group D and F look the easiest though... Mana might have a fighting chance to come out second after Taeja, he has only one match-up to prepare for after all. I gotta say, I always followed Code S very closely, and this looks like the most stacked season ever, hands down.
