lol, poooor mana. probably the toughest group to get thrown into. only advantage i see for him is that he has to practice only one matchup.

i think mma wont be in form and mana will be brutally outclassed, so that taeja and mvp move on.

TaeJa and Mvp for me. I still think that MMA is fragile, while MaNa really has no chance in this group in Bo3 series against some of the best Terrans in Korea.

Holy shit this is the group of ultimate death. Mana's PvT is amazing while MMA's been faltering especially in TvP and MVP has wrist problems... I'll go on a gamble and say Mana (I believe!) and Taeja.

I think mana has a shot, even if he doesn't make it through I think the games will be reasonably close, since MKP had mana as a practice partner, and he made it through.

I'll say TaeJa and MMA. TaeJa, obviously, has just been so on form recently, so that is a clear pick. I choose MMA because I think he is going to have a strong determination after his recent slump, and he's going to feel the need to prove himself again. A determined MMA is going to be a tough battle, no matter how poor his recent results may have been.

fortunately mana's bad match up is zerg, and he has a decent match up for terrans. he's still the underdog but not by much

Mana does play protoss... Above average foreign toss is capable of beating best terrans in the world in the current metagame. I'd say Mana has a 40% chance of breaking out.

Taeja > Mana (sorry but mana shouldnt win this given taejas form)
MMA > MVP (MMA has ages to prepare that seems to be the main factor that decides his performance)
Taeja > MMA (Close as fuck game, MMA will prep this and taeja is on incredible form, 2-1 either way)
MVP> Mana (better player should win)
MVP > MMA (MMA not prepared for 2nd go, MVP is better at the crunch games)

On one hand, mana only needs to practice one match up, which is already his best, on the other hand, he's against the best three terrans in the world. Taeja MVP.
