I've said this multiple of times, but the IM coach is a total baller. I love his attitude and how confident he is.

Should be Squirtle, shouldn't it?

- Rawr

yes we know it he knows it (its been pointed out several times in this thread already). why don't you try and read 1 page before you post and compliment the guy on the overall fantastic translation instead?

While possibly redundant in the face of the approval and thanks stated already - I´d still like to thank you for taking the initiative and bringing us this! Keep it up!

Wow, I didn't realize that they expected MVP to lose to Squirtle; do they really think that highly of him, or was it a combination of race or map? Also, thanks for bringing cool posts like this to TL!

It's not about MVP or Squirtle. It's about TvP on big maps.

Squirtle has a great understanding of PvT. He all-killed a team and all 4 games were against terran opponents. As a protoss I agree thta TvP on big maps favors the protoss right now. There are some mechanical terran styles that were on the verge of popularity but, as Jinro pointed out a while back, isnt possible on alot of the blizzard ladder maps. If you just tune in to huk's stream you can see why korean terrans in particular struggle with protoss on larger maps. They all seem to go heavy into bio and attack non-stop from early game and never let up. This obviously won't be as effective on a big map.

I think we will continue to see protoss' beating terrans on big maps until this terran style is further explored. On the blizzard maps terrans have alot more really great openers, but these new ones certainly limit that. I would say overall its kind of healthy for terrans to have a matchup they struggle with or even find damned near impossible (see ZvT) as maybe... hopefully... we'll see less than like 50 bajillion terrans every GSL.

Eventually ForGG has to turn up somewhere though I don't know if "train" is the right word when talking about someone with his pedigree. If he takes SC2 seriously and joins a team he can get some solid practice with he should be as good or better than MVP in no time.

It seems that Squirtle is held in pretty high esteem by a lot of people in Korea. I remember in season 3 some people were saying he was the best protoss and such. I think he has a good chance of getting Code S next season.
