I feel like this is going to be the first truly epic GSL finals. Are MMA and MVP playing on Friday night or Saturday night?


Friday night, 9 PM to Midnight:

Why can't they both win, man?

Love them both. Maybe MMA will win GSL and MVP will win Blizzcon (and then Bomber will win Providence). That would be what happens in my ideal world.

... okay, in my ideal world, Sen would win Blizzcon, but let's be somewhat realistic here.

You must have received a blow to the head recently.

I like the dinosaur comparisons but MVP is a level above Nestea too. It's like in SSBB where Metaknight had his own tier, and for a while, Snake did too. Nestea has never looked like challenging MVP in any serious match.

The GSL Final, on paper, should be a pretty simple affair. TvT is MVP's best matchup, while MMA is decidedly average in comparison (58% winrate). Hopefully looking forward to two huge tournament victories from MVP to further cement his place as the world's best sc2 player. It's just gorgeous watching him play.


What...? MVP only being able to 3-2 Nestea in GSL didn't just happen? Not to mention Nestea was in a position where if he attacked it would have been impossible for MVP to hold and would have ended 3-1 in Nestea's favor.

MVP not playing at his best > NesTea playing at his best is what I took away from MVP 3-2 NesTea.

What evidence is there for either of those? The Belshir game certainly wasn't the best Nestea game I've ever seen.

I'm rooting for MMA. Always a fan of great players have the chance to show their potential. Though, MVP is a very hard opponent to beat so...

Oh really? Who is the best player then? I suppose Nestea is the closest, if not for his pathetic 3-11 record against mvp.
