I actually believe that this kind of match is alot worse than Nani's probe rush. A terran cheesing twice... lost all my respect for MVP. Come back next season Naniwa and claim that GSL crown!

Because of that mentality we have such bad games. This is turning out to be anything else but a true e-sport using that mentality.

Fanboys hating on Mvp because he cheesed.

He has CTS, he's one of the most macro-style players in the game, but if he were to play long macro games there's no way his wrists would survive it. Even after the Ro16 against Leenock he said that his wrists were completely numb after the matches.

Either way, I don't mind, Mvp is my favourite player even when cheesing Bo5s or losing because of wrist pains and low practice time.

Well, MvP played smart and won which is also part of being a "good". But Naniwa could have played better especially in the 4th game. For a series which was so anticipated it was really horrible though.

But damn Parting, holy mother mercy.

Lol, you guys blame MVP for cheesing. He played very smart series. You should blame Naniwa's micro or his bad decisions during match. On Entombed Valley he saw all in coming, but didn't manage to defend it properly. On Daybreak Naniwa killed scv, delayed 2nd rax so much, but one more time he lost.

No, it's not. This can be the start of rivalries, like BoxeR vs YellOw, Flash vs Bisu. It makes people more engaged in the game too, people are so upset at the moment after seeing Nani falling so short, but everyone knows that he can overcome, and this makes his resolve stronger and the fans' wishes to see him triumph even greater.

Call it what you want, but this is good for eSports.

Mvp cheesed because of his wrists he didn't want to play a long game it would have been nice to see naniwa advance but it didn't happen. He's gonna get crushed by Parting because he's already 2-0 against Oz.

probe rush has pretty much zero chance of working, while MVP's cheeses win games. When Naniwa scouted the proxy raxes and was still unable to stop them it was a stress test that he failed to pass. I have faith that if Naniwa can replay the game he can most likely stop the proxy raxes.

I lost all respect or interest for MVP, no freaking argument about that being clever or how bad the poor guy is injured and stuff, I simply hate watching those cheesy game, and I feel like MVP just feared naniwa and just proved that he could not take him in a regular game.

Naniwa will get payback next season ... but mvp is no longer someone I respect.

Lol at ppl whining over the fact that mvp does what give him biggest chanses of winning. Mvp is one of the players that use long game macro the most, when he first cheese its for a good reason. Plz remember that gsl is big money. BIG money. U do what u need to win. If cheese is the best way to win against naniwa, u go cheese. If longgame is the best way, u go longgame. They don practice all year around to be perfect gentlemen, they practice to win games!

Now stop whine and admit that mvp played just as he needed to.

Even if MVP didn't have those injuries he has still the right to try to win. There is no need to bash on him for beating a pretty unmannered guy albeit a foreigner.

Yeah lot of money, sc2 is becoming like football/soccer then ? Loads of money but shitty games played by greedy players ?

Plus I am not paying a season ticket to see players cheese that much in a bo5, mvp is just disrespectful of his audience and his opponent...

Yeah cheese happens, good work MVP. Saying that you lost all respect for Mvp?I don't think using cheese "proves" he was afraid of a player... Stuff like that has been going on in stracraft1 for years. Deal with it and wish Naniwa luck next season, don't bash Mvp.

...

Let me put it this way. If Naniwa was Terran, had bad wrists, couldn't practice much etc. and MVP was Protoss and the games were exactly the same, I guarantee you wouldn't be saying this. You would most likely be praising Naniwa for smart build choices considering the circumstances.

In addition, you're also making it sound like MVP has to prove something to everyone. Guess what: he doesn't. He's a multiple-time GSL champion as well as being the second highest money winner in SC2.

By the way, you're just presenting another opportunity for people to typify Naniwa's fanbase...

So.. u dont want players to play for win? Not allowed to attack before the 10 min mark? U really think they practice 7-8 ours pr day but wont adapt to win matches? The mark of a great player is that he manage to adapt to different enemys. MVP is GREAT at longgame, but when Naniwa has won so many games after the 15min mark, there is only common sense to counter it with something else. If u want gentleman, go play some chess, if u want some good competitive e-sport, watch gsl <3

May I say that I strongly disagree with that statement:

I would not be proud if nani won by cheesing 4 times in a row, maybe a little less intoxicated by rage than I am right now, but still I would not respect that win.
Cheesing all the games in a Bo5 is just saying : I have no chance against you so i'll just backstab you during your sleep. It wins war but it feels dirty and simply brings dishonor on the victory.

This, once again, is not the starcraft we want to see nor is it the one that I can respect.

And people talking about the money are freaking killing me, don't let the money bring all the things we hate about the other sport industries ...
