I am so worried
PvP against Squirtle really seems to be hugely in Squirtles favor.
Hopefully HerO can come up with something
AdministratorLaws change depending on who's making them, but justice is justice

MVP is the Guardian of Terran in the era of Protoss empire and the true Emperor of Terran race.



Hwaiting MVP!

Congratz to HerO and Squirtle... we will probably have a PvP finals for the first time in the GSL...

and calm down flamers... we've already had four TvTs... Yes, four... the late game needs some working out, I think it' the Chargelot problem (with the addition of splash) that Terrans have no real answer to... but if you look at the state of things, there' also alot more Protoss players actually playing sensibly...

HerO vs SuperNova and TaeJa vs Squirtle was so damn one-sided it was disgusting to watch :<.

The only non 3-0 in the Ro8 was Mvp vs NaNiwa.

I was happy at first for all the protoss brethern making it in GSL but i don't want a PvP final that would be pretty bland
Plays against every MU with nexus first.

Thats pretty much TvP for you, the Terran wins through some sort of goofy cheese or the Protoss making a huge mistake, or the Protoss just steamrolls the Terran around the 20 min mark

particularly great write-up of a sadly quite disappointing RO8. I was looking forward to Taeja being the second Terran player in the semis :-\

I love seeing times change... from the start when we had no protoss, only terran and a few zergs in GSL, to now, with Protoss dominating, Zergs main hope bearers being unsucsessfull, and terran looking somehow figured out.

btw, i'm sad for Taeja, but i've been a fan of squirtle since his first appearances, so GO SQUIRTLE!...

dont know who to root for in the semi finals though :/

Protoss players have gotten very greedy and Terrans have let them do it. Calling the Terran punishment for being consistently greedy for "goofy cheese" is looking at it the wrong way in my opinion.

At the same time I do feel that Terrans late game need some more uumph and I hope Blizzard buffs the Battle Cruiser. (And a buff to the Carrier to make it viable as well would be fun)

Anyway, if any race should get a buff it's probably zerg which currently just don't look good.

Why isn't Squirtles on Artosis's hype train of new Best Protoss in the World?

Rooting so hard for HerO, but PvP, man. Squirtle's not going to lose a series with 5 or more games in PvP.

Two seasons of GSL 2012, two teamkill finals incoming.

If you count Code A back when they actually had finals, we already had Puzzle 4-2 over Tassadar last year, July season I think?

I really want a PvP finals! There has been plenty of T's in them. Time for something new
If the finals are Hero vs Parting, I don't know who I'd choose! I'm huge fans of both This might be even more tough than Genius vs DRG!

Also, it's kinda cool that there is a chance of a Startale only finals! 2 Code S finals in a row with two guys on the same team.

I could really see MVP making the finals here and as for squirtle/hero it could go either way, they're both really strong players and I haven't actually seen a lot of squirtle's PvP, he has a high win rate in korea so he's got to be good, but I have seen hero's PvP and its really solid as well. The MVP/partiing match will be pretty cool though, I think that MVP plays a pretty cheesy 1/2 base allinish kind of style against protoss and in the past we've seen parting lose badly to this style (spring arena 1), partings major strength in pvt is in standard macro games, if MVP tries to play straight up with him I think he will get crushed but if he throws some strong allin's at parting I think he stands a pretty good chance.

Went the way I expected it to go. HerO and Squirtle has really impressed me lately, especially the latter.

From here on it'll be a bit hard to predict what will happen, though. I think that we'll see a PvP finals this time around, with Squirtle and Parting duking it out. Mvp, however, is really unpredictable. I didn't think that he would go this far with his wrist problems. It'll be very interesting to see if he can do anything about Parting's solid play.

And with that, all my interest in the rest of GSL vanished Man I wish we still had GomTvT rather than this nonsense and it won't get any better in HoTS.

Hwaiting MVP!


dude, you know there can be only one true emperor of Terran and that will never change, don't you? just you wait for the legend to be reborn once again hehe <3
formalities aside, since there are three pretty strong Protosses up against MVP, this makes me feel a bit weird

hope, it doesn't come down to PvP I. the finals, worst mirror by far... TvT is actually the best IMO
