MVP is an astounding player, but Parting's PvT coupled with protoss' strength in the pvt metagame right now means Parting will mostly likely take this tonight.

But Code A are basically the qualifiers for the actual championship. I might be wrong, but can't you be a Royal Roader in the OSL if you fail in the prelims/qualifiers, but then qualify next season in the actual Ro16 (or Ro32)? I've always taken Code A as the same as the OSL prelims but longer.

Pretty sure Parting and Squirtle are the same person. Look at that banner on the front page and tell me you can tell them apart.

I can. Squirtle has a square chin and Parting has a long one. Squirtle/Bomber are the two that look alike to me.

Article says Hero is below 50% in PvP, but the picture says he's 62% against P. Who's right?

It's gonna be a PvP finals in the GSL for the first time. I really honestly hope with all my heart that MVP proves me wrong. But if it does turn into a PvP, I hope Hero wins it all.

Hero is below 50% in Korea. The pictures are the combined total of international + Korea. So that's why Parting's PvT is so much lower than his GSL/Korean record is.

Mvp,

No one predicted you to be here, but still you are. You are injured, and at the same time Protoss are having the time of their life at the top of the pro level. Still though I think you will win, not only this semi-finals, but also the finals to claim your well-deserved fourth victory. Cheese, timing attacks, macro games, I am convinced you got it all planned and will take Parting apart.

Good luck, and I trust in you!

But Code A are basically the qualifiers for the actual championship. I might be wrong, but can't you be a Royal Roader in the OSL if you fail in the prelims/qualifiers, but then qualify next season in the actual Ro16 (or Ro32)? I've always taken Code A as the same as the OSL prelims but longer.

except for the fact that Code A is/was based on Code S results and theres another qualifier for it (Code B). So I'd say Code A is (roughly) the equivalent of ODT. But you cant be considered a royal roader if you fail in ODT and win the next OSL right?

anyway, the definition of the term to me is "someone who is relatively new but goes on to take the scene with storm and win championship in his first try". Most BW royal roaders had those attributes, while players like Squirtle has been around since open seasons and havent proven much until today

A win from Hero here would be amazing not only because it would mark Liquid, and a foreign team's first trip to a GSL final, but also because he would end one of the best runs in Starcraft II history in the process. Squirtle's run is reminiscent of Nestea or Mvp in the mid 2011's, and defeating him would be akin to denying destiny.

it has been a good week for teamliquid denying destiny. ;-)


Haha... well played.

Anyway, Hero FIGHTING!
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

Parting got this. Yes Squirtle is actuallly good, but Parting is nothing less than brilliant.

i'm still predicting flash, just sayin'. ever since IPL it's like squirtle is just clearly a cut above and nerves were the only thing that held him back. i got the same feeling when i watch nestea/mvp/mc play during the gsl wins- they were clearly better and even if they dropped a game or two it was mostly on them losing rather than their opponent winning. i'd wager to say that if the old alive had shown up and lost that first bo5 squirtle would've won that outright. but this is gsl and he's a rookie going up against a rookie in pvp. i don't forsee either hero nor squirtle being overly greedy- blink stalker timings and maybe a hidden 4gate will determine that. i'm calling squirtle over hero and i can't for the life of me bet against mvp because it was hard to cheer against him when he was the king of it all; when he's the underdog it's impossible. and i play protoss fml.

Easily one of the most exciting final 4 in a long time! :D

I'm pumped to see another Protoss player take down GSL Code S!

Amazing article thank you very much!
Sadly I won't be at home during the games but it will be super awesome, espcially for me protoss player! I don't even know how to cheer for. I don't really want a PvP in the final but I just love Parting and can't decide who I prefer between Hero and Squirtle,
However if Parting wins, the winner of the second semi-final will habve ab advantage I think because he would already be prepared for high level PvP.
It's good to be back
