Therefore, there is no indication of how Squirtle will play PvT in the finals, since his usual two-base timings in that matchup clearly won't work against how MVP currently plays (powering on two bases himself). I think there will be some heavy meta-gaming going on, so I don't feel like there will be many all-ins due to that fact. | ||

Not really sure. I like Protoss and I have liked Squirtle, but I got really angry when he beat HerO. I didn't even know I liked HerO that much. Yeah. Gogo Mvp. | ||

This thread is showing the fact that some people still don't understand the definition of 'all-in' vs. 'cheese', and conflate the two. I think everyone understands the definition of 'all-in', but not cheese. Cheese is a playstyle that hinges upon the opponent not scouting properly or correctly. MVP was playing standard in 3 out of the 4 games, but decided to all-in in the first game, even though he was playing standard. In fact, I would argue that what Parting did in game 1, where he was going Colossi, then cut corners by dumping a large amount of resources in trying to tech-switch to HT's on two-bases, is cheesy by definition (but not all-in, since he was planning to take a third to support such an army). MVP scouted what he was doing, and made the right call. MVP was going for a third base in that game, and had he done so, he would have lost. Therefore, Parting was cheesy but not all-in, while MVP was all-in, but not cheesy. | ||

Or we can finally crown the " best Protoss in the world " without having to use foreign tournaments to argue who is best, which seems to change every two weeks with the number of foreign tournaments going on. Squirtle royal-roading to become the first Protoss GSL champion in over a year and stealing the presidency from MC is an even greater story perhaps. No matter what happens it should be an amazing finals. | ||
