I hope Squirtle wins, need another Protoss GSL champ, and just new championship blood. Hope the BW pros build up their skill in SC2 soon as well!

Cheese is so overrated, foreigners call everything cheese if it's not standard. I'm not even a Mvp fan, but he did some brilliant timings.
Mmm, what to watch.

Mvp vs. Squirtle final, the battle of all-ins.


MVP all-in'd in only two of the four matches he played, while PvP's are inherently full of all-ins. 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.

Gogo Mvp?

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.

I do miss where MVP made a critical mistake in game 3 with half his units being killed by sloppy play. This is not saying MVP can't keep up macro as you suggesting though. He did make a huge mistake with that and i believe it should be writen down.

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.

I am definitely SO HAPPY for MVP. It is incredible how much of a champion he is, mentally speaking. He doesn't seem to fear what other people fear, really well prepared in each of his set and having the winner attitude. I'm very glad to see his control & brillance in play have been preserved for yet another season.

I'm happy no matter the result of the finals really. Mvp takes his fourth championship and proves himself to be the greatest sc2 player of all time, even if he loses he's been in five finals and proven he is still relevant in the scene after the doomsayers were saying he had dropped off for good. Also fighting as the last hope of the Terrans from the ro4 onward.

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.

i like how squirtle initially wants entertaining games, perhaps a mothership, but then rushes back to reality NOT in the finals, NOT against IMMVP.

i hope for a great series!
