I'm even more of an MVP fan now, and he has become my all time favorite Terrran player. No matter the situation, in spite of his injury and even with his most recent performances, MVP still manages to find the strength to play to the best of his ability and win games even when some of us didn't even give him a second chance.
Admirable, incredible.

I really liked the Squirtle interview and the personality behind it. So, I wish him all the best for the finals.
Grats to MVP for his great inner strength.

Finally, thanks to the teamliquid esports team for the very nice articles. YOU ARE GREAT!!!!

There are more games in Code-S then there were when Nestea went undefeated, the starting group stages were best of 1, they're now best of 3, hence he's gone on a larger streak then Nestea did in terms of games as long as he wins his first game against MVP.

He's played better opponents than Nestea did too.

My parents really want to see me on the finals stage, and I haven't been able to go to the finals much.

lolwut. I mean I get what he means but not getting into the first GSL finals of a year is hardly disappointing.

Squirtle comes across as such a nice guy in his interview, I mean MVP does too but that guys won like infinite+1 KRW (about $100000), I might have to root for him. When he talks about feeling like the dream his slipping away you have to wonder how many Korean progamers feel like that, it would be nice if someone new could live the dream.

Good to see that Naniwa and SaSe are both giving and taking from the ST house, maybe all Korean teams should start employing Swedish coaches, MMA uses ThorZaIN's builds and Squirtle was using SaSe's 2 gate opening vs HerO.

I've enjoyed Parting play, his style is brilliant too watch but I've always been an MVP fanboy since he knocked out IdrA in the second GSL, so I was rooting for him.

With the finals, Squirtle has been playing amazing, but again I want MVP to win this and show everyone that he's the best Terran in the world. Not some flavour of the month like MMA, MKP, Jjakji or SuperNova.

Winning a GSL with exploding wrists would be quite an accomplishment.

Great writeup! I was rooting for MVP, but now that I read about Squirtle and think back to how many amazing games and what a long way he's gone to get here I'm slowly starting to want him to win instead.

To me this feels like the most intense GSL finals in terms of story. Really looking forward to this!

Thanks for the awesome writeup. It was an interesting semi final but in the old GSL style... one sided. Also even in the Hero vs Squirtle series there have been situations where I thought "uhm Hero can do it!". I am cheering for MVP. Terran has to stay strong and aggressive in the early game

I don't know.. for some reason Squirtle doesn't impress me even tho' I probably should be acknowledging his skill by now..

Still.. I say MvP wins this one.

So excited for this finals. Squirtle's meticulous preparation and nerves will arm him well to deliver a great series about MVP. Hopefully we'll see it decided by more than just 2 base colossus or early timing attacks from either player - hoping for a strong mixture of early-mid-late game play which lets both players show it all off!.

(especially since if squirtle can work on that late game / macromanagement, damnnnnnn. He's been delivering this entire season. Shame for parting and Hero though, really letting the pressure get to them : ()

I'm so looking forward to this final. Both will be battling hard and should give us some amazing games. Over all i really hope squirtle wins. I really like his and partings style of protoss play.
