Mvp is truly the king of mind-games. If he won't beat Squirtle with better play, he'll beat him with better mindgames. After all, this is Squirtle's first finals. It's his first time in GSL Code S. This is Mvp's fifth time in the finals. | ||

As for Squirtle changing his name....ever since pokemon I thought "squirtle" sounded like something you did after a rough night of too many tacos... | ||

I really wonder how they came up with that one, since I don't agree with it at all. I would think that most people probably wanted Parting to advance here. | ||

Oh I see, 1/1/1 isn't cheese anymore, that makes total sense, just like 4gate right? And at least 4gate actually got nerfed. I find it hard to believe people can still really root for MVP, like the guy hasn't had enough luck in this game. | ||

Yes, abusing terrans completely broken tech tree is totally not abusing game mechanics right? That's just reserved for things like warpgate or making a lot of roaches. By your definition the only cheese terran can do is proxy rax. | ||

So is is also weakend pretty bad that almost all toss now knows how to counter it | ||

So is is also weakend pretty bad that almost all toss now knows how to counter it If a toss can scout it early enough and be greedy enough for the push which time can vary from 8 to 11 minutes then yes, many toss can sort of counter it, if they can both get to the tanks, keep their observers alive and kill the banshee while constantly warping in then tosses can often hold it. All these prequisites though it make it still incredibly hard and statistically unlikely to hold, unlike the 4 gate which has been effectively declawed due to it's very short timing window. Not to mention that whether or not you believe it's strong is completely irrelevant to the subject if it is or isn't a cheese, I'm inclined to say that if you stay on one base for so long or pull the amount of scv's he does it's automatically a cheese. | ||

I mean you gotta do what you gotta do to win, but his run feels kind of cheap imo. You know how it feels, like when Rain reached the finals about a year ago only to get destroyed by MC because he got there by cheesing only and had no idea how to play a real TvP. Now MVP's cheeses are much more elaborate compared to Rain's of course, but they're cheeses nonetheless. | ||
