I didn't think Mvp went for any cheese at all for all 4 games


He didn't.


Game 2? 1/1/1 all in? The other games weren't cheese but how is 1/1/1'ing without an expansion not cheese?

Because its not an abuse of game mechanics, you're not proxying buildings, its just an aggressive 1 base allin timing push.



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.

No, it actually isn't. Terran's tech tree is not broken. Nor is warpgate or making a lot of roaches.

And yes, there aren't that many cheeses in this game. Terran can proxy rax, zerg doesn't even have cheese except arguably 6 pool, and toss can cannon rush/2 gate proxy. You act like your points are self-evident but they're not. Why so aggressive?

It's funny because even though MVP could potentially win this season he doesn't really seem like a champion at all unlike the previous seasons when he won.

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.

1. The man has serious wrist issues.
2. lategame tvp is disgusting atm.

And please, learn the defintion of cheese.

I laugh that he made it, shows how good he REALLY is. Hes at his all time worst and gets Finals in Code-S. How do you all doubt that he is the best player in the game. Clearly obvious if you take the time to think about it.

Indeed, imagine if his wrists suddenly got better, his performance in August/January/WC was incredible to watch.

I don't know if anyone was watching the game he lost, but it sure as hell wasn't because "templars" were out... He lost because 50% of his army ran left the other 50% ran right then protoss ran in at the exact moment that happened and killed each half systematically before they could regroup... 200/200 protoss army vs 2 seperated half maxed terran armies...

I hate all of these low league players who come in and say "well he lost because templars, imba" "no late games" bunch of bullshit... It was MVP who lost that game, not templars and imbalance winning because of the time of that game.

So MVP won the series with skill and well played build, lost one game BECAUSE OF HIS FAULT not templar tech.
FoTG fighting!

Is it me or does it look like Squirtle's hand is huge in that picture on the front page?

I was expecting these interviews to affirm my choice of Squirtle to root for but MVP is coo too!

its funny to read what ppl in this forum consider as "cheese"
so mvp vs parting game 1, he played a completely standard build and as he saw that his opponent played very greedy and had no units he just pulled everything he had and finished him off. And ppl here call it cheese^^

If you play too greedy and tell it your oppononent by showing you have just the half of an army, its 100% your own fault and it has nothin to do with cheesy play.

Cannon rush, 6 pool, dt rush, in base rax/gateways... those are cheeses, because they are mostly based on luck and how fast your opponent reacts. 1 Rax FE into mmm is definately NO cheese^^

I liked the picture of NaNiWa in the protoss blade in the end. He doesn't have a mouth.

No mouth, no F*** TERRAN (chess game, TSL, epic advertisement)
Super good manner NaNiWa.

I'm rooting for Squirtle. Clearly he has risen to the occaision (and hasn't got cocky like PArting did vs. MVP). It's time for the toss to prosper! (I am Terran btw.) Look forward to the finals :D
