It appears many people are missing some true beauty, that is starcraft, in what just happened. It was without question the best series of starcraft 2 I've ever seen. People are focusing so much on 1 game with cheese, whining about mules, and missing the beauty that game had.

All of the history leading up to that game and mvp goes for cheese. But what most people missed is that SQUIRTLE DEFENDED IT SUCCESSFULLY AND WAS AHEAD!. MVP won that game because he executed a perfectly timed flank to catch the stalkers and zealot out of position, when they were trying to kill the barracks. Squirtle could have sat back getting sentries and been way ahead, and forced a macro game.

But MVP played amazingly well, and so did Squirtle. It was a nail biting end to some amazing esports. After 6 macro games, some of which were a sight to behold, the gsl finals came down to clutch micro and decision making. This is Starcraft.

great point thats why i loved last game! squirtle thought mvp gave up start to overextent himself. i loved mvp spirit of never gave up he always have a back up plan. btw squirtle micro was amazing too. it was awesome game, that cheese game is way better than watching colossi+storm or than bc turtle game

Signed

This series was so amazing! And what a final game - if i had to scrips a final it had to look like this. It was really a fight. I was sad to see squirtle lose in the end even as I was for MVP. Both put such an amazing and etertaining series that should be rewarded.

They went into super-late game, Mvp maxed on BC (was producing something like 6 at a time), and he decides to attack when...

In the future, check the sc2 forums section for the Live Report Thread it has all the important information such as the time it starts and maps.

This is just a written preview done by Fionn & Wax to hype us up for the games, not the main discussion thread.

Really nice article but this part about it really annoyed me... "his racial advantage" im assuming you mean racial advantage as in korean and i really think that is pretty disrespectful thing to say....its like you are saying he is born with an advantage over all other non-koreans which is obviously wrong, koreans aren't born naturally good at starcraft contrary to popular belief, they just practice harder and have had a lot of experience with starcraft brood war...just saying you shouldn't make statements like this it is kind of degrading

Is it appropriate that when i found out teh results of the match, I was listening to the song "I'm alive" when the lyrics "If you try to deny me, I'll never die" came on?
Well, C9 is the best right now

T.T

Depressing finals as a toss. 8 GSLs and counting. Also, loosing game 7 against a 2-rax... ouch. I feel bad for Squirtle. Still, well played by MVP, especially games 1-3.

Terran is the only race can do that kind of shit and rarly get punished for that. A joke.

Yeah because Protosses never cheese, right? You're a joke, and an idiot on top of that. MVP deserved the win, stay mad that players actually play to win and not to please people like you who drool over 1 hour long turtle fests.
Gratz to MVP.


I didn't say anything about cheesing. This kind of play went beyond the ordinary cheese in my opinion. When did you ever see a Protoss or Zerg player pull off 90% and later 100% of their workers and can be confident to go away with that? That's a basic issue in sc2 at the moment. That is way much worse than just any cannonrushing/6 pool/ proxy play - build. I honestly don't know how to solve that in the best way, but maybe reducing scv health to an equal level of the other races workers would force terrans to think over that strats.
Besides that I recommend you not random calling people "idiot" especially not in this forum^^ It also doesn't leave a good picture about your personality.

There's no doubt that if Squirtle and Mvp faced each other one-hundred times on the ladder, Squirtle would come out on top by a large margin. There's no doubt that Squirtle is a 'better' player. There's no doubt that Squirtle is riding in on a wave of momentum that we've only ever seen him from Mvp himself in his invincible past.


MVP pretty much took these words and shoved it back down the OP's throat. I imagine that the next time some fanboy thinks of writing a preview so blatantly biased against MVP he'll think twice.
