Squirtle better player, MVP better race, let's hope Blizzard actually nerfs terran now, +5 sec racks building time, lol.
Funny how to make people stop whining about 4gate they shove in a massive nerf, yet 1-1-1 and all the other shit terran can pull are just "part of the game".
Oh well just 2 more years to having a complete protoss race, let's hope people still play toss then or at all.

Over a year since a toss gsl win and even what is supposed to be a strong point for them is just negated by broken terran cheese and mules.
And ofcourse I'm talking about the highest levels, you being a bad diamond level terran says nothing.

You want them to nerf terran because literally 1 terran can beat toss? Like seriously you say at the highest levels but he's the only one, not even marineking can beat parting or squirtle. So by your logic, as soon as MVP loses, we have to nerf whoever beat him b/c "at the highest levels" terran can't beat x. I think 6 tosses in round of 8 should tell you enough about the balance at the highest levels. Bllizzard's job isn't to make each race win some championships, it's to make a game where the best player, regardless of race can win championships.

I don't see a problem with the cheese play at the end... protoss is really hard to stop at late game.. I also look at it as squirtle loosing it rather than MVP winning it... He managed to stop the first push... and he have a worker advantage by then. He over-extended and his army was split causing some of the stalkers to just die

It was good game. And why not? Mvp didn't do anything wrong. if someone did something wrong it was Squirtle, he knew it is proxy 2 rax and still he did stupid mistakes for example he ran to kill the 2 rax when there was like 95% chance mvp was still there with huge marine ball.

that all in would have been easily killed by squirtle but he made critical mistakes. You can't say terran is op if Squirtle was the one making mistakes.

I could say that protoss is imba when Squirtle used archon toilet. Nerf protoss make 80 sec build time to units. But it was Mvp making mistakes and Squirtle using them against him.

Overall series were really good. Sad that Squirtle lost after his amazing run in GSL beating players like oz,taeja and hero but he will be back. Mvp played very good he has shown that he is still one of the best terrans in the world and no one can deny that.

Well played by both players.

Mvp played very well in the 7th game. He microed like a boss, and not everybody could have manage this like him. And he had really big balls to do that kind of strategy on a last game of a BO7 serie... All of the protoss players QQ more please, because Mvp really deserves that win!

MvP is really the last hope for terrans. It's so hard to beat Protoss lategame and they're incredibly difficult to break early game… Without MvP this GSL would have been under total Protoss domination with four P finalists…

I also found Squirtle typical of how boring Protoss is gameplay-wise : Just sit down 20 minutes, do nothing but macro & defend, build a deathball… I mean, if this bo7 final was absolutely awesome, it's because of the entertaining & miraculous play of MvP. Squirtle didn't make any impressive move in this series, apart from a cool blink stalker micro. I mean, if you look at game 5 with BCs, he lost half of this army with his stupid recall on the island, and still manages to win thanks to the imba archon toilet, even after the nerf… I mean, when you let your opponent build 20 Battlecruisers 3/3 with 10 ghosts support, you should lose, plain & simply… Just as if you let a Protoss get 20 upgraded carriers. I'm glad MvP did an incredibly well micro'ed 2 rax on the last game.

Gg MvP.

So many Squirtle/Toss fans butt hurt over the last game, Mvp proved he can win macro games with Squirtle already. In that last game, after Mvp "failed" the 4 scv cheese, everyone called gg and thought he would've lost which he should have if Squirtle reacted correctly afterwards. Mvp just made better decisions and had better micro that game. It was an amazing last match, you know your hearts were beating crazy as well, don't lie to yourself just because Squirtle lost.

Just wanted to add, game 5 was only hyped so much because of the BCs and Archon toilet. I'm 100% sure if Mvp went bio and won, the game would've been a 1 star.
Mmm, what to watch.

Good gods I caused a lot of terran butthurt, obviously the point you're all missing, which terrans never consider due to the dangers of bursting bubbles is the vast array builds terran can do, which, with their supreme ability to deny scouting this means a toss needs to prepare for several different ones, combine that with needing perfect micro to hold and very little such stress on the terran and you got a broken matchup.

Combine that with with mules that allow you to macro when pulling ALL your freaking SCV's, who needs zealots right?

Also consider, what kind of player decides the last game based on a coinflip build? He simply must've realized Squirtle was the superior player and took a page from the big book of terran cheese.

Not to mention that MVP has carpal tunnel syndrome and his APM is lacking, kinda funny how much APM you need to play/cheese as high level terran to beat a far quicker toss.

Edit: almost forgot, nerfing history, when toss get's nerfed, a upgrade get's completely removed or delayed with 30 sec or so, completely killing a strategy, apart from early game PvZ do you ever see void ray harass anymore? (NOT a vray allin)
Or the removal of Kaydarin, only now do we see templar focussed play again, and only for the people confident enougj to take on the micro, as their stupidly slow speed and nonexistant HP without a cheap cloak or burrow makes them sitting ducks.
Most of the terran nerfs have been slight tweakings of build times or stats, hellions are still excessively powerful against workers, while the voidray will most likely remain exclusive to zerg earlygame and the occasional all in.

I was gonna argue with scoot but I think its pointless. Great games, this was one of the best finals ever. I'm a little sad for squirtle but this is his first run at code S so as long as he doesnt get too discouraged by the loss he will go far. Game 5 was epic, I'm still not sure if the BC's were the right choice but hey it made for an awesome entertaining game, the final game was so good even tho it was short I was on the edge of my seat and it really could have gone either way. For those who think 2xproxy was a bad way to end it, think about it this way we got to see 6 great standard games before that with half being long macro games. Grats to Mvp, considering the way the finals went he may not be undisputed goat but still 4 championships is nothin to scoff at. Better luck next time Squirtle.
P.S. So glad Mvp didnt win game 4.

No, you obviously missed the point they were all making.

You don't have a very good understanding of the game. The better player doesn't always win, there's a reason it was 3-3, and not 4-0. If squirtle played the last game properly, he would have won. Nestea is relatively slow, and is more successful than most people. Decision making is vastly more important than speed.

Now, I'm a toss and zerg player, so I'm not a butthurt terran defending Mvp, you're just not a very good analyst.

Clearly you miss the point I'm making, you don't have a good understanding of the game, you're not a very good analyst, and as someone who plays random I am unbiased.

Squirtle would have won if he knew exactly what MVP was doing, which due to the sheer amount of things terran can do is far more difficult to determine then with a zerg or toss. You will always see the 6 pool, and at least the gates become useless after the proxy failed.

'needing perfect micro' lol, you sir have never played Terran.

'how much APM' lol#2, not like it's plain notorious that T players have the highest average APM.

'removal of Kaydarin' LOL O L O L are you SERIOUSLY discussing that very nerf?


fucking amazing. MVP outplayed three StarTale tosses in a row during an all-out toss-favored season, it makes him an ASTONISHING born-winner, and the best sc2 player to date. stop discussing it by bitching about his genius cheese (cause yes, that was a genius cheese), it's disrespectful and stupid.

P.S: and LOWL please, you're not playing random.
