3-4 is too optimistic... probably 4-0 /4-1 Squirtle or 4-1 / 4-2 MVP
it is still a GSL final

Anyone know why the finals start so freaking late today?

Isnt this an hour earlier than the normal GSL start?



Yeah technically speaking it's an hour earlier, but with the finals there's always a pre-game show that usually includes kpop group performances, some hype videos, analysis, player intros (maybe pre-game interviews), commercials, charts, graphs, etc.

Usually takes them about 30 - 45 minutes to wrap up the pre-game show.


oh and my prediction: 4-2 Squirtle

I don't know why you're always talking about other players as being the 'better' players. This is just not true. Mvp is _way_ better than anyone else. Sole reason he has not continued to ruin esports by winning everything is his wrist injury. But even with this injury he manages to faceroll every self-proclaimed good player although he says he doesn't even practice much at all.

No, squirtle is not better. The only thing he has going for him is a wrist that's not killing him. I hope Mvp can recover after his 4th championship and heal up so he can dominate until flash might take the throne.

yes, biggest Mvp fanboy here, but you know I'm right.

I agree. Nonetheless, Squirtle is a really talented and deserving player, I would be really happy to see him take the championship home. I really hope the final lives up to our [high] expectations!

I still remember Squirtle at the IEM World Championship, with this incredible tiebreaker with Socke and Sjow! Ace might have won the tournament but Squirtle made a lasting impression on me!

So well written story, thx! I'm pumped now for the finals. Both should win, but let's hope it's a comebackstory and a nailbiting 4-3 for Squirtle. Protoss need some proud.

Very nice preview , thanks a lot :p

But imo MVP being there for the 4th time and beating Parting in the semis is in a much, much greater shape than Squirtle and should take this finals .

My predictions: 4-0, 4-1, 4-2, 4-3 Squirtle wins I dont care , all I do care is that we have a chance to see a great games and great play by both players

Fall down 9 times, Get up 10.

I think this run from MVP, while shaky, has been amazing. The fact he's fighting his wrist injury and still coming up with victories against the best. Sure, they're cheesy and all in, but why the hell do people care? It's a game and he's playing to win. It's the execution of the cheeses and all-ins that are what need to be looked at, and they're world class.

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.


lol at that whole paragraph, talk about personal opinion stated as fact. The statistics on the first picture would say the contrary.

Otherwise nice article, I think regardless of the outcome, Squirtle is the new toss president.

Yeah, that's the paragraph that I think weakened the article for me, even if it was just to bolster the underdog storyline. It's just not factually accurate.
