That last game... reminds me of GSL open 2, MKP throwing a 2 rax at Nestea at 3-3. From that battle report: "Final game 7. No risk no reward." I think MVP was thinking something like that, deciding to 11/11...worked out a lot better this time though

Insane series. MVP really is the strongest player in the world. Results speak for themselfs.

Also im quite sure when Squirtle crushed MVPs "deathball" in game 5 he still had quite afew units over at the island, I remember the observer pointing it out right after the fight.

The last three games were some of the most intense games I've ever seen. What an incredible GSL Finals.

hehehe MVP!
My heart was beating like crazy in game 7. I was so nervous that MVP had lost it after the first failed all in. So happy that he beat squirtle and kept MC as the only toss champion.

Heres hoping for MC to win the next GSL!

Someone explain the picture for me please? Is that supposed to be Mvp in the bottom? and why does he have Nidoking? Also why is Squirtle a Wartortle?

I am very interested in that picture too...

PS. I don't know anything about pokemons too.

Kinda sad that MVP had to resort to a crappy cheese at a game 7 of possibly the 2nd or 3rd best GSL Final to win. Kinda screwed the whole experience/buildup for me. Squirtle could've had that last game... Oh well, grats to MVP on his cheese win.

Flashbacks from Naniwa - Thorzain 3-1 when Thorzain holded the attack, just like Squirtle destroyed MVP's army at 3-1

Absolutely sick. Congratulations MVP, well deserved!

Edit: Also, I feel not as bad about Nani losing to MVP anymore

It seemed like arguably the best GSL Code S finals yet. I highly recommend everyone who is a SCII fan to go watch them.

Yeah, I just rewatched game 5. After the final battle was over Legend highlighted that squirtle still had 7 HTs, one Stalker and one Archon lest on the island. That is 20 supply if I am not misstaken. And he still shat pretty hard on MVPs "Ultimate" comp.

Shame Squirtle botched game7 by being worried about the rax. :| Poor guy.

Game 5 may have been the most extraordinary but game 7 was where the tension was on, was literally screaming at that miraculous comeback.

What an amazing series. Great stories behind the players, a variety of play in the matches, and the most epic finish. I do think this was the best finals due to the story and tension, but I would still say that Jjakji vs Leenock showed the highest level, most consistent play without large mistakes from the players and produced games that were better by themselves.

I think it's just implying that Squirtle was trying to evolve into Wartortle, aka win the GSL finals, while he was going up against the "king" of Terran, Mvp, hence the Nidoking. That's my opinion of its meaning anyway.

If by "cheese win" you mean only the final game, then what you said is acceptable. If you mean the series overall, then what are you even saying. and still, how can you negate 6 great games because you didnt like the 7th? jeeeez enjoy what matters

Yeah, lol.

And besides, i think the 7th game was epic. The intensity was close to a zvz and the micro like a pvp, which is imo fitting for the final map of a final.

Set my alarm for 6:00 am (I live in Nova Scotia, Canada) and ended up sleeping through it until 7:30. I woke up and immediately ran upstairs. Game 6 had just finished and game 7 was about to begin. I couldn't believe MVP had to cheese T_T , but I understand he had wrist injuries...

Although I've been kicking myself all day for missing the first 6 games, at least I got to see the end. Kinda sad Squirtle couldn't win though.
