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!


LOL yep that's the power of the 11/11 for you. First all-in failed? Guess what, it wasn't an all-in due to MULES!
Lose all SCVs on second push? Doesn't matter because of more MULES!

I have been seeing the 11/11 against Protoss more and more often in the GSL, sometimes it wins even when it's scouted. IMO, not quite enough risk to balance the award of the 11/11, but oh well.

Unreal Finals, I came SO CLOSE to going to bed so many times, but in the end I'm glad I stayed up for it! Although I wish game seven ended in a different fashion (no, I'm not complaining about MVP winning, just wished the cheese was in a game other than the last), the finals were so good. I said it before, but that was a finals I will be telling friends "Yea, I stayed up all night and got to see it all live".

I would highly recommend you stop watching Koreans, and top level players in general, play Starcraft. They tend to "cheese" at least once in a bo7, sometimes even twice. I can recall quite a few finals that have been decided by cheese and all-ins on the last game. Cheese is a perfectly valid strategy, and if you weren't excited in game 7 I don't honestly know what is wrong with you, because that was an immensely exciting game. Seriously, get it of your head that cheese is wrong, it will make this game far more enjoyable for your viewing pleasure.

On topic, MVP showed why he is the best SC2 player thus far. 4 GSL titles and player with most amount of money won. Really hope he continues to defy his wrists and keep winning. When you watch him play it is really some of the most consistently best decision making you can have, and it is always fun to watch. Especially now that Terrans aren't 80% of the GSL!

Such a roller coaster of a series.
Even though we we're due up for a protoss champion, in my heart I always wanted MVP

I predicted 4-3, but i had no idea it would happen the way it did !

hopefully the terrans can stfu about protoss being op

if mvp had just attacked with all those cattlebruisers earlier before squirtle had mothership he could've won. all squirtle had were archons.

protoss has no good anti air. stalkers? suck. voidrays? die to vikings. archons? lol yamatowned. mothership? emp. carriers? rofl.

Feels like a pretty short write-up for such an important final, but thanks as always.

Did you really start a new account just so you could throw in one whiny, butt-hurt cheap shot, you little coward?

At the start of the last game I was like the girl from Matrix. 'Not like that!' MVP is a coward, not a champion. So as all the cheesers...

I really don't understand how anyone could be disapointed by the final game. It was so intense. The length of the game you could just feel both players giving it there all with the intense micro. MVP had to resort to what? Something his opponent couldn't overcome? Yes that's because there was thousands of dollars and a legacy on the line? You're saying it would be more exciting to see a 4th macro game? I beg to differ!

Nice write-up although you got the positions wrong in game 7, Squirtle was at top right, Mvp was at bottom left
There's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep trying till you run out of cake.

I just watched them, So sick, I could almost not believe it. Definitely best sc2 series I have seen in 2012, if not all time.

I second that. Just finished watching the VODS... holy cow!
The 3 final games were unbelievably tense.
The final game 7 was the perfect apotheosis.
