God, I would give my left hand to see a Protoss win something. T_T

At least the series was good, if it was another terribad GSL finals, I'd probably just stare into my ceiling angrily for a night, but I guess I can accept another Terran GSL win as long as the series was good. <3

Maybe next time, Squirtle.

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!



Agreed, you could almost feel the players' hearts beating when they were micro-ing, it was just so intense. And so dramatic also, on one hand you feel glad for MVP for winning his 4th championship but on the other one it was heartbreaking to see Squirtle lose on a tiny mistake after coming back from a 3 game deficit and repelling the first all-in only to lose like that, poor guy.

Great finals all in all.

Game 7 was my favourite game of the series! Probably the most intense I have ever seem and in my opinion the perfect ending for the best finals yet.

Congrats MVP!

In game 5 MvP took both islands... anyways... It is hilarious that all the squirtle toss fanboys are crying about a terran early game win in game 7..... they sure seem to think it was cool to jump on the bandwagon of telling terrans to win in the early game when blizzard officially said they dont think it is wrong for lategame toss to be considerably stronger than terrans. I guess crying fanboys will always try to find some way to delegitimize the opponents win... ala gstl finals... only this case obviously has no grounds whats so ever. Killer win MvP... on the worst map that a terran could ever draw in a modern pro competition you found a way to make it happen with pure will of spirit. Championship very well deserved.
Anything worth doing, is worth doing right.

I think how clever MVPs decision was in taking the base south of his main while building the third command centre to put at his natural on map 3 (antiga shipyard) is missed here - leading squirtle to not even think that a hidden third could have been taken. That is what really won the third map so easily for MVP.

Also game 7 was incredible!!!

Watched this at a barcraft. God everyone went insane during game 5. So much fun. Sickest finals I've seen in a while.

And I'm glad to see Mvp playing and winning in macro games, just to prove haters wrong. <3

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

Game 5 was one of, if no the best game I've ever seen.

I'm a litttle sad Squirtle lost the final game, he came so damn close. Still, it was an amazing finals.

Based on your post and sig, i would say you take "balance issues" quite to heart...

Anyways, congrats to MVP!!!

Game 5 is awesome not because of what crazy strat they pull, but because of the unbelievable comeback at the moment of the series. And game 6 gave hope to most of us that was cheering for underdog. I bet people rooting for MVP were happy too. Then game 7... Game 7 was suppose to be the most heart pumping game. But it wasn't. I don't even understand how some people on this forum can possible think that was epic or enjoyable.

I don't know if I can watch the vods, so sad to see squirtle come so close. After reading the writeup, even though MVP won, I still think squirtle is the better player right now.

I dont see MVP as the champion, just a coinflipper.

If squirtle warps in at home in game 1 he wins, in game 3 he was lucky enough to go past squitles army in the middle of the map. I can still see Squirtle shaking his head in the booth when this happened.

MVP relies on that kind of luck, he hasnt won all 2012 because honestly, he hasnt deserved it.

He lacks true still but his biggest strength is knowing how to win a game with a flip of the coin.

Winning a championship doesnt meant I have to respect the way he plays or the way he wins.

People wonder why Champions frequently go out in the round of 32 in back to back GSL's.

It's because they didnt deserve to win.

MVP is dead to me.
