 Only one game got to the insanely boring colossus-stage of PvP, the rest were nice (relatively speaking of course, considering that it was, after all, a Protoss vs Protoss :r) "in your face" style wins... the way you should play SC: to win! If you think the best way is to play a "macro game" -> go for it! If you think the best way is to crush a greedy dude -> go for it! That being said: Now that we've had a Protoss mirror, can we please establish a rule that prohibits finals from being PvP? t_t | ||

You not playing Protoss is precisely why you enjoy mirror MUs, and the same reason that disqualifies you as anyone to talk about it. Why, at the top level of play, do you not see this matchup played in "so many ways?" Why do you think that is? Because it's not viable since nothing is safe. Any gold leaguer can muck around on the ladder with phoenix builds or DT expands, but they won't get you very far because they're not stable. You saying that this series didn't represent the matchup well is totally inaccurate; it summed up why PvP is the way it is: no Protoss defense can be consistently safe against Protoss offense. Hmmm, I play Protoss and enjoy watching, and playing, PvP. (Although, admittedly, it can get a little annoying.) I especially enjoy the early and mid-game. That said, I do find War of the Worlds Colossi battles boring as an end game. With regards to your last point, a shield battery tied to a Nexus may help. But that's just speculative theory crafting crap. | ||

He's going to have to do it again to actually be considered as one of the better players in the world. Because the finals are everything? To get there, he proved to be a beast in both PvT and PvZ. And now, in the finals, he almost completely owned (4-1 isn't something to be disregarded) the most accomplished (and maybe the best) protoss in the world to prove that his PvP isn't shit either. To me it looks like it was even more of an accomplishment because of this. | ||

Just basing it off the recap doesn't seem like either player proved that PvP was all about skill considering the trickery that Seed employed. Yeah the finals didn't live up to expectations, and yes Seed just played to win rather than to entertain the fans, which looked that MC was gonna do. | ||

I was hopping for a 4-3 tho, instead of a really 1-sided series | ||

I feel the anger should be directly at the MU balance, rather than the player for not playing longer games. | ||

Solid through Ro32 and Ro16, upsetting great players such as Curious, TaeJa, SymboL, Byun (both with amazing comebacks) and, of course, steamrolling MC. Great decision-making and overall smart as hell. Besides being the complete opposite of a choker. I really liked this guy since the groups selection. Probably the only protoss player I like, even though I don't find P matches enjoyable at all. P.S: To everyone saying he'll be sort of a 'ghost champion' like Polt and Jjakji... they still are pretty solid players, doing well in team leagues, GSL and other tournaments, being able to take games and matches from the top players. They may not be MVP-Nestea-MC-DRG-MMA tier, but they're the players below those and the 'flavor of the month' tier ones (PartinG, Squirtle, SymboL, etc). Polt isn't a ghost champion he wins a lot of other stuff, online tournaments and had done well at foreign tournaments this year, with jjaki he hasn't done anything since his championship. | ||

Who the fuck is this guy? Phenomenal run, and awesome job beating MC. Too bad for MC that PvP is arguably his worst matchup nowadays. He used to be unstoppable at it. | ||

He's going to have to do it again to actually be considered as one of the better players in the world. Just because the finals were bad doesn't mean he doesn't deserve to be the champion. Seed had some amazing games in the ro4 against Byun and the ro8 against Symbol. | ||
