The Life-MKP games I thought were kind of fun: making MKP taste his own medicine and tilt completely. But now I guess Teaja now has pretty clear expectations on what Life will try and now starts the infinite hierarchy of high-order beliefs: if Teaja expects that kind of aggression to come at him should he play super solid? But then Life should go for a super early third hatch? Hope we does not end up with heavy meta-gaming and blind countering, that would make a sad semi. I hope anyway the game are less frustrating to watch than the Teaja-Leenock games. (That double roach warren in range of a unique scan, why leenock, why?) As for the finals Teaja-Rain is probably the final I hope for. An extended rematch after these two games in the Ro16. Rain-Life, somehow I feel I know the result of that game already, but h the kid has been showing some skills maybe that would give us the epic finals we are waiting for. Different match-up, but if Rain is the new MVP and Life is the new Leenock, well, I am watching that one. As for the two finals with MVP, well either match-up have a nice story behind them. Maybe MVP/Life could have this MVP/Leenock flavor to it. Several zergs, one mind. Does not matter who takes MVP out. | ||

Rain has been showing so neat play so far and MVP TvP, well, I am not sure if it is enough to beat Rain. Do not expect any crazy cheeses to work against Rain, do not expect MVP to get good late game engagement against Rain. So what, out multi-task Rain? After seeing the Ro16 (Rain-Teaja, Rain-Polt) that seems pretty hard, but would give us pretty fun games. Out macro him. Would be interesting to see. Sneaky mid-game timing (MVP has 4 days left to be really creative). Anyway Polt took a map, MVP can probably take a map as well. If it is the first one, then things might get interesting.

Maybe MVP/Life could have this MVP/Leenock flavor to it. Several zergs, one mind. Does not matter who takes MVP out. Replace Rain with Parting/Squirtle(well except the matches in the parentheses).One thing that MVP does good is winning it's rly hard to predict this one | ||

Sure he 'might' be 'almost' as good but until he goes to Korea and proves it he's not even in the top 10 Im in the same boat. If Stephano declines his 5 billionth Code S invitation in the next GSL which is the shortest in GSL history of only a mere 1 month with the quarterfinals & finals being in LA, then dont expect him to participate at all. | ||

SC2 mechanics are NOTHING for any korean progamer, mkp is very aggressive that doesn't mean he can't play a macro game.. You may mean decision making but mastering protoss mechanics isn't exactly impressive. | ||

Then he become the true SC 2 Bonjwa and retire happily until HOTS out. Except Taeja has absolutely crushed MVP every single time he has played him in GSL. So if they play in the final it would be no different | ||

MKP's mechanics are solid, but rain definitely has better nerves, which imo leads to better decision making. MKP is emotional, worst thing about getting emotional is you start making emotional decisions based on your feelings and not calculating. It's alright to be a fan here but your not really thinking this through to much. People all act different, who says Rain is not nerveus but hides it well ? Plenty of nerveus people can make great discisions, if that was true on what you say MKP could not even do a proper 2rax. Nerves alone don't make bad decision making. MKP might be as good as he is just becuase he is very emotional, if he lost his emotions he might get worse instead. Also i believe MVP has what it takes to take Rain down, more so then Life or Taeja has. IF Rain beats MVP he's got that title in the bag. | ||

Looks like we all agree that Rain is playing godly atm. Life vs Taeja Until yesterday I thougt life to be the favourite. But after Life in GSTL was outpalyed by Keen - not so sure anymore. Lets hope he learned smth from this Anyway hoping Rain vs Life. Just because they deserved it this season the most | ||

Rain wins GSL... royal roader, Kespa victory in GSL. TaeJa wins GSL... first foreign team victory in GSL, Liquid victory, best Terran in the world. Mvp wins GSL... a legend forever, a legacy unmatched in StarCraft 2. | ||

Granted I haven't seen a lot of Scarlett but doesn't that kinda make my point. Vortix is a phenomenal player but I don't see him doing much better than most foreigners if put in the GSL. | ||

A couple of the korean protoss and terrans say that he is just as good as the korean Zergs that they play against.... Alot of pros have recently said that they feel Zerg skill level outside of korea is very close to zerg skill level in korea.... Obviously this is all opinion based and yours is that Stephano isnt that good. Just look at his Team Liquid stats in the TLPD outside of korea he has the highest win rate of any player in professional matches obviously the guy is really good... | ||
