Tonight will be amazing regardless of what occurs. I believe in Mvp.

Considering MVP loves to cheese Protoss, Rain must have been preparing for 1 base Terran builds for the past week, yet he still almost lost to Last's one-basing strategies. With all of MVP's experience, I think it's safe to say he can execute even better than Last.

Rain must be nervous.

But By.Sun has only been fully dedicated to SC2 for a month. His last BW game was in September 9th, and you can't argue that he wasn't practising BW because he won his last 5 BW games.

The massive hype is definitely well deserved, By.Sun is a beast and I hope he becomes a double RR.

Yes! "Who are these mere mortals who challenge the King? Mwahahahaha, it only means that Rain will be caught with his pants down!"

Taeja will 3-0 Life. He plays too consistent to a player like Life. Rain - Mvp 3-1.
Rain - Taeja final.

So that's it? They're just gonna play? Seems like there should at least be some kind of pregame ceremony or something for a match this awesome. Rain has been amazing but Mvp totally deserves his title as the best SC2 player ever. Mvp's defense is excellent and storm drops aren't going to work on him. On top of that Rain hasn't shown any ability to cheese so Mvp will be able to exploit that with greedy builds.

3-0 Mvp.

The two fastest growing players (Rain and Life) against two amazing solid Terrans. Dis gon be gud.

Yeah, I still think life will squeak out a win and now that I think about it I really hope he does for the sake of enjoyment. IMO if Taeja wins and MVP wins I don't love MVP's chances in drawn out tvt series and I don't want to put MVP down for TvT. Secondly I think that if Rain can beat MVP he will DEMOLISH Taeja.

Seriously does anyone who saw there last series think that Taeja can beat Rain? Rain has only gotten better and if he proves that he can beat MVP I would fear for a 4-0 sweep if he faced Taeja in the finals. Hopefully if this situation does take place Taeja has some personal time with Happy to learn his secrets

3-2 Mvp 3-1 Life

As much as I think Rain is probably the best player in the world compared to others... after seeing Rain almost lose to Last I can't imagine him beating a player who does everything the same as Last except 10 times as good. Mvp is the master of cheese and early aggression and I don't know if Rain can stand up to it. Also, unlike Last Mvp has the micro and end game skill to back it up, and I can definitely see him at least having a shot of taking games off Rain in a standard macro game.

I've always believed Taeja massively overrated and we'll see tonight if I'm correct or not. Just never been awe inspired by his play. He seems very rigid and with his refusal to build turrets against Rain I can't see him being able to adjust his play enough to take on Life's incredibly aggresive style. I think his Ling usage is just too good for a player like Taeja.
Bug Fixes Fixed an issue where, when facing a SlayerS terran, completing a hatchery would cause a medivac and 8 marines to randomly spawn nearby and attack it.

No one has ever ever risen so fast as Rain has. And his late game PvT is undenibly by far the best anyone has ever seen to date in SC2. His late game play is simply the best we've ever seen in these 2 years of SC2.

He is in no way over hyped.
