TEAM LIQUID. COME ON.

You guys really need to learn not to bet against Mvp... it just DOESN'T WORK.

I am so freaking hyped for these finals.

No matter who wins the finals it will be pretty big.
If MVP takes his fifth GSL Title he is undoubtly the best player to touch SC2 so far. No one else came even close to winning 4.
If Life wins the Finals he will be the first to walk down the whole Royal Road. The hype around him will be huge.

My brain says that MVP will take the fifth Title, but my gut feeling says Life will be the winner. My gut was right in the simfinals so i think I'll go with 4-2 for Life.


I think undoubtedly MVP is the best player to touch SC2, but I get what you are saying. The 5th will cement him into SC2 history even further, He will be the original king of GOM studios.

Personally I'm gonna say MVP 4-0 over Life. Life is still really young, it's his first finals, and he knows he's going up against MVP. Those 3 factors alone are enough to make the poor kid shake in his booth, then throw in how confident he knows MVP is gonna be. I think it's a recipe for disaster and Life is gonna get trashed. I PRAY he proves me wrong though as I would love to see another 4-3 finals.

Weeeeh, just the results I was hoping for! Mvp taking out Rain to prevent a Kespa win in the first GSL they participated in. Life or Taeja was kindda meeeh, although Life is slightly more interesting in interviews.

It'd be pretty stupid of TL to demand him for MCSL and IPTL if he is injured, also I am quite certain someone would have said it if he was injured.

I just fear the MVP will go mass hellion every game and win... well maybe one game he will go hellion/banshee. Still, I will be cheering for life. 5 GSL will be too many for anyone to top. But I think 4 will leave a window for a new player to dominate in the future years.

I'm going to give Life the benefit of the doubt here.

I think the series will be closer than 4-0 or 4-1. I think Life has it in him to kill MVP twice in a best of 7, but I just don't think he has what it takes to beat the king.

MVP 4-2 Life.

Surprisingly Life is very well received among Korean audience, and has a lot of fans and hype despite his perceived "cockiness", because he used to post in the forums and interact with fans a lot, and many Korean netizens consider him "one of us".

I see that Mvp vs Rain was the story of the semis for most of the western audience, but among Koreans Taeja vs Life was just as hyped, if not more.

Word on the streets is that this finals would easily break previous attendance records, if not for one simple fact: the place they chose for the finals is woefully small, with a capacity of only 1000 people. Somewhat justified, since attendance in GSL S3 finals and Proleague finals were very underwelming, so they probably didn't want to risk wasting money, but at least 3000 people are expected to show up for this match of Korean fan favorites.

MVP will 4-2 Life in my opinion. I had predicted Taeja and MVP in the finals, but really didn't expect life to actually crush Taeja in his best match-up with that much momentum. However, I seriously can't count out MVP, he is the king after all and I doubt he's willing to pass the torch just yet.

Excited for this finals. I'm not sure who is going to win. MVP is MVP, but Life is tearing all terrans apart easily. Yeah he lost to keen once, but he had that game 90% before going full foreigner probably due to overconfidence at that point. I thought Taeja would put up more of a fight considering he got to watch life play so many tvz lately and it was known life would go ling/bane 100%. Yet taeja knew that and still couldn't stop it. MVP is going to know that too and I want to see what plans he's cooked up to stop it. Life is just looking so damn impressive that I don't know if he can be beat at this point.

In my opinion, Rain played a very disappointing series. Except for the first game, the whole series was of Rain getting greedy and Mvp punishing him for it. There were no close games, no back and forth - just Rain getting greedy with economy/tech and getting run over .

Life was impressive though, I love his style and I am glad it surprised Taeja so.
