I laugh at all who doubt MVP. The king does not lose.

While I am hyped myself about the finals which will most likely be one of the best finals yet to come, I am kind of disapointed and sad that there is absolutely no coverage for Dreamhack Bucharest

Waxangel: Mvp 4 - 2 Life
"Technically, I'm not allowed to predict against Mvp in public."



I had THE lolz reading that. And of'course one never bets against MVP

Waxangel,
you are my most favorite writer on TL.

MVP is fine, Fion just cursed Life with the 4-1 prediction.

I was honestly never an Mvp fan until now.

Still, I think this is a match between geniuses. Mvp is the champion who cares just enough to win. Life is the upstart who doesn't care who he faces, believing his gifts to be enough to win in every situation.

Life seems to be the enigmatic genius, much like Flash was at the start of his career. No one knows what this kid has done to become this good. Mvp, on the other hand, started SC2 as one of the first A-teamers to switch. Since then, he's become the cold-blooded assassin, battle-hardened with years of experience of being at the absolute top levels of competition and winning.

Life may be a genius but Mvp is just something else. I agree with this assessment. If Life wants to win, he better bring strategies and maybe even mechanics that Mvp has never seen before.

Pretty hyped for this.

Life is damn good, it's really amazing. Often times it seems like he plays Zerg from 2 years ago which only works because the maps are huge and Terrans were trying to play aggressive against him (to counter the extreme macro metagame zergs have set in place). Taeja played really risky, doing things like moving out while take a third but Life was just at his doorstep every time with mutas and banelings to punish him. Aggressive style is defeated easily by passivity which MVP excels at. He will turtle and do light aggression and defeat him in the late game.

Life is no dummy though, he knows his style is getting figured out and that MVP is a good strategist. It would be silly for him not to switch it up and play purely macro, with extreme greed, as he can pull it off.

MVP is not a newbie to mind games, so he will acknowledge this role reversal.

One thing is certain: The finals will be extremely interesting and will most likely come down to mind games. DIS GON BE GOOD!!!
Try another route paperboy.

MVP was a player who I never thought I'd cheer for in 2011... MKP killer and all. Now he's someone I admire and look up to. MVP hwaiting!!
