Maybe I'll write an angry post on Reddit that will receive no responses! But seriously, you're just wrong. MKP knew about Life's aggressive style but he is not flexible enough to develop counters; the same applies to Taeja. Mvp did do it but he is an anomaly since he knows how to play every style optimally. | ||

Didn't like the finals that much and even though I wanted MVP to win, congrats to Life. Great accomplishment, balance aside. This is the first comment after the article. "balance aside" MvP can't loose, it's balance obviously ! Fan's are so funny ! | ||

MVP made it through and played great even whilst injured, maybe next time he'll get the 5th ^^ Overall, awesome season. | ||

Amazing to see how great players can make such small differences early turn into huge game-changing factors later on. | ||

on the other hand Life is a monster mechanically and a good tactical player, but he was schooled by MVP strategically at the end of the day, the better player won. Even if it was not a 100% MVP, you have to give credit to the kid, a handicaped MVP can beat anyone in a final ( hi squirtle). | ||

He chose a one-dimensional playstyle, and Life properly responded. Grats to ST_Life. In fact Mvp basically figured Life's style out. Even in 7th game he had pretty little advantage all game long before he made a mistake by suciding his units for Life's 4th base. Overall, it's pretty close series but Mvp just made more costly mistake that costed him the game. I respect both players. They are both great players. | ||

He was the better player strategically but he couldn't do what he wanted to do because he was limited by his hands (he never played bio in his bo7). his macro was off and he did some tactical mistakes, but i think his mind wasn't clear with all the pain. I'm really tired with all this " games were boring", "infestors are imba", etc. It really depressing, immature whining is killing sc2. on the other hand Life is a monster mechanically and a good tactical player, but he was schooled by MVP strategically at the end of the day, the better player won. Even if it was not a 100% MVP, you have to give credit to the kid, a handicaped MVP can beat anyone in a final ( hi squirtle). I think Mvp can go bio (he did vs Symbol) and people are reading too much into this injury thing. Yes, he is injured and cannot practice as much but Mvp still can play bio tank. Problem is that with bio tank you are hoping the Zerg makes a mistake or they can't deal with multi pronge harass. If your drop play doesn't do damage, there is also no timing to hit per BL. We just saw Life steamrolling through MKP, Taeja who are the 2 best bio users in the world. And considering Mvp won 3 games with mech, I think his choice was correct. | ||
