Every game was essentially MVP doing some harass and then hitting his mech timing and either winning the game with the attack, or losing the game shortly after the attack was defended. There was never a situation where both players came out even after a major engagement. Isn't that the case for a lot of the games? It comes down to timings or that big engagement. | ||

The fact that the underdog won through great perseverance and mechanics made it an OK finals At the pinnacle of skill both of the players were playing at, the mistakes were nearly forced considering the circumstances. It was a great finals. I don't even see the onesidedness you speak of, remarkable things had to be done by the player with the a higher supply to even begin to look like they were winning. | ||

Also, SIEGE YOUR TANKS MVP wtfffff. If you don't siege the tanks to zone out the infestors, they can just walk in and fungal your vikings + throw swarm eggs all over your tanks. Not to mention MVP never built Thors to go with his siege tank army. Thors are awesome for holding of BL's and shooting clumped up corrupters. Lastly, why didn't MVP use AUTO-REPAIR ?! Send like 5 scv's with your maxed army, and set them to auto-repair so your units stay strong. MVP repeatedly let his tanks and hellions get into the red and then tried to take positions with them on the map. This is not smart play, and shows that MVP hasn't thought out his strategies thoroughly. I expected more from the 4-time champ who is renowned for his strategizing in 7-game series'. | ||

Mvp forced Life into BL/Infestor with his mech composition. What other composition do you suggest against mech? | ||

Also in the Mech style that MVP chose, mass tanks and a sprinkling of thors and vikings, there really isn't a case where you come out even from an engagement. You either push back the more mobile zerg army or you get trampled. For either side there wasn't the unit composition where you can commit and then decide that it isn't going in your favor and back out, lick your wounds and regroup, especially Mech against Ling / Infestor / BL, when those fights were over Life can just remax super fast, and he usually had corruptors left over that he could morph real quick, also he had burrow just about every game I recall so the infestors were able to get away and MVP didn't have the mobility to capitalize on the energyless infestors. And in every game that Life didn't go BL's MVP's sheer tank production took over and allowed him to push Life back and gg him.

MVP did a good job in the last game, I believe it was, with his viking spread, he had almost a full 180 degree spread shooting down the BL's. But as it's been said elsewhere he needed to change up his comp a bit more, less siege tanks and more thors. The hellions helped tremendously but he was never really prepared for an air army. | ||

As for Mvp, I'm sure he's feeling bitter about missing the chance to have that G5L trophy, but in due time I have no doubt he will get his hands on it. People have missed the chance to get a golden mouse and gotten it later, I believe eventually Mvp will get it. | ||
