Squirtle's PvT is not that good as demonstrated in his loss to aLive at IPL Losing to aLive doesn't mean that you're somehow "not that good" at a match-up, especially one that aLive is super dominant at while you're playing on the other side of the world from where you are used to playing. At that event he also beat Bomber, MKP, MMA and aLive in a Bo3 (in the finals). Then this GSL he's beaten MMA, Maru, and Taeja (granted as far as MMA and Taeja are concerned, I think that is their weakest match-up, but at the level of play that those guys are at "weakest match-up" doesn't mean bad). That being said I think Mvp is still the favorite just because he has more experience and will be able to deal with pressure better, but at the same time in a match-up like TvP crazy stuff can happen. While skill becomes more and more of a factor the later you go, the early game of TvP can often come down to build order. Didn't you read the article by Demuslim and incontrol? Protoss becomes significantly easier to play the later the game goes.
While I do not disagree with the point that protoss is significantly easier to play lategame then terran thats not entirly the point. Its more likely that skill has played a role in a longer game even so since its been alot more situations where skill comes into play. Sure, given that both players does nothing until 200 and then one engagement decides it skill probably wont play as much a role as a short one but how likely is that.
I do feel the mu is broken in several ways but it does that a huge amount of skill to GET TO lategame against a player of MVPs caliber. probably more skill then 2raxing or something of the sort.

Hoping Squirtle wins, but I really think MVP has this. I hope I'm pleasently surprised.
|
If he wins and changes his name to Wartortle I will become a lifelong fan.
MVP is one of the best, but I think the bo7 series will push his injury past its breaking point.
|
I much prefer squirtle and really hope he wins, but quite frankly, I think MVP has it.

Flash will be the first one winning 4 titles of a same Starleague. Not MVP.

MVP fighting ! Yet another win would be such a great accomplishment ;O

i voted mvp because i am a fan <.<
but it could go either way really, because i doubt squirtle will aim at the lategame as parting always wanted, instead i believe both players will confront each other with early-midgame timings, could be one hell of a watch wenn offense and defense blurs into one all-out-war.

Cheering for MVP, but Squirtle is looking very strong in the MU.

Rooting for MVP. I want a Terran Boss. Please redfine the matchup MVP plox. <3
You'll get your wish as long as you consider "1-base and 2-base all-ins / pressures" redefining the matchup

Can't believe MVP is the favorite in this one ;0. On the other hand, I have been doubting him every step of the way and he's made it to the finals (although with somewhat ugly play).

What I like about this upcoming match is that BOTH players are capable of anything and unpredictable. MVP can do marine all in/1.1.1/or just play standard. Squirtle can go for one of his colossus timings, or just play standard. I think both of these players have shown they are very flexible to their builds and as a result the mind games between them is going to run at an all time high. Build orders are going to play a huge role in these matches.
