I guess gimmicks don't work vs. mvp... should just try to play solid and get to late game


I have a feeling that MC knows that he would get hammered playing a macro game against MVP, probably from experience on the ladder. Anyways IMMVP just has sick starsense and decisionmaking, not to mention godly macro.


I'm not sure about that. Also, the DT rush may have done some damage, but MVP scouted the pylon behind the grass, and immediately threw down a engineering bay and a turret. A DT rush is one of the only reasons you'd ever want a pylon back there.

it's just bo anticipation by mvp because of timing. if mc went for 4 gate then he would have done something sooner. since he didn't, and didnt expand either, mvp put down an early be. it could of course be an early be because mvp knows mc's style well and just went for safe play.

Seems like everyone of these threads just deteriorates into "Zerg sucks", "Toss only 4gates!", "MMM again?!"

Ahhh. Don't blame MC. He was under so much pressure, and to play against the current best player in the world? Yeah I agree, DTs and Archons were unnecessary, but he clearly tried his best. GG.

Damn it I missed the first 4 games, my alarm clock didn't ring :/ but I guess the new maps are not really any better.


They didn't play any new maps, the maps were Shakuras, Metal, Lost Temple, Scrap Station, and Xel Naga Caverns.

Disappointing really that they don't want to play on the new maps, but its understandable considering they haven't had too much time to practice on them.

Very nice by MVP, plays so safe with good scouting. Really is a fantastic player.
So im placing my bets on a SCV Life vs IM finals now.
And tbh i rekon IM will take it, unless we see something really impressive from FD, which definetly isnt impossible!!!

Well the DT rush was disappointing. MVP knows better than going down to something gimicky like that :&

in fact not really, he always open with something like that (DT, 4 gates, blink, VR) then expand when he did enough damage. He very rarely use a safe, standard build like 3gExpand, and it works very well for him so I guess it's ok =) But you're right, against MVP he shouldn't have tried an opening like that.

I think MC should have made DTs when he saw the MULE diss.


I was thinking this too. He probably wont have too many scans left. But not like it'd saved him.

IllusionToss for Seed? That's a fitting name.

MVP spotted the pylon close to his natural early in the game which gave him the clue that something like dt's would come.

The proxy pylon + double gas

I don't understand why oGs didn't use NaDa, and didn't consider using Jinro (since he was listed as one of their code S players I guess he should be allowed to play with them). Can't go easy on IM >_<
