Too many drops and technical difficulties to be staged.

Sigh I've been wrestling with what race to play come the new season because I kind of feel like a change, but there's been so many great games in this GSTL that I'm even more conflicted over what I want to do! | ||

Gratz MMA and Slayers! Exactly. The defensive tools(mainly siege tanks) are the key: to attack you need to unsiege which, unless having a overwhelming number, usually lose to the sieged ones. Colossus is like a moving tank and does not require sieging for it to do splash damage, which makes it too powerful and somewhat boring. | ||

I predict MMA will eventually be one of the first bonjwa's of sc2. Don't you think you're overhyping a bit? The guy sniped out 2 champions but it was both tired champions of 3 previous games where MMA was able to choose the map he would play against. It's not like he beat MVP and MC on a straight up Bo3/Bo5. I was cheering for Slayers the whole time, but i do believe MMA still far worst than MVP and MC on skill level, i might be wrong! | ||

You believe MMA is on equal skill level as MC and MVP? I respect your opinion, especially because it's full speculation from both sides. =D | ||

But that's the point of being an Ace sniper. MMA was able to completely go into Game 7 with MC with all the pressure on him as MC simply destroyed his previous opponents, and pulled out a victory. MMA then goes into a game with July and does the same. And then Game 9 of the Finals, winner takes all against the best TvTer in the world in MVP and pulled it out. That takes a lot of balls. And he deserves all the praise he gets. | ||

Sure thing, people are overhyping because some of those matches were awesome and ace match was SPECTACULAR. And, MMA maybe is not on MVP/MC skill level but guy won such important matches. Combine his balls and nerves of steel, his current skill, pressure handling, etc etc and multiply with moment when he gets to skill level of MPV/MC... his prime time is yet to come! | ||

Im in awe he basically kept up constant pressure/poking/contain on mvps bases lined with siege tanks and never made an error, his movements and control and patience were just amazing. Sicko. Im impressed by that as well. I guess it's really easy, especially against MVP to fall for the "OK I'm ahead, better kill him fast" -push He played the last 10 minutes so safely, tried not to commit, keep MVP from mining and eventually starve him out. Great play | ||
