I think people just think of BW TvT or Early tvt where it was Tank viking wars (extremely boring), plus thorzain vs kas was a lot more entertaining than this | ||

ThorZain for the millionth time is the underdog. * In general, the best part about PvPs in tournaments: one less Protoss remains in the tournament! Hell, if I designed tournaments, I would make all Protoss matches for the first rounds be PvPs to take out 50% of the boring to watch games. That or just make "no Protoss allowed" for the sake of the spectators lol Some of us like PvPs, although we appreciate your opinion as well. | ||

And of course there will be nationalism, can you honestly say that you were not rooting for Hasu because he's from Germany? I was rooting for Hasu because he looks like me hahahaha. Still, I knew nothing would hold Nani back after he won MLG. He's just too good right now. | ||

Without a gentlemans agreement to just not 4-gate PvP will always have the shortest "normal" games and lowest overall entertainment value. I mean a BO7 Semi-final was over in under 2 hours with two stream crashes, filler announcements, and advertising. Again, I have nothing against either player, they do the best they can with the tools they are given. They are sick heroes of SC2, they are way better than I ever will be, I just really have issues with the PvP matchup as a whole. | ||

On May 09 2011 04:54 MoonBear wrote: This is correct. Hasu showed some bad decision making these few games. Game 4 he did not scout for proxies and was punished with a proxy-gate into 4 gate. Every time he tried to wall off, he didn't wall off properly and let Naniwa into his base. Game 5 when it was a 4-gate battle, he chose to tech and not get sentries. This meant Naniwa straight up busted his way into Hasu's base before Hasu's tech could kick in. If anything, Naniwa exploited Hasu's bad decision making and response to 4-gates and repeatedly punished him for it. It's as simple as that. There's $15k on the line. Naniwa is not going to leave this up to chance. If you know someone always plays Paper, it's not cheese to go Scissors. It's just the correct decision. Thank you for this, MoonBear. And thank you for the great LRs. <3 Also... DAT KYUBEY. | ||

Most people think matchups with their own race is the most interesting to watch. | ||
