Honestly, while his TvT is pretty much the only TvT that I watch, and his TvZ is amazing, there are probably 15 Terrans out there who play more entertaining and better TvP's. Like who? Entertaining yes, but better? Tell me the names of those 15 terrans... because I honestly can't think of many good TvP players. Honestly... Bomber's macro TvP is failing these days. Jjakji's TvP is good, but not that different from MVP's from what I've seen (mix of contains and macro bio games). Polt's TvP has yet to be seen against the new protoss styles in official matches. Puma? Highly doubt that still. Seriously, there just aren't many stellar TvP players these days. | ||

 Mvp did win 3 games in a row vs MC at MLG then 2-0'd HerO immediately after, he's still good at it, just not as impressive to watch as in his other matchups as it doesn't really suit his style imo. His bio/ghost control probably isn't as nice on the eye as PuMa's, but his play is probably equally effective with his variety of 1-1-1's/2 base contains/macro styles. | ||

Maybe not a big a lead you're talking of, but MVP was ahead with greater and more cost efficient supply and a third base running up faster. And if MVP has a lead, there's no way you can out-macro the guy... Yes his third was slightly later, but he was slipping in macro which is why his lead was closed. I am not saying he wasn't able to get things together when the aggression settled down, but he made some very bad decisions at the end of his aggression that let that gap be closed. And I don't think it was a bad idea for Kas to attack there, I thought it was a bad attack, in other words on that map with that open low ground you have to expect that a Terran will try and siege up there and helicopter and MVP did. Kas needed to either put some pressure on the third to draw the army over, or simply use the fact that MVP was back at his base to siege up in a position to put on some sort of contain. Regardless MVP has made a lot of bad macro decisions in the games I have seen and he is by no means bulletproof. And again the point was that the game wasn't one sided, it should have been a build order loss for Kas yet he held on and that was incredibly impressive to watch. | ||

All of the players you just named have more solid TvP than MVP in my opinion. Sure, relative to their other matchups, the play from most Terrans these days against P just aren't that good, but that doesn't mean that one can't tell the difference between mediocre TvP and bad TvP. sC, Taeja, Gumiho, asd, Keen, and Alive also have just as good if not better TvP's. Perhaps 15 is pushing it, but I'd still say at least 10. Puma's TvP is doubtfully better? He openly states that his TvP is his best matchup. If you think MVP's TvP is better than Puma's, then I can't even imagine your opinion of Puma's TvT/vZ, because MVP's TvT and TvZ are around 10x better than his TvP. | ||

But what I'm trying to point out is that supplies lie because MVP's army was more cost-efficient and it was a mech army which just cost more per supply and is slower to get out so you can't just look at the supply. | ||

I would continue to argue with you, but the fact remains that the play from most terrans these days against P just aren't that good so there really isn't anyone that stands out whom we can use as an example decisively to argue either way without it descending into an yes/no argument. So I'll just agree to disagree until I see more TvP getting figured out or at least see more games (due to lack of games mainly). | ||

Not to mention being able to show off his TvP's on older maps, on most of which you can hit way stronger timings then on the GSL ones. TvP as a matchup is just very, very unstable compared to TvT and TvZ. There is not a single terran with a truly strong, solid TvP at the moment. MVP to take the tourney anyhow tho. | ||
