I was just wondering why the games have so many yes votes. DT's killing scv's and securing a huge lead isn't very exciting. All of the hair raising stuff in game 1 was done by MMA. I voted no simply to offset all the MMA haters. What has the guy ever done to deserve hate? Get fans? Beat MKP? That's MKP's problem, just as not having turrets was MMA's problem.

Because, MLG is just a competition of which Korean wins now. He only beat Losira and July (only in the sense of only 2 players), two Zergs, yes his TvZ is quite awesome. In the Super Tournament he got to the finals on all TvT. Bullshit. MVP of the past two GSTLs great. That's Team Leagues. Not Individual Leagues. They do not correlate.

He's overrated because blind people expected him just roll over this Protoss. But non fan boys would have actually predicted this win, just like b_unnies did.

Lets see.

Shall we start with MLG? First of all, if you watched his replays, you notice two important things.
1. He likes to do risky openings.
2. His mechanics are not so great.

He may not be aware of the first point, which is understandable since if you watched his old games before MLG, his openings are somewhat risky but his opponent never truly took advantage of that. I will emphasize on this point later.

His mechanics are weak. Don't believe me? Watch his games on MLG (use the replays) and just see how frequent he forgets supplies, sometimes forgetting to make scvs, and also mis-control his multi-prong attacks. I know it is hard to multitask that well and many people can't, but he supply blocks himself even when the opponents do not pressure him. If Bomber can not get supply blocked, then I expect MMA to not to especially after all the praise he gets.

So we have a player who does risky things where sometimes it pays off. Now lets get to the super tournament.

It is true that he got into the grand finals, but he was unbelievably shaky in the games he played. There are many games where if you watched the games, you would not think it is MMA playing (if you rate him that high). Also, the super tournament exposed his weaknesses. Polt analyzed and abused MMA's style and roflstomped him.

And now, lets go with drop play.

There are a lot of games where MMA's drops could be easily intercepted and killed. There are also many times where the drops do not do enough damage. Most of the time, it is not because of MMA that this is happening, but rather it depends on how his opponent respond. His drop style, though tasks the multitasking abilities of his opponent, rely on his opponent to make mistakes. Again, this goes back to his risky playstyle.

And now we see that his adaptability is horrible and he seems to have trouble playing outside his usual style. He lost to DTs twice. I know the second game was understandable because he thought it was a 6 gate but still, if he is good as everyone says he is, then dts should not kill him.


Get over it. MMA is overrated. It does not mean that he won't become powerful later on but it's sickening on how high people rate MMA.

If Bomber and MMA could share their TvP and TvZ skill with each other then it's scary to think how good they would be in combination.
