If you want to say that you have to bring up that Zerg supply (in roaches, particularly) is not equatable to Protoss supply. In that case you should be comparing army value, in which case 150P supply could quite easily be larger than 200Z of near pure roach. 150P vs 200Z with brood/infestor ain't looking good for P at all (nor should it). Oh well, gonna go watch game 2 some more since MC's midgame looked pretty slick. Up until that catastrophe at the end :| | ||

I guess they forget MC was god of bullshit 4/6 gate all ins during his time at the top. Funny. no one cares that puma did it, people care that it is so strong and is used almost every game on certain maps and its so shitty to watch. | ||

An all-in that pulled half his SCVs and failed yet still managed to kill his opponent is pretty ridiculous. MC did mis-micro his warp-prism in game 2, but why did he need to use such a risky tactic in the first place? EMP is like an instant storm and AOE feedback at the same time with longer range. MC landed multiple storms but his army was neutered by 1 EMP. I think the best chance for Protoss at the moment is HongUn style 2-base all-ins. | ||

How can people possibly think that when he's won NASL and this? He's one of the best terrans, obviously, but he didn't roll MC like the 3-0 suggests. | ||

Bomber is pretty set on bio timing pushes / straight up macro. MVP occasionally does the "2 base hard contains with rine-bunkers, tanks, banshees, raven". MVP v MC in the Code S group stage is a good VOD for people to check out MVP's two base timing. I am guessing/surmising that MVP and bomber both know how effective the 1-1-1 is and are just too honourable to abuse it. no one cares that puma did it, people care that it is so strong and is used almost every game on certain maps and its so shitty to watch. Then again, MMA who is top level, used it against Huk and failed miserably  , credit to Huk | ||

I think Bomber might have used the 1/1/1 against MC once, but it was on that map that Bomber always all-ins on because he hates it so much. | ||

Bomber's all-in also failed - I think part of it is because MVP/Bomber know they're pretty good they don't feel the need to use such a risky tactic (sure 1/1/1 is definitely over 50% vs Protoss, but if Bomber/MVP feel more comfortable with macro style why do an all-in?) - I don't think it has anything to do with honour. PuMa can also win without the 1/1/1 (he defeated MC in a BO7 NASL final) but I think he does practice the 1/1/1 more than Bomber/MVP and uses it in his arsenal. Personally I wish MVP/Bomber used the 1/1/1 once in awhile, although not as much as other Terrans. I think it'd make them more fearsome. | ||

Bomber's 1/1/1 against MC last season killed MC pretty hard, it didn't fail. "RT: @sc2immvp: There needs to be a rule where you get disqualified if you use 1/1/1" is the translation of MVP's tweet from a little while ago. | ||

LOL i remember one of the first few matches I watched of MVP was him doing it twice to Tester in Code S. It wasnt as refined back then but he brought ravens, scvs, marines, banshees (dont remember if he brought tanks too.) | ||
