I think a Genius MVP finals would be pretty good. Genius wins his first GSL and gives the bird to Blizzard for not inviting him back to defend his Blizzcon title.

Everytime i see July play like that i after have to go and watch the SC/BW July vs Best OSL final and laugh like a maniac...

It wasn't greed at all.. it's the only way to play in this map, he even got A LOT of cannons
A lot of badly positioned cannons. So what? Roaches positioning themselves on the Nexus has been happening since Idra did it to whats his face after / before the Clide game. I can make 50 spine crawlers to defend my base but if they're behind the mineral line they're not stopping people killing my hatch.

Hahahha come on. 0-3 at IEM. Can't beat Select...the guy that MC 3-0ed. Yes MC struggles vs terran and he's still probably the best PvT in the world that's the sad part about protoss.

Protoss greed is needed on certain maps where you can't punish economic zerg play. 3 gate expo is crap on large maps. zergs have the ability to ridiculously outmacro protoss and you speak of the necessity of "punishing" protoss when they dare to build an early expansion....TL as it's best today
By going forge first, you can cannon the expo to punish the hatch first and defend easier against the all in.
By going nexus first ... eh.

I really like to disagree here. Especially after HuK vs Select compared to MC vs Select.
And let's not forget about HuK vs Jimpo and HuK vs Tarson.

It is good to know, that Nestea is mortal after all (^_^). Maybe it was just variance XD.

Probably safer to say that he's struggling against 1/1/1.. like every other Protoss in SC2.

I agree on this, though I don't care for the results either way. Genius has looked pretty great vs Terrans lately and it would be awesome to see him making another good run. I think a finals between the two of them could be awesome, since MVP is unlikely to rely on the 1/1/1 crutch so many other Terrans have been.

Well, the players everyone wants to see in the finals are being knocked out while Terran overall continues to dominate.
Just another day at the GSL really. 8 out of 16 players advance. 2 out of 4 Protosses advanced (2 out of 3 against Terran). 1 out of 2 Zergs advanced (0 out of 1 against Terran). 5 out of 10 Terran players advanced. Point out the 'continued' domination please.
Well, one race taking up 62.5% of the Ro16 and Ro8 spots strikes me as dominating. Maybe that's just me though.

he was finalists against MC in the 3rd season... this guys...

Well, he could redirect the light with the golden mouse, to blind his opponents so they don't see the 6pool coming. That way he would definitely win a GSL. Unless he has to play MC and MC wears his sunglasses.

He plays pretty solid, he just knows how much he can get away with in ZvP. Que? Lol 6 pool isn't cheese now? Pass us the great stuff that you're smoking. It seems pretty viable in ZvP. Atleast in the last few top level matches I've seen protoss lose even while holding it off initially. In my book to be called cheese it should lose most times if it fails. Thats not happening with 6pool in ZvP currently.
It's really not that viable. If protoss responds properly by sacking the forward pylon/forge, and just makes a cannon in his main mineral line, he's way way ahead. He can then 4 gate or 3 gate expand and be ahead in econ. HongUn did the first part well, but just lost focus on his army control, and lost it twice to lings. It was very well executed (albeit risky) attacks by July, but HongUn definitely messed up. So to sum up, 6 pool gets you so far behind in econ, that if you don't inflict ungodly amounts of damage, you're pretty much dead.
