Ganzi beat MVP due to the metagame shift. Ganzi used bfh and mech while mvp was still using marine tank, mvp was caught offguard and lost.
MVP caught onto the metagame and shifted accordignly, and thats why MVP beat ganzi at MLG.
Notwithstanding any metagame shifts again, MVP is always the superior player to ganzi.

You're leaving out the fact that MVP BARELY BARELY BARELY BY THE SKIN OF HIS TEETH beat Ganzi at MLG. I cannot stress how close the series was. It was one of the most entertaining series of the tournament in fact because especially the last game was insanely close. All SlayerS terrans have amazing TvT, MVP does NOT dominate Ganzi

MKP will still make it back to code s through the up and down matches imo, but thats a pretty sad slump to see him in right now

Poor MKP. He really can't catch a break at the minute. Hopefully he gets through his up and downs and we see him back in Code S.
Has seen the light. Protoss here I come.

Completely agree, Ganzi is top tier.

I second this. I just watched the series today, and I thought it was pretty spectacular. I don't understand why so many of the games weren't more highly recommended. It was a showcase in seriously great TvT strategy/play. Code A finals really doesn't fail to deliver. :D

Marineking's banshees and vikings were not controlled nearly as well as Ganzi's. He also needs more practice with BFHs.

GanZi already beat MVP in gsl before.

Look it up for yourself if you want.


The Point is, don't ever challenge MVP. It's like signing your death contract.


Except Ganzi has beaten MVP in a Bo3. And Bomber has beaten him in a Bo7


And genius...and Alicia... and even July


Mvp lost some games? NO WAY MAN. What revelations.

What an entertaining series! What magnificent games!

First I was "Ganzi got it." As he led 2:0, I knew it would be a 4:0 roflstomp. But Marineking came back.

2:1, okay it will be a 4:1 crush. Ganzi won another games so he needed just one additional win. But then Marineking won two games in a row. I thought about how he came back versus MC from 0:2 to 3:2.

I felt Marineking now should win this. The first two games, he adapted to Ganzis play style. Ganzi has extremely good preparation, but Marineking seems to have more experience.

The deciding Game on Metalopolis: Marineking plays safer than Ganzi, and then attacks the SlayerS Terran, who made a big blunder and lost his CC. Ganzi all-inned and methodically defeated Marineking. It was sooo close, all game long.

Thanks I was wondering what the run down was after listening to Inside the Game. MKP King of Silver....

Bomber is supposed to be the best TvTer in Korea though.

MVP is a top tier TvTer, but is mostly known for being the best against Zerg.

What are you talking about? o.O

(Keen vs. Bomber)

Personally I think Bomber is better at TvZ than he is at TvT.

Also Mvp DEFINITELY became known for TvT. Come on now, when did he win his 2 championships? During the height of GOMTvT. Who knocked him right out of his group (and therefore into Code A) immediately after that? July, with 2 straight TvZ games.

Yes he has Nestea's number, but they're on the same team.

Let's look at it this way. MarineKing is 6 years younger than Ganzi and is already this good. In 6 years, I can see him being good enough to take it.



Lets look at it this way, Ganzi has 6 years of emotional experience over marineking, and in 6 years, you think Ganzi just dropped dead ? You dont think Ganzi practise equal as much as MKP? You make it sound like at the age of 28-30, you just detoriate and cant play.

There is no telling if Ganzi will be much better then MKP in six years or not. Age has little to do with it.
