Although I'm rooting for July to win. Sooo. MVP 3-0 HuK July 3-2 Ryung Haha, good call. I'm glad july won, all terran is boring. And for some reason, though I am a terran player, I always find myself rooting for zerg players. | ||

Jinro did that in the past(2 ro4), now he cannot even make it past ro32 in code A and cannot even make it past open bracket in MLG. Don't get me wrong, Jinro is still a good player, really nice guy and i enjoy watching his stream(big fan). When people say Huk is the best foreigner in GSL, they mean currently, not 6 months ago, not 1 year in the future. | ||

That's just retarded. i'm addressing the "omfg 1/1/1" shit that everyone and their mothers keeps spouting the instant they see a factory. and i'm not specifically talking about protoss, although most of the whining comes from them, there are several zerg and terrans that say "lost respect for mvp due to 1/1/1" and all that nonsense oh no, he built structures that are required to tech, he's doing 1/1/1 allin ^ that's what i'm addressing he didn't use the 1/1/1 allin (THAT POLT SHOWCASED FIRST VS MC WAY BACK IN OPEN SEASONS, used to be known as the "polt timing attack") a single time i'm just trying to clarify on builds, less intelligent people keep jumping to "omg 1/1/1 allin" and that just irritates me | ||

Even disregarding the first 2 games, MVP manhandled HuK in game 3. Outplayed, outsmarted...Just plain wrecked. He didnt outsmart or outplay him in game 3. What he did do, is demolish Huk in the previous 2 games, with imbalanced* all ins, so that Huk had to play ultra safe in game 3. And since the threat of an additional all in game makes you play defensive and safe (so you can hardly put any pressure on your opponent), MVP abused that, by playing ultra greedy. *4gt doesnt beat it, nor do 3gt robo or 3gt stargate. And there is no other possibility for protoss to get even more units out. | ||

I'll be willing to bet paypal on matches with me against 1-1-1 stargate phoenix. Anyone who thinks it can't be held has downsyndrome. One gate robo holds it as well but you need to pull 4-10 probes depending on the scvs they pull. The only reason to lose to this build is you don't build early scouts and blindly expand. | ||

What he actually did was just Marine/Tank and in the second game Marine/Tank/Medivac. Also HuK's build in game 2 (Stargate which made 1 failed void ray, Robo which made I think nothing but observers, Twilight Council which I don't think did anything at all before the game ended) was hardly a strong one. | ||

But in the anti-terran biased point of view, it means "abusing the threat of another build" | ||

However, there is Julyzerg. The thing is he is so random and attack at such random times that you really count him out of anything like his games versus nada. I don't think Nada was ever able to do a siege tank push because he was always attacked in the center of the map. I remember the two games that he played that knocked MVP out. Game 1 was so memorible. He was attacked by terran and lost a lot of drones and units but wiped out MVP's army. Most zergs in this case goes into heavy drone production because terran can't push for a while. However July just went f it, make 30 lings and some mutas and crushed MVP. | ||

Game 1 wasn't 1/1/1, but Game 2 was definitely 1/1/1. Just because he canceled the banshee and made viking/medivac doesn't mean its not Barrack, Factory, Starport. People hating MVP for using 1/1/1 are just being arrogant. At least MVP admit that it's an imbalanced build, but he's playing SC2 for a living so he's gotta do whatever it takes to win. I wonder if people would still hate on MVP if he didn't admit 1/1/1 was OP and this was vs some random Protoss. | ||

I would say it was more of a Huk didnt deserve it last night. MVP played 1 game that I was impressed with in the 3rd game and the other two were just wins over someone having a bad day. The last one was a depressing show by Huk also. Im not making a comment on whether Huk would win on a good day but it would have been much closer. | ||

I didnt write, that it was a 111, did I? The simple thing is, >20 marines backed up by tanks destroy any composition that protoss have, and the push hits before colossi can be made. Ergo, imbalanced. | ||
