Ugh. I love that Tails have successfully defended 1-1-1, and went on to crush MVP. MVP is a two-faced j***. I remembered Tails first time when he executed 10-gate into two warpgate rush which crushed Banbanth's 4 gate. (God I couldn't stand Banbanth and his 4 gate) Does anyone else remember that game as well? I almost forgot about it and wanted to know that 2 warp gate rush build order. Buy it, this season has been full of VoDs worth watching again. I bought mine Day 1, and was not disappointed. | ||

At that point you have a 4v1. If Tails beats you 4 times in a row, you don't deserve to be in the league. Agreed. If they see drg just send out nestea, don't wait -_- | ||

I thought at worst, you throw Losira at him first, since Losira is also great at ZvZ and if that fails you give Nestea a game to watch DRG before taking him apart. I can understand sending MVP against him though, seeing as how he did 2-0 him in MLG and is coming off a GSL championship, and he did actually beat him today. But there was no excuse to sent YoungHwa out to die like that, they had to know that they had a plan for MVP/Nestea so forcing yourself to send them out back-to-back was just asking for it. Although, I can see the overconfidence in IM thinking MVP / Nestea can't possibly lose to the same guy. And Tails was a hair's breadth away from having his DT gambit slammed shut (one spore in the main or a ramp block after already seeing the DTs at the gold and its over). But still, why play around with taking DRG out? | ||

Look at who IM used and tell me if this is playing around. -Happy = really good terran -Losira = Top 3 zerg in the world -Yongwa= probably best protoss in the world -MVP= best terran in the world -Nestea = supposedly best zerg in the world yea it sure looks like IM was playing around!!!! lawl | ||

   + Show Spoiler + OMFG I was watching the stream last night and when DRG lost to MVP i was so tired i went to sleep figuring Tails would get stomped by MVP and/or Nestea.. boy was i wrong (And my liquid bet picked MVP to win too against Team IM) Winning If i voted for MVP and they were the under-dog does that mean i get more points in Liquidbet.. Sorry stupid question is there another version of liquid bet that works based on Chances etc... wasn't it like Fantasy Liquid bet or something? (Where you pick players) | ||

What ended up being unfortunate for them was throwing Yonghwa (great PvP sniper) against DRG, but that sounded reasonable at the time because IM was under the mentality of "kill DRG = win the match" (and DRG ZvP is his weaker mu). No shame in basing your strat to wear out DRG and steal his best maps, specially with Genius already out (so they had no apparent reason to save the PvP sniper). It`s not like it was expected for TAiLS to become such a huge monster. It came to a position where IM had their two final bosses alive, only needing a win, against a code B Protoss. Any coach would be extremely happy if he knew his strategy would lead to this stiuation before the last matches. | ||

Even without looking at results, I would rank Sage and JYP above Yonghwa. I'm reluctant to put HerO above him as well, but HerO is definitely more innovative. Even what we've seen recently from Oz has been very impressive + Show Spoiler + You also can't rank him higher than TAiLS, he played like a monster EDIT: I would also probably rank HuK above Yonghwa as well, even though both players are kind-of in the same spot as MC, where they haven't really evolved like the newer Protoss' have. | ||

Really there was no way he could have foreseen Tails coming out and wrecking both IM's aces. MVP has been a one man team for the whole season until now. | ||

I mean I was sure once DRG went down with MVP and Nestea still alive that there was no way IM could lose, I'm sure IM's coach thought he was in an extremely favorable position from that point and so did everyone else. Really there was no way he could have foreseen Tails coming out and wrecking both IM's aces. MVP has been a one man team for the whole season until now. I really don't think anyone actually expected TAiLS to win the match for them, not even the MVP players. That being said, I was incredibly impressed. I was watching the VoDs at work, as I'm actually allowed to do that :D, and I actually had to pause the VoD and walk away to get something done right as NesTea was dropping TAiLS for the first time. The whole hour and 19 minutes I was gone, I kept thinking in my head that TAiLS was just done for, and I came back, hit play, and my jaw proceeded to hit the floor as TAiLS rallied and beat NesTea for the win. Given a Million Dollar/Death poll at the moment that Doctor G fell to MVP, and they still had NesTea, I would have been very surprised if more than a handful of people wouldn't take that bet. | ||

The GSTL is so amazing, Tails was such an underdog but he was able to pull through for his team for the most unlikely of victories. The drinking NesTea ceremony/joy from Mvp's players, and the look of pure sadness from IM's bench, were powerful images of the greatness of this league!! Great night of Starcraft | ||

I think it's a bit different here though, but still, the comparison is there. I think it does show how strong TAiLS is in PvT, as he managed to hold the Marine/Tank/Banshee of MVP, and then follow it up with victory. Keep in mind MVP has said that he doesn't like that build, and would only use it if something huge was on the line. | ||
