MVP playing very well but Annyeong also looking surprisingly strong despite be relatively unknown in comparison.

Grats to MVP, who looks poised to win WCG. I may follow Annyeong a bit more seeing how surprisingly decent he played in this last match. I expected a much more dominant win from MVP this series, but Annyeong looking rather good.

But against mass ling/bling, you could be clearing the creep while you're multi-dropping.

Man, MVP has been so consistent lately, making it deep in every tournament. GSL win, GSL runner up, Blizzcon win, MLG invitational win, MLG win, Ro4 WCG. All those tournaments in a row, and he's made it past first rounds of ace invitational and GSL november

Yeah, they play completely different styles.

MMA uses his multi-tasking to wither down the Zerg as they stop focusing on upgrades/creep spread/muta-usage if they're constantly cleaning up drops, pushes and whatnot.

MVP plays completely safe building up his siege tank count and either waits for the Zerg to be aggressive (which is unfavorable for Zergs) or they lose to his end-game composition.

MMA loses to those who are good enough to crush his drops or deal enough damage in return while MVP loses to any Zerg who understands how late-game works and sets themself up for it (upgrades, hive tech, broods, creep spread etc.)

3 != multiple to you? Gumiho only plays mech in a couple of games? You seriously want to trade gas > minerals 1:1? And Jaedong could kill a marine/tank ball with 40 marines without losing a single fucking mutalisk; have you seen what happens if there isn't medivac support in that situation? Forcing stims and running away isn't hard, nor is picking off any marines on the edges off the ball.

The advantage of marines over thors is that they can buy time (yay reinforcements), get upgrade advantages and have a ton of units that are generally stupid good against anything that isn't a baneling; thor's are very different. That has nothing to do with how good each is against mutas.

You're making my head hurt by going into every argument with the assumption that you're right. Read you're first post again before you try and call me stupid.

The interesting thing is that (if I remember right) he was the guy who denied Jinro Code A 2-1. Says something about Jinro's current form if he can almost win (apparently he threw a lead away in the final game against broodlords) against someone who shows games like Annyeong did (outside of his awful decision making lolo).

Given the amount of terrans playing at the highest level, I consider 3 to be a pretty bleak number.Oh yea! You are right, gas is actually more valuable than minerals in almost every situation, so 4 thors = 50 marines , also, our main issue was always direct engagements, i.e when the zerg player is forced to defend or vice-versa, with 50 marines no amount of muta micro is gonna help and since the zerg will have a decently sized mutaball there won't be that many banelings to help against marines coming from every side, thors aren't nearly as efficient as marines vs mutas, they are actually a horrible anti-air how can you even begin to argue against that?
