Its crazy how when MVP loses to a timing attack that he prepared for perfectly, people just say "he played greedy", while whenever Toss loses to 111 or 3 rax or anything like that, its immediatly imba.


Because it's true lol

Just look at the MLG brackets, and tell me that Terran is OP.


Just look at the amount of Protoss tournament wins within the past 3 months and tell me that Protoss is OP



Just look at the number of terran nerfs and awful protoss play and tell me...


Protoss play hasn't been "awful". It's just that 200 food infestor/broodlord with roach reinforcement will beat anything other than an archon toilet, and 200 food viking ghost marauder medivac will beat anything Protoss has, period, providing that you don't suicide the ghosts/vikings before the fight.

Time out.

There are certain colossus/archon/templar/chargelot with a few stalker unit comps that Protoss can field that slap the shit out of MMM/viking/ghost provided the templars are utilized properly.


Of course, it all comes down to unit positioning/upgrades and how well Protoss can avoid EMPs. Well placed storms can decimate a Terran army. However from playing both Protoss and Terran at a high-masters/GM level I can say that it is significantly harder for the Protoss in that situation, so much so that generally it becomes a one sided battle.

Kinda silly imo... I don't see how terran can ever compete with gateway units that have been made even better with the ghost nerf and cheaper upgrades

I agree with some, that game was kinda short, I would have enjoyed a longer MVP vs MC games.

However, MC played better and deserved to win. Even in the second game when he lost, it was due to a bad engagement, otherwise, he looked like crushing MVP.

Either I am having difficulty to judge terran play, or MVP didn't show anything impressive in this series.

As for people complaining when Terrans do timing pushes, and cheering if Protoss do, I explain this by the fact that there are plenty of terrans, and almost no protoss at the top level. That's the reason.


But what impressive play can terran show? And what was so impressive about MC's play?

For starters, not dying against any GSL S-code terran he faces. It is especially impressive when he takes down the best terran in the world.

His strategies wee not something out of ordinary or very impressive. It's the fact that 99% of pro protosses know them and still die to every other Terran, seemingly.

PS I also find MC's unit control impressive. He can be sensational. It didn't necessarily apply in this series, however.

As for Terran, I find it impressive when they do a lot of multi-tasking like MMA does against zergs with his drops.

edit: MVP even knew it was coming and made bunkers and a full zealot wall and still couldn't hold..

Don't think ghosts or upgrade cost had anything to do with Mvp losing game 3

id be really curious for higher level players in here explaining to me what mvp did wrong that game....

He played greedy by going for a third CC. He had no Siege Tanks.

Siege tanks lol, who the fuck does macro oriented siege tank play in TvP? Goody?

Nani vs Major. Major built tanks stopped an allin and won. Think it was blizzcon.


They are good before the Protoss gets his higher tech i give you that . Once he Toss reaches that tanks become Marauders that cost 100 gas more and can't stim.


...Oh yeah... But all the (zero) tech MC had off of 6gates and a cyCore was pretty high tech and all works amazing against tanks... I wonder... what could terran do?

Admittedly they got quite lucky on the brackets (especially state). When players like

Ganzi
Puzzle
Oz
sC

don't make it through and a player like State does? or ddE even? Now that's some bracket luck. Props to them though!

Don't go 3 CCs before a 2nd rax and go double e-bay at the same time?

the answer is obviously building armor and bunker slots upgrades


!!..This is pure genius :DD

well what else could those upgrades possibly be for?


Just to counter the trend of toss going fast double forges..but Mvp shld have just went fast medivacs on that map. Good map for drops and soft counters 6 gates.

I think it's very ironic/funny that they show the Naniwa piece with all the fans screaming and chanting from previous MLG's and then it cuts to the Providence fans who just . . . sit there . . . with a glazed over look.
