If MC can show he can play any style as well as MVP, you can start accusing people of double standards. It's completely wrong. MVP's TvP is gimmicky as hell. It's either a one base all in, or a greedy as fuck 3 base before gas. Guaranteed. If he plays normally he loses. Don't get me wrong, the guy is a god, but don't be like MC is all that is bad in the world while MVP is a saint. | ||

And guess what MVP didn't build , a Starport. My guess if MVP knows ( like alot of guys ) MC like to go Stargate if he feels 1-1-1 incoming so he goes something that crushes Phoenix. MC had like 8 Phoenix basically beeing useless. | ||

Sick of these Mass marine/tank rushes. He was all-in. He cut SCV production at like 21 around there and brought a handful for the push. If he lost that army, it was over no questions. he was actually still making scv's during almost that entire push, with just a few little blips. | ||

Seriously, MVP games are anything but boring. They are masterpiece, a glimpse of what the pinnacle of a player looks like. Cheese, macro games, strategic timings, he has it all! MC on the other hand, mostly all ins. I guess that's not boring for some people! | ||

MVP really clever or really lucky. 1/1/1 blind counters every protoss 1 base allin except colossus with range, that takes some micro, it's why it was so popular in the gsl for so long, and why toss now expo every chance they get, for MC to 1 base on a map known to be popular for 1/1/1 after he PICKED it is mind boggling, even though it was only a 1/1 lol | ||

Ohh that's right, I was thinking about Naniwa's vs MVP and MVP lost.. and if he lost to MC then it should already eliminate him.. but naniwa vs mvp wasn't part of this tournament | ||

I'd like Leenock to win because he's a young man and it would be touching to watch him get a huge win and have the crowd go crazy for him. I'd like Naniwa to win for the same reason I use to want Idra to win: He's great, and people love to hate him, so it's always fun to watch the reaction when he does well. | ||
