MVP blew game 2, and then played really risky in game 3. You think he would play safe, especially with the way MMA was denying map control aggressively. Better safe than sorry and bunkers are so cheap...I will never understand why Terran don't build them in moments where they have to play blind, especially with salvage.

Even though MVP deserved to win the whole thing based on all the tournaments he won, and MMA making it in the Blizz Cup thanks to MVP, even though all that, I AM SO HAPPY MMA WON!!!!!! SLAYERS FIGHTING!

Game ends after 15' = imbalance.

Also, another reason why MVP might have been reluctant to try his mech build(s) are that he knows he's weak to early marine pressure which MMA loves to do. He was behind 2-0 (due mainly to a mistake in the second game with army positioning) in the 3rd game and the previous game was a 3rax allin so he was probably like 'well he might not try a similar thing again so hopefully I can get to mid game with my mech build', unfortunately MMA was like 'I'm 2-0 up may as well go for a quick easy win and tie things up, if he goes for his mech build I know I can do a lot of damage'. Just my thoughts on the game anyway, I really enjoyed the mind games going on.

Can you guys believe that first in this tourney is 40Million won while second is 10Million won? That's 25k USD on the line!

It's interesting to note that both MMA and Polt were in this tournament BECAUSE of MVP winning so many tournaments that qualified him 3 times. They earned the slot by being ranked 4th and 5th in GSL.
If MVP didn't win so much, he probably would have gone up easier opponents this time.
Not a legitimate strategy, just an interesting thing to be aware of.

When you're hosting an event about the best player of 2011, you're kinda hoping for the objectively best player of 2011 to win it ;p.

That said, MMA just was better. MVP not playing near his usual standard and MMA's playstyle is unpredictable as hell.

Objectively? MMA TvZ is much better than MVP's. MMA just beat him in a TvT. And both their TvPs suck ass, unless you want to preach to me how MVP's 1-1-1 and 2-Base Marine Tank timings aren't cheese.
#1 MMA fan! I like you too Taeja. Still patiently waiting for the Crown Prince to become the King.

At least we get finals with the two players that have in the past provided some of the most entertaining games in the brief history of Starcraft 2

MMA just seemed to know exactly where MVP would be and when in the last two games. His timing was perfect and beautiful, and I'm an MVP fanboy.

Meh. TvT is more of a coin flip than most people think. There's just so much stuff that can be done which means there's so much stuff you need to counter.

That's... somewhat true, but game 2 was in favor of MVP in terms of build order. Game 3 was a bit unlucky, but MVP's build wasn't safe to a 1 base anything. Pretty disappointing though. No way MVP thought MMA was gonna do 1 base 2 games in a row.

lol @ the haters.

MMA is a beast and has proven it many times over. As he said he didn't expect to go 3-0 but MVP played like crap.

I think MVP will sleep over the loss in Blizzard Cup, which was marketed as being the competition that would proclaim the best player of 2011. Sleep over it on his bed made out of prize money.
