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.


All MVP needed was a bunker. If you're going mech you badly need a bunker or you're just asking to die. He played too greedy, MMA capitalised. ^^

That is because he IS the better terran. Head to head series are a bad parameter for determining who is a better player. They just determine who is a better player against each other.

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.


Thats why MMA said in an interview he is going to buy MVP a nice dinner.

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.

yea MMA said he owes him anyways during the media event. He wouldnt be in the tournament if MVP hadnt taken a third of the entries

Well we will still have the GSTL classic of dongraegu vs MMA which is quite well known for being beyond awesome.

Honestly I don't think people should hate on MMA, he is an entertainer and is known for having the upperhand against MVP, he also plays for SlayerS so special tactics must occur in every series. Otherwise Boxer won't look you in the eyes...

Some of you here seem to have selective memories... MMA has beat MVP in countless macro games. I know a lot of you are butt-hurt you can't quite call your favourite player 'bonjwa'. MMA has huge potential, and today he showed (again) he is in contention for best Terran player. Deal with it.

I've never said MVP isn't the best. But MVP fans shouldn't be so butthurt that MMA is > MVP when they play each other. Kinda like Polt vs MMA.

Couldn't they just make a Polt image? He did get to the Ro6 and give good games.

Come on, GOM Photoshop Guy. I need a new wallpaper.

I never said MVP owns MMA, I said MVP is the better overall terran, which is undeniable.

Go back to rts basics. Cheese and allins have nothing to do with timing.




Cheese is something where the odds of a build's success depends very heavily on it either not being easily countered when scouted
e.g: CC first TvZ, cannon rush PvZ, +1 sling allin ZvZ




Allin is a strategy that has no logical followup
e.g: marine scv allin, 5gate warp prism, 6pool

Imo it was kind of silly of GOM to make a tournament where they declare best player of the year with this one. It was kind of obvious and not really even close as to who was the best player regardless of the result.

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.



You don't know what you are talking about if you think MMA's TvZ is much better than MVP's.
