I wasn't very hyped for this game as I felt Naniwa with his crazy practice schedule was going to walk over the injured Mvp who can't practice anywhere near as much (or engage in macro games unless forced).

While I was right that Mvp would not attempt to play macro games and would be very aggressive, I was clearly wrong in thinking that Naniwa would be able to deal with it and defeat Mvp.

I don't see why people have to be so critical of Mvp for doing what he did. I dislike SCV pulls a lot due to how Terran is by far the strongest race at doing that kind of thing (especially with proxy buildings you can fly home any time). However, what he did is within the rules of the game, he's mindful of his injury and if Naniwa is looking to quick expand most games what should he do?

Series was alright, but it was never going to be epic since Mvp was never going to play long drawn out games.

So a Nexus first in PvP, that is interesting, right?

Perhaps, but not to this degree, IMO. Unless I've been missing out on some of the LRs when Bisu cheeses.

But at least the BW fans seem to respect their players, or at least mostly respect them.

Thats cause most of them know they can play macro games. Not many ppl are going to trash Flash for cheesing in PL or Bisu in PL finals. However, a lot of Bisu fans did hate on Flash when he first started playing and knocked out Bisu with one of the msot creative cheeses ive seen.

The Mvp interview in the press room just finished

he said he saw that NaNiwa played a very greedy style that often precluded the possibility of early game rushes, and he aimed to punish him for it

MVP, so damn smart, love that he looks for weaknesses like this. Nani not as prepared as he thought.

Apparently the "foreigners" want a 10 minute rush timer to be implemented into the game cause their "hero" from "foreign land" got smashed.

Is it much to ask for a 25+ game in a BO5 series? We were denied at least one macro game, I understand you play to win etc, but I had high hopes for this series as a whole, and I'm dissapointed right now. Not because Naniwa lost, but for the quality of the series.

i love how all the bronze players are posting in here. MVP legit won those matches by exploiting naniwas weakness. They were good games by both players. MVP has better decision making. So MVP > Naniwa atm.

Sweden why u rage so much?

If Naniwa cheesed like MVP did everyone would be over him too.

If Naniwa knew how to cheese, he might've won the series instead of losing.

Naniwa needs a boot camp in cheese and cheese-defense.

Don't generalize. Haters are just being haters, has nothing to do with their nationality. I, for one, am sad that naniwa lost/that people are being such tools in this thread.

To be fair a baffling amount of the haters have 'United States' next to their user names, though. :x
