How can people say cheesy games don't show who the better player is? Why do you all buy into Idra's losing mentality that only long macro games count as real games?

Being able to defend rushes is a skill too, one that foreigners typically sorely lack since they have some mental block where they refuse to cheese each other and as a result never get practice against it.

Cheese is coin-flipping. Hard-counter some builds, auto-lose against others. It's legitimate in that it wins games, but it doesn't tell you who the better player is.

Not sure I'm getting the "brilliance" from parting that Tasteless seems to get... going aggro after seeing a nexus first and one clever trick with immortals backing down stalkers? Yeah it's impressive as hell to see the micro and decision making, but I get the sense that Oz is just being greedy/predictable...

he robo bays cancel 2 times, then zones stalkers as hes pushing, you seriously didnt see it?

GUARANTEED if Naniwa won his games with cheese, it would be "outclassing and outplaying" Mvp up to the max.

Seriously? if anyone gets crap for 2-base timings its Naniwa LOL. T_T

Davit vs Genius is the greatest series of ESPORTS ever.

And the interview was even better.

Yeah, those were memorable 5 minutes. Will never forget the look on Artosis' face when he did the interview.

Cheese main purpose is to remove predictability and forces your opponent to stay on his toes. It may win but its main purpose is to mind fuck your opponent

I'm a bit hesitant to say Parting has great PvP since both those games looked like build order hardcounters to me. The only thing of brilliance there was cancelling the Robotics Bay and maybe the micro against the cannon in the first game.

Well, justice will be served, MVP vs PartinG... roflstomp

Still kinda hope that Oz can come back to make a few epic PvP's.

Oh and I'm calling it right now, PartinG vs HerO in the finals.

I don't know why people like artosis and LR constantly counts out MVP. He's still the most accomplished sc2 player to date, and have been in code S for a very long time.

Even last season he was only 1 game away from making into round of 8. And a season before that in round of 4. And the one before that? finals

He probably been in round of 4 or higher far more than he has not

I feel like honestly the level of play has gone down 3 pegs this round. Hell the code A games yesterday looked better than these ones. Nani's nerve-rally of stalkers into tanks, MVP's BitByBit all-ins, Oz going Nexus first, 1 base colossi builds? GGandol save us!
