Would love to see a cannonrush on Daybreak, so bad designed for PvP.

I just tuned in, can someone recap Naniwa vs MVP series and the two last games of PvP? Only need brief information about the first series, curious though what BO PartinG and Oz went for in both games! :D

MVP did two marine scv allins (one 2 rax proxy one 3 rax with 2 semi proxy), two 2 base timing pushes with tank and mm. Naniwa held one of the 2 base timings, lost to the 3 other builds.

Parting is crushing Oz face, Oz went for some kind of forge and expand build in game 1 and just died, then 4 gate blink allin vs immortals and just died.

I agree... just wish the games were entertaining and both players played well


really? you thought naniwa played well? i think it was clear he had some serious nerve issues and probably got a little tilted by the marine-scv-all in och entombed valley

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

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


Because we have eyes, and this is not the MVP we were used to. Call it carpal tunnel, call it PvT era or w/e. Everything not a 3-0 or 3-1 for parting will be a big surprise for me.


Using your eyes is deceptive, especially there aren't that many games you can see per season. How do you count someone out who has constantly been able to get into the round of 4 or higher nearly every season?


Because he never had to use blind cheese almost 3 games in a row to do it before?


"blind" cheese against someone who is known for going constantly forge expand 4 times in a row against zerg despite losing to 6 pool 3 times in the same game set?

Naniwa is not known for being flexible with his build. why would you not exploit that

MVP is probably the best sc2 player out there that use specific build against players and play mind games

mvp wins game 1, brings a lot of scvs with 2-base timing
mvp wins game 2, brings all scvs with marines
naniwa wins game 3, blink obs
mvp wins game 3, brings scv's with proxy 2 rax

oz goes nexus first, parting wins with blink

proving my point, still bitter from Finland stomping Sweden last year? :D

I had actually forgotten about that. Guess playing against Finland in the world cup isn't such a big deal to me, since we almost always win. Actually, now that I think about it, I use to feel sorry for you and even rooted for you that time. You needed that win!

if you can stop a cheese, you either win or the game moves on to the macro phase - and stopping cheese is generally easier to learn than "learn how to play a solid macro game", therefore cheese almost always is a risky and desperate move taken by a lesser player.

on the other hand, if you are better at playing macro games, this is, as i mentioned very hard for the opponent in a easy way "counter" or practice against.

by perfecting a cheese you get a small weapon that works a few times, but by getting good macro you could argue that you are the better player.


So... Almost all protosses are suddenly better than every terran player now? I can't currently think of a protoss with a losing ratio post 25 minutes from these GSL stats bars. Oz is the lowest by far I've seen at 67% (which is probably 2/3).

It's equally important to not die in the first 12 minutes of the game than to go on macro cruise control >25mins in.

::Calling 3-0, suspicious play from oz

Well Naniwa is totally retarded for not changing it up then. But it's not like MVP is a genius and displaying superb skill by doing it that way.

Those two immortals zoned out was more of a BM move than a sick strategy lol... It wasn't needed at all. He could've just left them in his base for extra safety.


I think if the immortals were in the base then oz could have combined his army and took out parting's army in the middle of the map.

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


Well yes, that's part of the decision making but worthy of noting. xD

Not saying it isn't impressive! Just not feeling 'brilliant' is justified, more about Oz making some poor choices and PartinG capitalizing.

The gateway is behind the minerals so it will be finished before a scout arrives, so it is not as obvious that it's gas first. Would it be in the front it'd still be warping in when a standard 12 gateway scout arrives.
