EPTI'm so glad Hero and Squirtle won. I was preparing for another round of GomTvT in the finals. As good as Parting PvT is and despite MVP's wrist and TvP generally being his worst matchup, I still wouldn't count MVP out. NEVER count MVP out.

EMP doesn't kill or put your units into red. You also can't spam EMP your opponents to death. | ||

Squirtle vs Taeja I figured would be close, but I didn't think Hero would 3-0 SuperNova. You know there are links to all the LR's from the OP, right? | ||

Why can't people realize that the only reason P is strong is because MC is not the only good Protoss now and that all these Terrans have only been fighting other Terrans and Zergs the past 6 seasons. It's really ironic how when Terrans were dominating since the start of SC2 it was because "best players play Terran" but in this one season Protoss does well it's automatically imbalance lol. All the Protoss who advanced are godly at PvTs.. even Naniwa. If MVP did not cheese him out Naniwa would've advanced and would be a RO4 protoss. Similar to the Super Tournament when it was all Terrans. You must have missed all the Terran nerfs. Bunkers had a small nerf. Barracks building time was nerfed. EMP was nerfed. Reapers were nerfed. Stimpack was nerfed. BFH were nerfed. Thors were nerfed. Only nerf I can think of for Protoss is their storm. They were buffed for immortals, forge upgrades, and archons (splash, or was that in the beta? I don't remember). Now you wonder why Terran was dominate in the start of SC2, as well as having maps favorable to T back in the day for the most part? And also, it is true there are more BW pros playing Terran than the other races, take it for what you will however. | ||

I did the same. It's strategy :D I thought MVP was gonna win, so I voted for him. And if he doesn't, I'm wouldn't be the slightest upset, cause then Naniwa would've gone through :D | ||

There's basically nothing to chose between any Code S Protoss's in PvP, they're all more than capable of beating each other. | ||

Really hope MVP wins :/ How so? Parting has the best PvT in the world and is not likely to fail anytime soon, he has been in code s since his first code s debut. Squirtle may be a one trick pony, but maybe all of the time he spends practicing finally allowed him to hit a hot streak, so long as he does not get lazy like DRG and previous champs he will be in code s for awhile. Hero has been very consistant over the past few months. If you are curious because you do not follow the scene as well as you would like to, you can always read through Liquipedia, there is information on every major tournament. | ||

EMP was way to powerful pre-nerf, it basicly made everything struck in its AoE useless. Give me a solid argument for why it should take away all sheilds and all energy. thats potentially like 200 instant damage against units with high sheild HP. compared to Storm that does 80 damage over time. You can dodge a storm and negate most of the damage. EMP is instant, wich means that once you where hit (and there was no way for slow units like templars to dodge it either) you were screwed. You do realize that EMP doesn't take away the full shield or full energy right? I don't understand what you're saying with this. The very most EMP can do is (approximately--obviously depends on the unit) half of the total health. A few storms can 100% kill an entire bio army without any other units | ||
