We've had plenty of TvT's, one ZvZ (Nestea v Losira) and now we might get a PvP finals!

And none of the Ps he beat were HerO (since like a year ago). Hero's fundamentals are way better, as long as he doesn't get mindfucked by builds it won't even be close. Squirtle can't even land a freaking forcefield. -_-


dont fool yourself, Squirtle has best PvP right now, he owned MC, Oz etc...

Just another step to the throne.


And that matters now ? I mean do they play right now ? Nope so let's save these "Facts" for after the game, i like to see HerO get time to prepare aswell and then hit it off against Squirtle doing the same.
After the results we can say who's got the better pvp, for now it's impossible to say.

MVP will lose in a painful way and the finals will be a pure build order poker between squirtle and parting
at least mvp will be remembered in patch notes :x

I'm still laughing to myself about how some posters were saying Mvp is playing bad this season yet he's the last Terran alive.

Ro4 should be really good.

Terran 0-6 today


A good day it was

But I am astonished how Taeja let the last game slip out of his hands - baserace should have favored him quite a bit.


How would the basetrade favor taeja? Squirtle had the better army and has forcfields to block ramps.


He had OC, production and almost even worker count, while Squirtle had a better army but had to rebuild practically everything - you tell me?

Yeah, Taeja messed up pretty badly. If he'd just played it out somewhat normally and macro'd up he'd have been fine. Squirtle was the one who should have been on a clock, but Taeja was giving him defenders advantage.

I think he just didn't realise he was actually ahead until it was too late.


yeah, that medivac dropping one marine... he really wanted to know whether or not it was 2base or 1base;
I really dislike how he did neither scan, nor use supply drop, but was banking up 3 mules while half of his SCVs were idle and waiting for more money to build more depots

I love how when MKP or MVP win it's because they are beasts (which they are) but when Toss wins it's all thinly veiled balance whine. HerO and Squirtle are both in boss mode lately, it's got little to do with balance.


Dude... Hero and Squirtle are good, but look at the whole picture of this season of Code S :
- Ro32: 7/10 protoss make it through vs. 7/15 for terran
- Ro16: 5/7 protoss vs. 3/7 terran with a protoss taking first place in all groups
- Ro8: all protoss win except Naniwa who played against the most successful player in the history of sc2 and GSL.

That doesn't mean all these protoss players are unskilled or don't deserve, but it's being blind to affirm there is not a balance problem.

(And I don't even mention the misery that is zerg right now)


Then explain to me this:

Edit: Whoops, wrong stat. Let's try this again.

http://www.gomtv.net/records/index.gom?searchType=3&race=T&vsrace=P&season=2012&leaguetype=20&leagueid=27062&gamever=0&mapid=0


I'm (obviously) talking about the current state of the game. What happened with different patches and different metagames is entirely irrelevant to consider current balance. The recent Code S seasons, on the other end, are THE most relevant data.


Yeah, man. The updated stats are THIS season of the GSL.


The set score is pretty even, and it wouldn't be if it wasn't for the Code A matches (which I consider less relevant than code S)

Also, watch for season 1 : 60% set wins for Protoss vs T
http://www.gomtv.net/records/index.gom?searchType=3&race=P&vsrace=T&season=2012&leaguetype=20&leagueid=27060&gamever=1.4.3&mapid=0

So, please...


Why should Code A be less relevant than Code S, though? I mean, I agree that it's a bit less relevant, but it's still the GSL. I fail to see what the problem is if there are about 6-7 tip-top Protoss players looking extremely strong while a ton of weaker Tosses fall in Code A, which is, I might add, still a ridiculously high-level tournament.

Oh, and you might want to take a closer look at what you linked before you talk about stats. I'll let you figure out your mistake. Here's a big hint

http://www.gomtv.net/records/index.gom?searchType=3&race=P&vsrace=T&season=2012&leaguetype=20&leagueid=27060&gamever=1.4.2&mapid=0


Check out the maps on your own stats.
Top 3 for Terran are:
Calm before the storm 4-0
Crossfire 7-2
TDA 2-1

Top 3 for Protoss are
Daybreak 72.2%( 13 W / 5 L )
Metropolis 66.7%( 6 W / 3 L )
ESV_Cloud Kingdom 57.1%( 4 W / 3 L )

You can see all the Terran favored maps are phased out meaning those are legacy wins. They don't really win like that anymore.


Uhhh... you can talk about maps all you want, but the fact is that the winrates are still near 50-50 in PvT. -_-;;

Pretty sure Squirtle is favored over Hero.
Hero PvZ and PvT is sick but PvP is his weakest match-up.
Squirtle has the best PvP currently.
Play your best

Isn't it ironic. I remember a few months back everyone was sick of Terrans and TvT. Protoss dominates most Terran one season everyone gets pitch forks about balance and are now rooting for the Terran LOL.

Because objectively speaking, TvT is actually a decent matchup, we were only sick of it because we had too much of it. PvP on the other hand...

Stop this "PvP sucks" mentality thats been around since the Beta. The matchup has evolved alot and the days of 4gate vs 4gate are far gone.

PvP is actually one of the most skill-intensive matchups in the game. And definitely the most Micro intensive. The only part about PvP thats not so entertaining is the lategame (colossus vs colossus, best spread wins)

Squirtle is better than HerO lol


In which segment of the game is Squirtle better than HerO specifically?


PvP, obviously. I love Hero, but there's not really any case for him being better than Squirtle in PvP.


PvP is a matchup, not a segment of the game. -_-

What is Squirtle specifically better at, skill wise?


Timing attacks and better understanding of the match-up.


...and preparation time until the finals can easily make that aspect of the game more even when you know the opponent ahead of time.

When it comes to mechanics and multitasking, Squirtle can basically sit down, it's not even within the realm of possibility that he can match HerO in those. And that's not something you can learn in a week either.

I preferred watching sick micro 4 gate vs sick micro 4 gate over '"pzzzt pzzzt pzzzt" oh I guess you didn't have 2 robos like me' like it is now.

Its bearable mid game but the lategame is fucking terrible to watch.
