well I expected Supernova and Naniwa to get rolled, since they are plain overrated.
Squirtle is beasting up since IPL, and he was favored too.
Only surprise for me comes from PartinG doing that Boss PvP, but hey he probably deserves it much more than anyone else, afterall he killed M KAY PIII

I hope MVP rushes his way to the championship and cries Protoss so imba in every interview what else am I supposed to do. Then they will nerf Terran again.

I don't mind a pvp over a tvt.

As a spectator I'm tired of watching terrans MMM getting shredded, it would certainly be nice to see more mech play in the matchup.
I honestly don't think mech needs a buff. Removing strike cannons along with thor energy would be enough I think.

After the results we can say who's got the better pvp, for now it's impossible to say.
So, by your logic, only the present matters, and thus, there's no point in talking about anything. -_-;;

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. 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 know you're a massive liquid fanboy, but you're speaking completely out of your ass rofl.

I don't play Protoss, but I can tell you that TvT is not a "sissy matchup".
You don't understand how tense StarCraft can get until you've played some 40 minute TvTs.

Hmm, I personally enjoy PvP quite a bit more than ZvZ, just my preference as a Toss though I guess ^^

One thing is for sure.
Squirtle has better crisis management in base trade than Taeja.

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.
There was one game where Tasteless kind of obsessed about some subpar play from MVP in the Ro32 I think, and then since then people have seemingly been parroting that MVP is now "bad". Nevermind him being the #1 most successful player in all of GSL

I have it's not bad, but go and play 40mins ZvZ on TDA, THAT is tense.

Whats up with all the whining today? Is it because Naniwa lost?
I love how the 1st time T are not a majority on the RO4 means that something is broken lol.Wait and see for all we know its the maps that are making Ps win so much this season.

Not to mention that Talin conveniently ignored my mentioning of Squirtle's PvZ, which involves Squirtle doing stuff all over the map in ultra-lategame scenarios.
Maybe he should address that point instead of conveniently ignoring it.

For me PvP is only enjoyable to watch if you have good Toss pros like Grubby or Hasu casting it. Rotterdam casting PvPs is also great because he has great understanding of the MU and is good at it himself.

Anyone complaining about PVP finals needs to go watch Bisu vs Stork 2007 MSL finals, and realise that if you put two titans up against each other, NO MATTER THE MATCH UP the games can still be epic.
