People who seriously think he looked the worst out of all ro32 players are kidding themselves. Seriously, just think about it for a second.

It seems to me like people just straight up dont like protoss around here, either they hit early and are cheesy/2 base players using a style that takes no skill; Or they play a macro game, but instead its just considered a no skill autoloss for the opponent automatically. What great choices as a protoss player x.x

I don't understand this 'that's sc2' argument being applied to this game. Yes if you fuck up and let your opponent doom drop your base, you'll lose. His obs position wasn't as good as it could be. For example, he could have had 2 obs around the unpathable areas of the base and pretty much be able to see every possible drop area + obs can't be sniped. His obs was out of position (the first one), and the second one got there too late.

Same thing happens in BW...people are just so good in that game now you don't see stupid mistakes like that. Flash almost had huge comeback vs Fantasy doomdropping his main, he was just behind already so it barely didn't work. MVP wasn't behind, his drop worked out enough to win.

Parting lost game one for a huge anti-timing moveout and messing up his forcefields.
Parting lost game two by forgetting how to respond to 1-1-1.
MVP lost game three by miscontrolling his army.
Parting lost game four by fucking up as I explained earlier.

The only reason MVP won game 1,2,4 and four were by Parting messing up (game four being the most excusable imo). But when MVP consistently plays people who don't make stupid errors, he'll have to evolve his play, as will Toss when they play Terrans who can consistently engage lategame well.

As people get better you won't see errors like this and so games will be longer, or at least I think and hope they will.

in the interview room, Mvp says he didn't actually prepare too much specific stuff for this series, he just winged it, such as

SCV timing in game one was because he scanned PartinG and saw his troop count was unusually low

1/1/1 in game two wasn't planned, but he had a feeling it would be a good follow-up to a g1 win

also he said he was fully confident in beating PartinG in a 200/200 game if it went there, and that he thought he should have beat parting in G3 if he didn't make the bad mistake of letting his troops get cut in half.

That's what happens when a race is fundamentally overpowered for more than a year or a year and a half, especially in the game's early life. It gives birth to a special breed of fan who got so used to seeing that race win (good or bad players, but helped by their race choice) that he believes Terran should normally win by divine right. Everything else is "imbalance" for them. Terran have SEVEN fucking championships, Zerg has FIVE, and protoss have... *drumroll* TWO!!! but no matter, this is the natural order, this is what should happen, and if anything (i.e Protoss strong lategame) gets in the way, then they behave like the spoiled little princess who can't have her fourth dress made for yesterday.

No matter they have the strongest early and midgame, strongest harrassment, strongest turtle, strongest scouting ability (hi scan), strongest drop play, etc... just no matter. It isn't enough for them, unless Terran wins everything.

I congratulate MVP for his victory and I'm glad to see a person overcoming his problems, but let's be serious, MVP can be as good as he wants to be, but which other race would let him get away with so many gimmicks, mind-fucks, and such? If he was Z or P with the same wrist problems, he would have probably fallen in Ro16, IMHO.

God, I'm so tired of these little Terran posting princesses.
