Anyone using these matches as evidence for whatever balance concerns they have are clueless. Mvp himself gave his reasonings for these strategies. He was confident that he could win late game as well, so long as he didn't botch the engagement such as in game 3. They were strategic builds, not desperation builds.

I fear the foreign disease has gotten ahold of all of you, thinking that anything other than NR20 macro game is because you lack skill or out of desperation. This is how koreans play, they mix up cheese, macro, aggression. Did you all really forget? Or is this just because more and more clueless foreigners are starting to watch GSL? (Thanks Naniwa, now we have L/R's as shitty as the rest)

The mu is balanced for progamers. But terrans suffer versus toss late game at equal low skill. Therefore toss are imbalanced at low skill level, therefore toss are so imba omfg nerf chargelots/colossi/templars/warpgate/what you want.

Lol Terrans never cease to amuse me.

The past month they've been crying Toss OP because all the best PvTers destroyed the Terrans. They then cried balance and it's "unfair" that Blizzard only gave Terran 6 months of dominance before balancing all races together.

Consequently, in that time of their dominance, any Protoss that would beat them (MC) would get labeled all innish, timing attacker, no skill etc. Yet when their "king" makes his way to the semi-final cheesing a Toss for 3 games, then cheesing again to make it to the finals, the "better player won".

Or wait, it's "perfectly countered greedy builds". Last time I checked when MC 2 base timing attacked MVP at MLG who went for 3 cc's and 2 engi bay before stim everyone hated on MC for "all inning".

I know double standard doesn't exist in this forum due to extreme bias, but at least be consistent lol. Everyone hates on a PvP finals, but do tell me MVP games vs Naniwa and Parting were better than a generic PvP?


Are you blind kid? If there is any player in SC2 who has proved himself in ANY type of game, it's mvp. And yes, he cheeses protoss currently. He wins. What other terrans, playing standard late games, are beating protoss? Obviously it's the only way to win the MU currently. But i guess you're the type of person to ignore a player's entire history because of two series. That's really swell of you


Calling me a kid doesn't make your arguments any credible. Good luck in TL.

MVP has only proven himself in TvT and TvZ. Much like any other top tier players who have 2 good matchups and 1 bad one.

My argument was that terrans always QQ when their player get 2 base busted by Toss but when MVP does it they hail him as "punishing greedy openings".

Game 1, SCV train, Game 2, 1-1-1, Game 3 he lost standard play, Game 4 was a risky doom drop that paid off. Against Naniwa, all all ins.

Just because this season Protoss won macro games off Terran doesn't justify cheese while degrading others. All of you are taking Blizzard's statement on TvP out of context. TvZ is the same, try not to harass a zerg for 15 min and see how it is late game. Terrans NEED to do damage or some form of harass to zerg early game, they all know that, but you don't see them bit by biting every game.

Look at the state of ZvP-that-is-not-MC. Max roach rush seems unstoppable but you don't see Toss cheesing their way out of it.

I agree MVP has to do what he has to do to win. What I don't agree is fanboys like you bashing other players for doing the same but hailing MVP for doing it.

But like I said, there are no double standards in TL, "kid".

Low skill level will never be balanced and some stuff will always require to "outplay" your opponent, simply because the game design is asymetric (and no RTS design has never been different. Don't fool yourself with BW arguements, there are certain times in the MU in which a race does a "standard push/build" in which the race simply will have certain advantages. The beauty of an RTS game is always, how to overcome them)

His tvt is 67%, tvz is 66%, his tvp is 64%. He hasn't proven his tvp?

You talking about ForGG/July/NaDa/BoxeR type Elephants?

Probably Flash, Bisu, Jaedong type elephants.

Yes people are overhyping them. No they won't be the greatest ever.

But comparing July to Jaedong is absurd.

Nah, cause numbers don't fit into his argument. Also he's only beat Parting, and Parting's PvT is abysmal if you look at it from power-overwhelming's point of view.

I hate using the word intangibles because I feel like it's a placeholder word but damn does MVP have some intangibles. His strategic planning of a series is so intricate and refined. GSL is the type of format where he really thrives.
