I think Squirtle has the most potential to win between the two, but MVP has all the experience. I have a feeling Squirtle's potential won't come to fruition.

Squirtle has been playing so freaking well lately, but I just can't get over the feeling that somehow MVP is destined to win...
I just hope that MVP doesn't get caught up in the whole "provide entertaining macro games against your opponent because it's good for the viewers" BS. Bitbybit, 1/1/1, 3rax SD, whatever, just win baby win...

Bwahaha that's what happens when you count your chickens before they hatch, Parting. Maybe if you had been more humble and treated MVP as more than just another terran...but oh well some people just have to learn the hard way.

Whooooooooo!

Just watched the vods, so great to see MvP coming through.

Not going to even comment on the PvP series as I hate that matchup and dont even care.

You should really give it a chance. Game 2 Hero vs Squirtle was the most exciting game of the entire Ro4. In fact, the entire series changed how I felt about PvP series. This coming from an MVP fan too.

Finals Prediction:

Game 1: 2 Base Marine/Marauder + SCV All in. MVP Win
Game 2: 1 Base Marine/Marauder + SCV All in. MVP Win
Game 3: Long macro game. Both sides look really strong. Squirtle wins.
Game 4: 1-1-1. MVP win.
Game 5: Doom Drop that Squirtle failed to scout. MVP Champion.

Live Report thread prediction:

"Woooo MVP way to show those skill-less Protosses the door. Bonjwa yaahoo"
"Protoss still OP, MVP just better player"
"So glad another Protoss didn't win!"
"You guys realize that if Squirtle won with 4 all ins, you'd be complaining, right?" (This guy will get insulted and shit on)

Seriously, stop bitching. Mvp identified the weaknesses in both Naniwa and Parting's builds and exploited the hell out of them. Don't blame Mvp for taking advantage, blame them for playing too greedy. Parting is unquestionably a PvT monster, but he needs to scale back on the greed in his openings and safely enter the late game where he has never failed to win. If he does that then he'll get his championship.

Also, maybe I've misunderstood something here, but I always understood cheese to be something that aims to kill the opponent by taking them by surprise, but if scouted in time should fail. Mvp did cheese Naniwa, but I wouldn't classify anything he did verse Parting a cheese.

Nice analysis :D This sounds quite likely to happen yeah. Especially, expecting from some terran fans a "So glad another Protoss didn't win!", while feigning total ignorance/innocence about the fact using such an expression could look somewhat inappropriate for protoss fans (well, actually for any objective spectator).

Thing is, only MVP can do that. I recon if MKP did what MVP in games 1 and 2, he (MKP) will fail and fall. GJ and hail to the rightful king of the Iron Throne!

Is it just me or do these select few people in the LR thread wear blinders? You know, those things horses wear so they don't get distracted from the task at hand.

There was a fair bit of whining in the LR thread that MVP was using cheese. Just like there is for any pro player when they use cheese. Perhaps there's just more fans chanting for MVP than most, but honestly Squirtle will get just as much flak for doing all-ins as MVP will.

Which is roughly 10% of the LR regardless. A 10% you are indeed a part of.

Blinders I tell you.

So hard to choose winner after reading the interview… I would feel happy either way, but its kinda hard not rooting for MVP.

Lol you are not better than those whiners. Whiners about LR thread whiners(which are only about 10% of the thread but you choose to only see the negatives) are worse.

I hope Squirtle will win, I like both players but here are the reasons i prefer Squirtle.

1) there have been quite some times since toss won GSL, last one was MC and it was what, a year ago?
2) for sake of some variety, GSL imho need fresh blood of winners. MvP allready won more then once, while Squirle never did it.

So according to the poll for game two of MVP vs Parting, it was either an amazing game or a horrible game..
