Even if it wasn't he probably would, people seem to forget how bad MVP's wrists are atm.


Seriously I don't buy this excuse. "His wrists are bad blabla" I doubt it. He had surgery to fix it? If the surgery wasn't successful he would try another one or stop playing and resting. I'm sure he is fine and it's just a bad excuse.

Lol.. He doesn't need an excuse to play builds that win.

For the people that say Mvp is playing cheesy. That's what he has to do. Terran does not have an answer for Protoss late game, so they must win early to mid-game. Mvp is the smartest player in the world and he has been showing it.


I agree.

Protoss complain that we need to adapt to the current TvP meta-game.

Then MvP shows how to play TvP and Protoss whines again.


and toss dosn't have an answer for terran early midgame. so who has the advantage?


yeah they do.
they just don't when they're currently trying to take thier third before the 9 minute mark or going colossi with double upgrades and attempting to throw down a twilight. toss are greedy as shit right now to push for the lategame where they have a clear advantage. and they're getting punished for it. and itll swing again when they pull back a little bit.

what shoud toss do? waiting for emp ready + stim at minute 10 with pure gateway units? or trying to get and eco advantage to keep a chance alive?

So basically you're saying he suddenly lost the skill he had when he was dominating everyone, and is now using RSI as an excuse so people don't find out he's become a bad player? The levels people will go.


I thought doctors couldnt find what was wrong therefore no surgery and some old progamer asked him to check cervical disk, which he doesnt have time recently to do?
Also, if he had surgery people would know, he'd be out of the game for a couple months to recover

Also, god himself cheeses a lot in BW, doesnt make people stop calling him God

There's a reason for that, you know.

MC's play over the last 2 years has consistently been about trying to discover new timings and then exploit them until people adapt to be able to defend them, then rinse and repeat. He's literally the ForGG of Starcraft 2.

MVP's play IS reactive to the current metagame and actual Protoss timings, but it is not his trademark playstyle in any way, hence he doesn't have that kind of a reputation.

I get it that you try to make it all about the races, but the majority of TL ain't Terran. I myself am a Protoss player, and I've cringed at MC's play since he first started getting results. -_-


Massive oversimplification of MC's play. What about the IEM Grand Finals, where he won and played standard every single game? What about his PvZ at the moment, which is good enough to 3-0 DRG, in which he defends roaches then Mutas then BL/Infestor before winning? What about his most recent PvPs against Parting, in which he went up to Mothership/VR/Colossus?

Hey MVP is just playing to the strenghts of his race If Parting cannot hold this he is not meant to be the champion, period.

Well, judging from results, you are right. Protoss are not meant to be champions.

When did MVP become such a cheesy player?


at the very moment Blizzard decided he shall not play late game vP



He wants to win...

Blizzard themselves said Terran needs to kill P in Early/Mid game


I would love to see T late game buffed. BUT early/mid PvT should be rebalanced too.
I don't read any terran complaining about that...

The whole matchup needs to be rebalanced. Take away our early game advantages and make it more equal, buff Terran lategame to make it equal there.

That's what I want


So you want terran and protoss to be equal at all points in the game? Why don't we just get rid of two races so we don't have to ever again worry about balance.

So you want it to become impossible for races to kill each other in a certain part of the game?


Each race should have strengths and weaknesses at different points in the game that make it more difficult, but definitely not impossible, to secure a win at those points. Current statistics show it is not impossible to beat protoss late game however it is pretty damn hard to if terrans don't take advantage of their strengths throughout the early and midgame and punish protoss players who play extremely economically greedy.

"I'm sure he's fine." Are you stupid? MVP's wrists are not fine, and that is not a secret. You do understand that a surgery doesn't necessarily fix all problems. MVP obviously wants to play, despite having troubles with his wrists. There's no reason, no reason whatsoever to talk about a bad excuse.

He is far from fine. His wrists are completely fucked and he hasn't had any real treatment yet. He is waiting until after GSL so he can rest and let them heal properly.

Excuse? Get the fuck out

Also according to mvp it was a spinal problem that is preventing him from exerting force on his wrists (pretty sure). So yes, his wrists are FUCKED atm. apparently a brood war pro had the same problem and MVP was talking to him about it.

if MVP wins this series and then the finals, I foresee more nerfs inc from Blizzard on Terran. Maybe they'll actually change the bunker next patch.



if mvp wins another gsl over hero/squirtle, I'm going to be pretty dejected and will need to take a break from starcraft for a while. I don't hate mvp or anything but FFS NEED A PROTOSS HOPE PLS.
Our Protoss, Who art in Aiur HongUn be Thy name; Thy stalker come, Thy will be blunk, on ladder as it is in Micro Tourny. Give us this win in our daily ladder, and forgive us our cheeses, As we forgive those who play zerg against us.

I'm so sick of the fact that our audience appears to dislike a high tension all-in game over long single-a-move battle macro games.

I mean, a close macro game is the best, don't get me wrong. But it seems TL will give a good rating to a long game with 1 battle than a short game with a close battle. Are minerals being mined that exciting? =/


Exactly. I was holding my breath for both players on the push. I thought it was a rather exciting and good match.


I was practically shaking watching the interaction between banshee, bunker, etc with parting's stalkers and immortal control. It was quite tense

but we can see mvp just has better awareness and control. parting lost a few stalker and zealots to hold command without doing anything


Quite the opposite here, I was cringing at the ease with which MVP picked off units, forced parting into siege shots for practically no loss, and the 2 bad (forced) engagements, not killing the rocks at the top etc, just high pressure leading parting into making multiple mistakes that he can't afford to against the likes of MVP, even when he's chain cheesing probably due to his wrists.


that's the point. parting was not able to keep up with mvp's aggression cause he was not able to defend the moving tanks/marines while stopping the banshee's harassment. Just didn't have the apm

The interaction between protoss shield regen, marines, pheonix, and banshees and back tank depends alot on how much poking terran does while moving up. In contrast with parting controls with his units and manage shield regen and not take too much tank shots
