It's because people who watched/followed BW know the true meaning/feeling of the word and don't want that meaning distorted. Often, people who are pushing for it in SC2 haven't seen how scary players like Savior and oov and Flash were to any opponent on any map at any time. No one in sc2 has really achieved that (personally I think MC was closest, but it wasn't for very long). | ||

Honestly, I'm not hating on MVP for what he did. He won, and props to him for that. I'm just saying it wasn't a legitimately good game with respect to a showcase of skill and decision making. You seem adamant to not be persuaded away from your view point but I'll throw my opinion in there and see if I can help. The reason game 7 was good was firstly because of the balls needed to do that. Proxy 2 raxxing in a good position in the GSL Code S finals after you've lost 3 in a row needs balls, I can appreciate that. Secondly it was because MVP was dead, Squirtle pushed him out of the base and MVP was essentially dead, the only way the only chance he had was relying on a Squirtle mistake and then controlling everything perfectly to pounce on the mistake. The Rax had been pumping while he was retreating and his Marines had been positioned above the rax so they could either retreat or swoop in and capitalise. Squirtle overextended and MVP uses such brilliant decision making in the event Squirtle pokes out that far to swing it back in his favour. And lastly because as the guy said you don't know was going to win for the majority of the game, initially you thought Squirtle had it easy, then you thought MVP had it easy, then Squirtle stopped it, then he cocked up and MVP had it, then got the bunker up, then he stopped MVPs mining and so on. You seem to be implying that because this wasn't a 40 minute action packed game filled with decision making it wasn't good in your opinion, that's fine but don't try to say the game was not good when analysised for the qualities and decision making and external factors surrounding it | ||

As a Terran player I need not do any considering :D Meh, not switching. Play random in 4v4s and find T playstyle boring as hell. Might switch to Zerg though. Infestors are fun. | ||

What a game to wrap the series. One of the most tense SC2 game Ive seen from start to finish (kind of reminded me of the last BW proleague final game between bisu vs flash). Also another interesting thing was how the series highlighted the major flaws that exist in the TvP matchup, from the early/late game issues to Blizzard having no LAN. Hope they were watching this hahaha | ||

I mean i know how to micro my MMMVG, but still I'm quite impressed with the pro players control as they micro it a lot better than me. Same can be said about 11/11, I might know how to do it, but in this case MVP did it a lot better than I would ever be able to do it. That's true. Mvp is pretty beast with his 2 rax: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/RxNnal.jpg) | ||

Honestly, I'm not hating on MVP for what he did. He won, and props to him for that. I'm just saying it wasn't a legitimately good game with respect to a showcase of skill and decision making. Choosing a high-risk strategy and committing to it under the most high-pressure situation possible in the GSL is an example of both. It wasn't won based on a long-term game plan with tip-top mechanics. Props to you for noticing that. I'm just saying that your opinion of this game not being "legitimately good" makes me think you're one of those people that complains about anything to sound insightful. Everyone will remember this game. It is going to be enshrined as the finale to an amazing GSL finals. | ||

GSL finals aren't a representation of balance. Protoss is perfectly balanced at this moment. They have weaknesses and strengths and neither is completely broken. On-topic: I predict a ST vs IM GSTL finals with MVP vs Squirtle game 7. Calling it right now. | ||

Now if you're playing every tournament possible, chances are that you'll lose a shit tone of games, preventing you from building this final boss aura. This man knows what he is talking about. A SC2 Bonjwa would always work differently then a BW one. I feel like when most of us gain the advantage of hindsight we'll realise this. I doubt we'll ever see someone overtake MVP's record of 4 GSL's (unless maybe MVP himself!). | ||

He cant beat Squirtle. Haters did a lot of talking and now they are outlined in chalk. I can't think of anyone who would pick a 3 time champion not making it out of the Ro32, Ro16 maybe. | ||
