I was by from far for Squirtle, but you can't say MVP he's a bad player, nor a bonjwa. I don't blame him for using all-in: he's progamer, he does what it is needed to win, al-in are strat like other and he's a great player he has proved it so many times last year and in this season of the GSL how good it is: the three first game against Squirtle were well played and he did an amazing job against Parting .
I blame just a bit Blizzard for the MULE, couldn't they add something like the MULE can't mine if there are less than 5 scv mining or something like that? It wouldn't change the game at all except those all-in which are getting really annoying...
It's good to be back

There's a certain amount of irony in the fact that MVP is winning GSL more frequently than the entire Protoss race is and yet people still QQ about how OP Protoss are.

14 months and counting...you have absolutely no grounds for complaint.


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.

Even blizzard said that late game TvP is bullshit...>_>

There's no way to beat lategame protoss armies if the protoss plays properly.

It's too bad the past 30 threads are nerds argueing over nonsensical shit, when they could spend their time enjoying what was one of the better finals in GSL.

Ya exactly. Haters gonna hate.
MVP, nerves of steel.

Also, its hilarious that whereas someone like MC all-ins his entire SC2 career and has mad fans for it but MVP does it in a deciding game 7, after dropping 3 games in a row, including that heart breaker on Metropolis and he is 'cheeser' ? come on guys, get some perspective.

Oh please Mvp was the underdog throughout the entire GSL. He was in a huge slump. A 10 month GSL drought. Even I thought he probably wouldn't make it out of Ro32 he was doing so poor.


I never had any such doubts.

That was a great final, but Bonjwa? Really? Not even close.


MVP has been dominating for over a year and a half. It's certainly "close" now,

lol no he hasn't. He's been up and down. That's not bonjwa status.

4 gsls the only wcg and the only MLG he attended he won iirc

he is the closest to bonjwa even if not there yet

No. Bonjwa is a full year of domination. No falling off. No slumps.

I love Mvp, he's my favorite player. But he is no bonjwa.


But this is rubbish, BW bonjwas had plenty of slumps during their reign. People are making the term more sacred than it ever was, with these standards half of the BW bonjwas would never have been labelled as such.


This, just be honest guys. We all know you don't want the term Bonjwa to carry over from BW to SC2.


To me, a Bonjwa had an aura of invincibility/inevitability whenever he went up against anyone else. MVP just doesn't carry the same aura (probably because he isn't invincible in every single foreign event/team league).

Personally, I just think it's a difference in the games. Until we always put MVP as the clearcut favorite in every MLG, IPL, Teamleague match, and GSL, he doesn't really live up to the name (which isn't his fault, I just think SC2 is harder to consistently dominate).
SC2 is still way more volatile.

People are crazy - they were calling the best SC2 player to be: Leenock, MMA, DRG, MKP etc.
MVP just got knocked out of Iron Squid group stage... by Idra.
Finally wins something again = congrats, that's all.

Player skill =/= race's power


I ain't going to lie, even against Naniwa, of all people, I thought MVP was the underdog.

4 stars, only because games 1-3 were pretty lackluster.

You know how u win vs toss !

LISTEN to BLIZZARD !

Punish Toss IN THE EARLY GAME and win !

Don't PUNISH TOSS, play straight macro game = 100% loss.

That's how i keep my toss win over 60%. Never, but never, macro game


I believe the message from Blizzard is to damage toss early game to come even late game. Terran going to late game with toss wouldn't necessarily mean the toss has an advantage. It's relative to how much damage was done. Blizzard is not telling you to win early game and that otherwise you lose...

They kind of said, kill toss in the midgame but then you can drag it out to the lategame if you like(rather than just take the w) and fight heads on.


This is what they said

We do agree that if both sides take few to no losses going into the late game, protoss can have an advantage. That said, we also know that terran players have a lot of offensive capability and harassment options at their fingertips in the mid-game. If terran players press that mid-game advantage, then protoss can’t necessarily get into the late game at their full potential, which can nullify any advantage they might have had. So, pressing that mid-game advantage is important (just as it would be important for protoss players to mitigate mid-game damage so they can to move into the late game in the strongest possible position). Ultimately, each game plays out differently, and depending on how the two races enter the late game, each side has a fair chance to win.


From that quote, they are definitely not advocating for terran to win early or during the midgame. As game designers, they would never say or even mean to hint at that. It's clear they are saying that terran has to do more damage earlier to break even or to gain an advantage later because they are supposedly designed that way.

In the ro8 there were no zergs and 5 protosses which should actually just indicate how well protoss is doing that their attrition rate is so low
